BestWeek Asia/Pacific: Renewable Energy a Growth Market for Insurance

HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--There is huge growth potential for insurance for renewable energy businesses in the Asia-Pacific region, as an article in the current edition of BestWeek Asia-Pacific explains. Munich Re points to what it says is the highly capital-intensive nature of renewable energy manufacturing and project development, with the consequent need for risk management.

Also in BestWeek Asia-Pacific, Vietnam is expanding a pilot agricultural insurance program in an effort to enlist insurers in risk mitigation for its crucial farming sector.
