With more than 1.5 billion people enduring some form of stay-at-home orders to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns continue to surface about the economy. Estimates from the Congressional Research Service predict a 2-percent reduction in global economic growth per month under the existing conditions. It is expected to get worse before it gets better.
Insurance brokerage companies are in a unique position to help stimulate the economy. Each year, the insurance industry distributes more than $300 billion through policy benefits and claims. Insurance companies are among the biggest investors in companies, stocks, and bonds, with more than $1 trillion invested in the U.S. economy.
How Insurance Benefits the Economy
Most businesses and individuals do not give much thought to their insurance coverage until they need to use it. But insurance companies help to keep our economy strong in several ways.
1. Insurance companies help mitigate risk.
When an insurance company helps businesses mitigate risk, worker safety increases. villaNOVA Insurance Partners offers businesses a comprehensive risk analysis as part of its services. Once completed, the analysis will offer suggestions on the policies and procedures that provide the most protection for the business and its employees. This can include strong worker safety programs, which help to reduce the cost of insurance premiums. When workers are healthy and able to work, they play a role in stimulating the local economy.
2. Insurance companies provide the tools needed for recovery.
Unforeseen circumstances can cause financial distress for businesses. The right coverage helps businesses tackle challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, providing the financial tools needed to stay afloat or recover from a disaster. When businesses can continue to operate safely, employees continue to work and be paid, and economic activity increases.
3. Insurance companies are instruments of social policy.
Insurance provides social benefits like compensation for work injuries or funds for rebuilding property destroyed during natural disasters or other catastrophes. By providing a safety net for people to rebuild their livelihoods or recover from work-related injuries, insurance helps to stabilize the economy.
4. Insurance eliminates the need for “rainy day funds.”
Knowing there is financial coverage during times of unexpected loss allows consumers and businesses to invest more working capital into the economy.
