Sumario: The past two years may have been the most peculiar recession and recovery in living memory. In 2020, the human tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a global economic downturn that was initially sharper than the Great Depression. As government support programs took shape, the recession rapidly bottomed out, leading to a strong economic recovery in 2021. Global financial markets took a roller-coaster ride as well. The impact on the insurance industry was noticeable: in 2020, premium growth slowed to approximately 1.2 percent (compared with more than 4 percent per year between 2010 and 2020) (Exhibit 1). Profits fell by about 15 percent from 2019. The decline was sharpest in Asia-Pacific (down 36 percent) and was particularly driven by falling profits in life. Preliminary data suggest that premium growth and profits rebounded in 2021, especially in regions where strong vaccine rollouts have made many activities possible again, at least periodically
