Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you provide insights on the growth potential for life and credit life insurance over the next 12 to 18 months? A: Andre Borba, CEO: The penetration of life insurance is still low in Brazil, at about half a percent of GDP compared to 2% in other emerging markets, indicating significant growth potential. For credit life insurance, 80% of premiums are with individuals, primarily from payroll loans. We see room for growth in life insurance through low-cost products and exploring new niches, such as life insurance with an accumulation factor.
