From 11-13 November, Mexico City will host the 10th International Microinsurance Conference. The Microinsurance Network supports the Munich Re Foundation in this event organisation. This is a great opportunity for experts and participants from all around the world to share experiences, and discuss new challenges and opportunities in microinsurance.

The 500 participants will include representatives from insurance and reinsurance companies, international organisations, NGOs, development-aid agencies, academics, policymakers, regulators and supervisors.

This CGAP blog by Jeremy Leach and Sandisiwe Ncube reports on the findings of the paper “Exploring New Frontiers - The Potential of Impact Investments in Microinsurance” published by the Funders Discussion Group of the Microinsurance Network.

The Microinsurance Network has supported the The Landscape of Microinsurance in Asia and Oceania published by  Munich Re Foundation and the GIZ-RFPI Asia, which was launched at last week's Microinsurance Learning Session Asia and Oceania, in Manila, Philippines.
