Swiss Re continues to advocate for sustainable infrastructure as a highly appealing investment opportunity within the insurance sector, despite its current lack of classification as an official asset class. Jérôme Jean Haegeli, Group Chief Economist at Swiss Re, emphasized the necessity for sustainable infrastructure to be tradeable and accessible for significant investment. He highlighted the potential economic benefits, noting that investments in this area could yield a growth multiplier of three to ten times the initial amount. Additionally, Haegeli and Paul Murray, CEO of Life & Health Reinsurance, pointed out the alignment of sustainable infrastructure with broader social goals and the importance of increasing insurance accessibility to underserved populations.
