Taiwan

Three steps forward, one step back

There is a lot of optimism still for this mature market as 2016 saw good growth from both the life (7.06%) and nonlife (7.23%) sectors. There is also no respite from the onslaught of change and the overly cautious regulations add to the struggle for insurers. The regulator is constantly reviewing regulations to help ensure that insurers provide consumers with more comprehensive covers and services.

Interview with Regulator - A most fruitful year

Despite 2016 being fraught with challenges, including a volatile global economy and a series of unfortunate disasters at home, Ms Grace Lee, Director General of the Financial Supervisory Commission’s Insurance Bureau says the industry has fared well. In this exclusive, she elaborates on her assessment of the market, as well as her agenda for 2017.

Startup seeks to re-write tradition

Diabetic patients have traditionally been shunned by underwriters, but things are about to change – if they have not already started. Health2Sync’s proprietary platform empowers patients to manage their condition, while giving insurers a new way to assess risk and offer protection to a demographic previously considered uninsurable, says CEO Ed Deng.
 

Embracing the bright yet challenging future on renewable energy

Taiwan’s Renewable Energy Development Plan targets 20% of its power to be generated from renewable energy by 2025. Mr Patrice Nigon of Swiss Re discusses how they are supporting these endeavours to develop clean energy.
