The “Beyond Coverage” study shows over 4 per cent GDP gains if insurance uptake increases by 50 per cent between 2023 and 2050


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 September 2025 – Expanding insurance coverage could increase economic growth across six ASEAN countries, adding over 4 per cent to GDP in key markets between 2023 and 2050, according to a study titled “Beyond Coverage – The Social and Economic Impact of Insurance in ASEAN”, commissioned by Prudential plc (“Prudential”). This report highlights how insurance is not just a safety net, but a powerful driver of inclusive development and resilience.

The study, through a blend of qualitative analysis and quantitative econometric regression in partnership with PwC, evaluates the social and economic impact of insurance in six ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. It highlights the crucial role of life insurance and non-life insurance (inclusive of health insurance) in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals and contributing to key factors of long-term economic growth, including labour force participation, capital deepening, and human capital development.

Using annual data from 1999 to 2019 for the six countries, quantitative modelling reveals that a 50 per cent increase in life insurance uptake by 2050 could see up to 5.1 per cent rise in GDP per capita and a 4.4 per cent growth in the total GDP in these countries. Similarly, a 50 per cent growth in non-life insurance coverage is projected to yield up to 3.1 per cent increase in GDP per capita and a 2.6 per cent increase in the total GDP in the six countries. These gains can be attributed to a more robust workforce and greater financial confidence.

Neil Moge, Group Chief Investment Officer at Prudential plc, said: “Insurance is a powerful catalyst for sustainable growth across ASEAN, underpinning the region’s journey toward resilience and prosperity. By delivering essential risk protection and fostering financial stability, insurers lay the groundwork for communities to flourish.

“Moreover, the industry’s ability to direct long-term capital into critical sectors, such as infrastructure and green energy, fuels economic advancement and social well-being. The continued expansion of insurance throughout ASEAN opens new horizons of opportunity, empowers inclusive development, and enables the entire region to thrive.”

Steven Chan, Group Chief Government Relations and Policy Officer at Prudential plc, said: “The study presents substantial opportunities for policymakers and industry leaders to capture the benefits of insurance.

“By sharing these findings, our goal is to provide further insights and initial policy recommendations in promoting sustainable and inclusive growth of the insurance industry. In the short term, priorities include implementing fiscal incentives such as tax deductions for insurance premiums and establishing supportive regulatory frameworks to capture the benefits of insurance. Long-term strategies focus on talent development and public-private partnerships to improve the insurance ecosystem and public awareness.”

Prudential is committed to continuing its work alongside other stakeholders in ASEAN to harness the power of a robust insurance sector, which is essential for fostering economic development and enhancing social welfare.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 September 2025 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has wrapped its “Thai’d Up This Summer” campaign with resounding success, spotlighting eight international winners whose 10-day journey across Thailand became a living showcase of the nation’s cultural richness, natural beauty, and creative spirit. Timed perfectly with Europe’s summer holidays, the campaign encouraged young travelers and families to discover Thailand’s warmth, creativity, and hidden gems through the lens of sustainable travel and responsible tourism.

Thai’d Up This Summer

From the grandeur of Bangkok’s royal temples shimmering in gold, and the thrill of tuk-tuk rides weaving through vibrant city streets, to hands-on Thai massage workshops at Wat Pho beneath ancient murals, the journey unfolded like a cinematic adventure. In Chiang Mai, participants embraced Lanna heritage through Northern cuisine served in traditional wooden homes, jungle coasters winding through lush canopies, and Muay Thai training at Buakaw Village surrounded by rice fields. Koh Samui offered marine park explorations with panoramic viewpoints, coconut oil crafting in open-air kitchens, and serene island escapes with turquoise waters. Nakhon Si Thammarat revealed the soul of Southern Thailand through chocolate-making in artisanal studios, shadow puppet artistry in colorful community museums, and tranquil homestays nestled among fruit orchards.

The final leg in Bangkok blended canal-side heritage—wooden houses adorned with century-old art—with modern mixology in rooftop bars overlooking the skyline. Each moment was curated to foster emotional connection, cultural appreciation, and unforgettable memories.

