Andreas Brandstetter
Speaking at the 12th International Insurance Conference, which takes place in Prague, Brandstetter, who is CEO and chairman of UNIQA Insurance Group AG, outlined three common areas where protection gaps exist:
1. A lack of pension provision — Throughout the world, governments face a huge challenge in providing funds for retired citizens as the proportion of workers to retirees falls in most countries. This, in turn, impacts pay-as-you-go pension systems.
2. A lack of cover for natural catastrophes — While the situation varies significantly across the world, the scale of natural catastrophe protection gaps is often shocking and can be particularly acute for emerging economies. Climate change will add to the challenge.
3. A lack of cover for cyber risk — Ongoing cyber-attacks show just how exposed societies and economies are to online criminals. There is, therefore, a clear need to increase cyber resilience.
