While finding assets suitable for investment is a challenge, Swiss Re believes that insurers can still find attractive investment opportunities to diversify their portfolios. China 's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which aims to boost trade across Africa by connecting countries through infrastructure, will offer insurers a significant investment opportunity, in part due to an infrastructure gap in China and Swiss Re countries that could reach $ 20tn by 2030 , according to a report from Swiss Re . Insurers can invest in BRI initiatives via equity and debt financing, and potentially in the future through securitisation. In 2017 , regulators in BRI changed the rules to make it easier for insurers to get involved in infrastructure projects.