This campaign not only elevated Thailand’s positioning as a multi-generational destination but also sparked fresh travel aspirations among Europe’s next-gen explorers. Through strategic storytelling and authentic engagement, “Thai’d Up This Summer” has become a blueprint for tourism that is inclusive, experiential, and future-facing—inviting European travelers of all ages to discover Thailand’s hidden gems and cultural depth like never before.

Complementing the journey, TAT’s “Amazing Grand Privileges” initiative offered exclusive perks for international families visiting Thailand between August and September 2025—further reinforcing the country’s commitment to hospitality and innovation.

Thailand is no longer just a destination—it’s a feeling, a story, a shared experience. And for European travelers, it’s an invitation to discover the extraordinary.

Global Africa Business Initiative highlights groundbreaking projects shaping Africa’s digital and financial future

NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Major projects and initiatives that are set to position Africa at the heart of global innovation, notably the expansion of the continent’s AI infrastructure, were announced today at Unstoppable Africa 2025 in New York as CEOs convened to discuss Africa’s place in the global economy. This marks a significant step in enabling the continent’s stakeholders to develop local AI solutions designed to address some of Africa’s most pressing challenges.

Zimbabwean billionaire, Founder and Executive Chairman of Econet Global and Cassava Technologies, Strive Masiyiwa, announced that steps are underway to establish Africa’s first network of AI factories. Powered by NVIDIA GPUs, the facilities will be completed by the end of 2026, setting the stage for homegrown innovation and accelerating Africa’s participation in the global AI economy.

Another announcement came from Meta, presented by Kojo Boakye, Vice President, Public Policy Director for Africa, Middle East & Turkey. The company signalled upcoming investment opportunities in Africa’s digital ecosystem, highlighting its confidence in the continent’s growing tech and AI potential.

These initiatives reflect a shift toward locally led solutions and long-term planning, with a focus on robust systems, adoption of advanced technologies and capital investment to drive regional integration and global competitiveness.

The second day of Unstoppable Africa 2025, flagship event of the Global Africa Business Initiative (GABI), united business leaders, African heads of state, global investors and international institutions to accelerate the continent’s economic transformation. New commitments in infrastructure, advanced technologies and investment highlighted growing confidence in Africa’s private sector.

In the financial services sector, the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) in collaboration with African Pension and Social Security Institutions launched the ‘Africa Savings for Growth’ initiative to explore ways to channel African institutional savings into longer-term investments that support inclusive growth. The continent-wide initiative builds on AFC’s 2025 analysis identifying at least $1.17 trillion in institutional assets across Africa, much of it still allocated to short-term, low-yield instruments.

The Global Africa Business Initiative launched two new GABI Action Pathways focused on digital transformation and healthcare aiming to connect businesses, governments and innovators working in sectors critical to Africa’s competitiveness and resilience.

The Healthcare Action Pathway aims to improve access to medical services through digital tools, build stronger regional supply chains, attract investment and support the growth of Africa’s healthcare workforce. The Digital Transformation Action Pathway focuses on upgrading government services, expanding internet access and digital infrastructure, training people for future jobs, helping small businesses with tech and funding and promoting responsible use of AI and data.

Discussions on Day Two focused on new partnerships, Africa’s digital growth and the continent’s thriving sports and creative industries, including music and fashion.

The forum concluded by highlighting Ava DuVernay, acclaimed director, screenwriter, producer, and founder of ARRAY; 15 year-old Ellyanne Wanjiku Chlystun-Githae, Climate & Health Champion at Seeds for Leadership; Mpumelelo Tevin Mhlongo, Paralympic champion and triple world record holder; Marcus Samuelsson, chef, restaurateur, and author; and international singer-songwriter, Tiwa Savage, who also performed at the end of the event. Their inspiring contributions echoed the forum’s central message of empowerment, innovation and sustainable progress across the continent.

