Reflections from ICII 2025: Advancing inclusive insurance in Latin America
The 21st International Conference on Inclusive Insurance (ICII 2025) in Quito, hosted by the Federación Ecuatoriana de Empresas de Seguros (FEDESEG), the Junta de Política y Regulación Financiera (JPRF), the Superintendencia de Compañías, Valores y Seguros in cooperation with Munich Re Foundation and the Microinsurance Network, brought together 400 experts from 47 countries to explore how innovation, regulation, and collaboration are advancing inclusive insurance in Latin America. From tackling persistent protection gaps to showcasing Ecuador’s new national principles for financial resilience, the event highlighted the region’s growing leadership in creating accessible, sustainable insurance solutions tailored to local needs.
