Digital public infrastructure acts as a catalyst for financial inclusion in insurance by improving connectivity, enabling digital payments, and facilitating data analysis. Through collaboration between governments and insurers, an enabling environment is created to bridge the gap and expand access to insurance products. This infrastructure empowers individuals and communities, particularly in underserved areas, by providing them with convenient access to insurance information, affordable premium payment options, and tailored insurance products based on data analysis. By leveraging digital technologies and public infrastructure, financial inclusion in insurance becomes a reality, promoting economic stability and resilience for previously marginalised populations.
