The Protection Gap Tracker monitors areas where reported losses, exposures, or coverage needs may exceed available insurance protection.
Purpose
The tracker should help readers identify markets, risks, and policy areas where protection-gap discussions are most active.
Methodology
The tracker should record:
- Market or jurisdiction.
- Risk type.
- Source date.
- Reported loss or exposure figure, where available.
- Insured-loss or coverage indicator, where available.
- Source quality.
- Editorial caveats.
Limitations
Protection-gap comparisons can be sensitive to definitions, time periods, reporting standards, inflation, exchange rates, and data availability.
Reader Note
Tracker pages should be read with their methodology, source hierarchy, and stated limitations.
