PwC’s IFRS 17 Health Check Survey 2021: Asia Pacific
The insurance industry is growing rapidly in Asia Pacific's developing markets. A significant unifying factor in this diverse region is the adoption of IFRS 17, a globally standardised accounting model for all insurance contracts.
We surveyed close to 70 insurance executives across 11 countries in the Asia Pacific region to understand how insurers are conducting their IFRS 17 programmes. The responses provide insights into approaches followed, progress made and challenges faced with IFRS 17 implementation.
Risks and changes in the digital era
Insurance Banana Skins 2019: A Singapore observation
With the pace of change at an unprecedented level, insurance industry players are constantly being challenged on the status quo. The ability to manage and embed these changes throughout the organisation is crucial.
The overall tone of the survey shows a rise in the anxiety level faced by the Singapore insurance industry. This is due largely to a rise in operating risks; most notably advances in technology, and political and regulatory risk which could impose constraints on the industry.
23rd CEO Survey - Key findings from the Insurance industry
Moving from resilience to reinvention will help insurers succeed in uncertain times
In the face of gathering economic headwinds, tech disruption and geopolitical uncertainty, PwC’s 23rd Annual Global CEO Survey shows that although most insurers acknowledge challenges over the next 12 months, they’re confident in their own long-term resilience. The front-runners, in fact, want to go beyond simply surviving by using these challenges to their advantage.
The Singapore insurance industry provides a broad range of life, health, general, commercial and reinsurance coverage to individuals and businesses. A strong regulatory environment and entry of a number of global companies and brokers has seen Singapore established as a key regional centre for insurance and reinsurance, and domestically the penetration of life and health products continues to increase.
Challenges faced by insurers include the need to strengthen customer relationships and develop tailored and targeted products in the face of increasing customer demands and competition.
