A large proportion of Brazil’s population (72%) is considered financially vulnerable. Informal workers, women, young people and those living in shanty towns represent particularly underserved segments that require greater attention from the insurance industry.
In this context, the actions undertaken by the National Confederation of Insurance Companies (CNseg) and the Superintendency of Private Insurance (SUSEP) are important in helping both the supply and demand sides overcome challenges and barriers faced in the marketing, sales and access to microinsurance.
The impact of the government's efforts to fight poverty was counteracted by economic crises and the pandemic. Insurance can offer an alternative to improve the resilience of both the population and the state.
