Covid-19: impact on the insurance industry

We are analyzing the risks and opportunities of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the insurance industry. It is an international research poll organized by THE SAINT-PETERSBURG STATE UNIVERSITY, VILNIUS GEDIMINAS TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY (VILNIUS TECH), and VIETNAM ACADEMY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES. We are asking representatives of insurance companies from different countries worldwide to fill out the survey. It is an anonymous poll. We ask only for info about the country of origin.

The information obtained gives us a good qualitative picture of many aspects of insurance companies' work during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
