2024 Parametric Insurance in Latin America: Update

by Insuralex / Wednesday, 14 August 2024 / Published in Allende & Brea, BLP Costa Rica, BLP El Salvador, BLP Guatemala, BLP Honduras, BLP Nicaragua, Brigard Urrutia, D’Empaire, Estudio Carvallo Abogados, Ferrere Abogados, Moreno Baldivieso, News + Articles, Osterling Abogados, Pereyra & Asociados, Pérez Bustamante & Ponce, Peroni Sosa Tellechea Burt & Narvaja, Pinheiro Neto Advogados, Reports, Saldaña Carvajal & Vélez-Rivé PSC, Sucre Arias Reyes

Insuralex is pleased to present this executive report updated to the year 2024 on some of the most important topics of how insurance markets in Latin America are regulated and unregulated in each jurisdiction of the region. Issues of whether parametric insurance is permitted and whether there are any restrictions on insurance companies or policyholders will be addressed.

This report updates the reports published in 2020 and 2022, considering the new regulations on parametric insurance issued in the last years and the fact that new jurisdictions from the region joined insuralex during the same period. (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Puerto Rico)

Parametric insurance is emerging as a transformative solution in Latin America, addressing the unique challenges posed by natural disasters and climate change. Unlike traditional insurance, which compensates for actual losses incurred, parametric insurance provides payouts based on predefined parameters or triggers, such as the magnitude of an earthquake or the amount of rainfall during a storm. This innovative approach ensures faster and more efficient claims processing, offering immediate financial relief to affected individuals and businesses.

In a region frequently impacted by hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods, parametric insurance offers a promising alternative to traditional indemnity-based models. It enhances resilience by providing quick liquidity, enabling communities to recover and rebuild more swiftly. Moreover, the simplicity and transparency of parametric policies make them accessible to a broader range of clients, including smallholder farmers and low-income households who are often the most vulnerable to natural disasters.

As Latin America continues to grapple with the effects of climate change, the adoption of parametric insurance is expected to grow, driven by advancements in technology and data analytics. By leveraging real-time data and sophisticated modeling techniques, insurers can design more accurate and responsive products, tailored to the specific risks faced by different regions. This not only strengthens the financial security of individuals and businesses but also contributes to the overall economic stability and development of the region.

Finally, please take in consideration that this report is intended to be executive in order to provide specific, simple and practical information for the various insurance specialists looking for a clear answer to their queries on this clearly hot topic in the insurance market.
