Charting the path to close Asia's $1tn insurance protection gap
At the 2025 GAIP Summit, industry leaders and regulators highlighted the urgent need to close protection gaps across Asia, focusing on health and natural catastrophe
“Turning Intentions into Resilient Outcomes”, is a companion paper to its first part, “Catalysing Resilience and Well-Being“. The first paper provides a strategic blueprint for addressing Asia's expanding protection gaps through an integrated, holistic approach, detailing the advantages of a holistic, coordinated strategy and outlining why such an approach generates far greater impact than isolated interventions.
This paper, authored by our external expert, Craig Thorburn, delves deeper into the practical aspects of developing and implementing an integrated, holistic protection gap strategy. It systematically walks readers through each phase of the strategic framework, equipping stakeholders with the tools needed to translate concepts into tangible, resilient results. With GAIP's vision of a risk resilient and sustainable world through insurance, closing protection gaps, this framework and the practical guide are an essential first step for us towards achieving our vision.
