Empowering the Vulnerable: Microinsurance for All

A decade ago, the esteemed economist Mr Meekal Ahmed shed light on Pakistan's economic crisis by contributing a chapter “An Economic Crisis State” in Pakistan Beyond the ‘Crisis State’. He lamented the steady deterioration of economic management to a cycle of financial crises. These problems were rooted in poor public finance management and unresolved structural issues exacerbated by bad governance and management practices. The consequences were evident: macroeconomic instability, soaring inflation, inadequate public services, neglect of social sectors, widespread corruption, debilitating power outages, escalating unemployment, deepening poverty, and mounting debt burden.
Amidst these challenges, insurance companies recognized the importance of safeguarding vulnerable populations. So, they stepped forward to forge strategic partnerships with microfinance institutions and NGOs. Together, they crafted tailor-made insurance products to offer essential coverage for lower-income individuals and communities. This approach created a safety net, shielding livelihoods from unforeseen circumstances like illness, accidents, and natural disasters.