Closing the forum, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Amina J. Mohammed said, “When people say Africa is resilient, they’ve got a different definition to resilience than we have. Africa’s resilience is about how we build on what we have and how we strengthen our markets, our economies and our democracies and I believe that the values and principles that we all hold are important. Unstoppable Africa is a space to remind ourselves that this is who we are, it is our narrative, on our terms that we go forth.”

Unstoppable Africa is the leading African business forum held outside the continent. Hosted by United Nations Secretary General António Guterres and H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, Chairperson of the African Union, the event took place just ahead of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in New York. Unstoppable Africa aims to accelerate the continent’s economic transformation and empower Africa to take a leading role in shaping the markets of the future.

Pétanque Dropped from 2025 Southeast Asian Games Over Thai Federation Scandal

The World Pétanque and Bowls Federation has officially banned all pétanque (boules) competitions from the 33rd Southeast Asian Games, scheduled to take place in Thailand from 9 to 25 December

In a letter dated 20 September, federation president Claude Azéma expressed serious concern over the “irresponsible conduct” of individuals within the Pétanque Federation of Thailand. 

At the heart of the controversy is a former president of the Thai federation who was previously banned for life due to embezzlement, election manipulation, and sexual assault. Despite the lifetime ban, the individual is reported to still wield influence over the sport’s leadership in the country.

The global federation also criticised Thailand’s national sports authorities for enabling this continued influence and accused them of mismanaging funds allocated for pétanque. 

In the letter, the federation stated that it “cannot allow the sport to become a tool for personal gain”, and declared that Thai officials are “incompetent and incapable of properly managing future pétanque competitions”.

As a result, the World Pétanque and Bowls Federation has withdrawn its support for pétanque events at this year’s Southeast Asian Games.

The international governing body also warned that any country sending athletes to compete in unsanctioned pétanque events during the Games could face a two-year suspension from major international tournaments. These include the World Games, the Asian Championships, the Asian Masters Games, and the 2027 Southeast Asian Games in Malaysia.

Azéma concluded the letter with a strong rebuke, warning that Thailand risks losing multiple titles and medals because of “one of its unworthy nationals, who should be permanently excluded from all sporting activities.”

MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 September 2025 – Wildberries, a leading digital platform in Eurasia, has launched student enrollment for RWB University, the company’s own university for advancing e-commerce entrepreneurs and digital professionals. Depending on the program, graduates will receive a state-accredited diploma in professional retraining or a certificate of advanced professional training.

The university’s unique flagship program is the Master’s in Intellectual Entrepreneurship, which spans at least 12 months and prepares current entrepreneurs to scale their business on digital platforms through market testing and developing new products using artificial intelligence (AI). The program differs from a traditional Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) program with its focus on teaching participants to systematically think and act ahead in the dynamically evolving digital commerce space. After completing required coursework on applied AI, product development and strategic thinking, participants can select from a number of additional course modules based on their needs and will solve their own business cases with the support of company experts.

“Our educational programs stand out for their practice-oriented approach, built around engagement with experts and aimed at developing an entrepreneurial mindset and proactive thinking,” said Igor Koval, Director of Innovation and Ecosystem Development at the united company Wildberries & Russ. “Our university won’t so much teach specific professions as it will teach a new way of thinking that will be relevant regardless of the situation. This is a completely different approach to business development, grounded in our company’s strong expertise.”

RWB University also currently offers two additional courses: a two-month intensive program on growing a business on the Wildberries marketplace, and an online course on applied AI, which includes automating routine tasks and creating personal AI agents to help run a business.

The entrepreneur-focused programs are just the first phase of launching RWB University. Next year, the company plans to introduce joint master’s degree programs with top Russian universities that will offer training in the most in-demand practical skills for digital professions. These programs will focus on e-commerce, applied AI and robotics, and product leadership, and will also offer consulting and mentoring services for entrepreneurs.

In the coming months, Wildberries & Russ will host the first All-Russia High School Olympiad in Innovative Entrepreneurship, titled “The Future of Business,” in partnership with the State University of Management. The company collaborates with over 60 universities, colleges and schools, organizing joint educational programs, career events, regular lectures and hackathons.
