Closing Africa's protection gap
The Swiss Re Group is one of the world’s leading providers of reinsurance and insurance.
“Millions of Africans fall into poverty each year due to accidents, illnesses or disasters. They often lack a safety net as the insurance penetration in Africa as among the lowest on the planet. How can we change this to make Africa more resilient?“
Reto Schnarwiler, Strategic Advisor and Board Mandates, Swiss Re Middle East & Africa
