How this measure is built
- Definition
- Annual real (inflation-adjusted) growth rate of life insurance premiums.
- Measure
- One slice of Insurance premiums ( basis: constant currency, form: growth, segment: life ) . Total premium volume written or collected by insurers on insurance policies. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Publishers release on different schedules, so the latest period differs by region; compare regions on the same period. 2 figures are projections, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
