A Commonwealth Insured – report published; webinar of Africa panel now online

In 2020, the CII was accepted as a member of the Commonwealth family when we became a Commonwealth accredited organisation.

Report

To celebrate this development, the CII has published A Commonwealth Insured, a major report focusing on the insurance profession throughout the Commonwealth.
The report is available to download here.

A Commonwealth Insured focuses on the vital ways in which the insurance and personal finance professions support the Commonwealth’s priorities.
These include:

  • Supporting recovery from the pandemic
  • Establishing international robust standards of professionalism
  • Growing insurance accessibility through digitisation and microinsurance
  • Increasing financial resilience through life and health insurance
  • Developing solutions for natural / climate catastrophes
  • Promoting inclusion: insurance professionals, customer relationships
  • Embedding principles for sustainable insurance.

As in previous years, A Commonwealth Insured contains a wealth of insightful material:

  • Exclusive articles by insurance leaders throughout the Commonwealth
  • Data on the size and segmentation of the Commonwealth insurance market
  • Profiles of the insurance market and its prospects in Commonwealth countries
  • Reflections from CII executives about the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Many of the report contributors were leaders in the Africa insurance profession. Recognising this, in July 2021 the CII hosted a webinar of five contributors.
