Insurance innovation portrait Ethiopia
The report identifies Ethiopia's insurance market as underdeveloped, characterized by low penetration and a dominance of compulsory general insurance. While donor-led pilots in agriculture have introduced index-based products, sustainable industry-led innovation is limited by severe skills shortages, particularly in actuarial science, and an enabling environment hampered by unreliable electricity and restrictive regulations. The document proposes a seven-point action plan for the Insurance Supervisory Directorate (ISD) to improve microinsurance and bancassurance regulations, digitalize supervisory processes, and establish a more independent regulatory authority.
