3yInteresting topic Alberto. I think that just like financial inclusion is one of the biggest challenges for banks in emerging economies; for carriers, penetration of non-mandatory insurance is perhaps the hardest task. Insurtech and microinsurance could be pointing in the right direction, but I see two main problems: 1. Underserved communities are also the ones with less access to digital services and less interaction with eCommerce, eBanking and online insurance. 2. As some have mentioned, the premiums of microinsurance are too small to make this business line somewhat sustainable unless there are outside incentives and very large volumes. The key might be in successful cases of embedded insurance through other types of services, such as utility bills, but the challenge is to keep it transparent for the user. At the end of the day, I believe that this is not just a matter of finding "the product" but also of tackling financial education as a must in order to push the boundaries of this industry. Cheers!
