Latin America is a continent with one of the highest levels of inequality in the world, where 60% of the wealth lies in the hands of 20% of the population and around 120 individuals boast personal fortunes of over 2,000 million dollars each. By contrast, you then have an average household income of about USD 300 per month. Latin America has gone on a roller coaster in its history and it is frequently described as the land of future.  It is because of this tradition that the whole continent continues to offer great insurance business opportunities as it is experiencing a sustained period of strong growth.

Latam & Asia Insurance perspectives - (article published by ART Ins. Services Ltd - worth reading)

Prospectively, insurers will need to place great importance on professional and disciplined underwriting if they are to benefit from the healthy growth outlook in emerging markets and operate on a sustainable basis. Capital management will also be vital to support growth and comply with tightening solvency requirements. LATAM & ASIA  Insurance perspectives Latin America has experienced strong growth over the past decade and the outlook for the next decade remains promising.
