Insurance and risk solutions for multinational companies in Asia
Today, more than 42% of Fortune Global 500 companies are headquartered in Asia — an increase from just 29% in 2010, which indicates the rising competitiveness of the region’s businesses on the world stage. As Asia’s multinational companies (MNCs) pursue immense growth and investment opportunities globally, they need risk transfer and mitigation solutions that are tailored to their unique requirements and local regulatory environments. Risk management and insurance solutions are key to safeguarding their ambitions, which has seen an outwards foreign direct investment (FDI) stock from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and India totaling over US$5.4 trillion — more than three times of the US$1.6 trillion in 2010.
The focus of these FDIs mainly centers upon infrastructure development, heavy industry, automotive, and high-end manufacturing. China, for example, has pledged more than US$1 trillion towards the Belt and Road Initiative, with projects and investment opportunities valued at US$3.7 trillion. Risk exposures from projects, physical assets, and investments need to be accurately quantified, and partnering with an experienced insurance broker and risk advisor is a crucial step to uncovering risk blind spots, prioritizing the right risks to address, and ensuring corporate accountability to stakeholders.
