Per the OECD’s 2024 report on Global Insurance Market Trends, the insurance penetration rate is much lower in developing economies. Ensuring access to insurance and the financial protection of vulnerable populations is as important as ever, and Toronto Centre remains committed to advancing inclusive insurance globally and improving financial resiliency.
On July 1, 2025, CGAP will become the new host and convenor of the Access to Insurance Initiative (A2ii) and the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) will become a member of CGAP. A2ii’s current collection of training tools and materials will be supported by Toronto Centre. Toronto Centre will deepen its partnership with CGAP and be a preferred capacity-building implementation partner, integrating A2ii’s training modules into its global supervisory training programs and continue as an implementation partner to the IAIS, primarily on Risk Based Supervision.
This partnership brings together the complementary strengths of each organization to ensure insurance supervisors—especially in developing and emerging markets—have timely access to practical tools, global standards, and evidence-based training on inclusive insurance.
