CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
The Insurance Association of Pakistan (IAP) and the Pakistan Society of Actuaries (PSOA) jointly present the 1st IAP–PSOA International Insurance Conference 2026 — a landmark platform bringing together the leadership of Pakistan’s insurance, actuarial, regulatory, and financial services ecosystem.
At a time when economies face rising climate exposure, cyber threats, demographic shifts, longevity challenges, and financial volatility, the role of insurance and actuarial science — across life, health, pensions, and general insurance — has never been more central to national resilience. This conference positions Pakistan within the global dialogue on risk protection, sustainability, innovation, and financial stability, with particular focus on disaster recovery, social protection, and strengthening the digital insurance ecosystem.
Under the theme “Reimagining Pakistan’s Resilience: Building a Sustainable Future through Insurance,” the conference will explore how insurance, reinsurance, risk management, data, and actuarial expertise can support economic security, infrastructure growth, social protection, financial inclusion, and long-term sustainability, with particular focus on life, health, and retirement solutions. This first joint international initiative of IAP and PSOA is expected to host 500+ senior participants, including regulators, policymakers, CEOs, actuaries, reinsurers, technology leaders, and international experts.
ABOUT THE HOSTS
Insurance Association of Pakistan (IAP)
Established in 1948, IAP is the representative body of Pakistan’s insurance and takaful industry, comprising leading life, non-life, and family takaful operators. IAP members account for nearly the entire national insurance premium base and work closely with regulators and government institutions to promote insurance awareness, sector development, and financial resilience.
Pakistan Society of Actuaries (PSOA)
PSOA represents Pakistan’s actuarial profession, contributing to technical standards, risk modelling, data-driven decision making, and long-term financial and insurance system stability. Actuaries play a pivotal role in solvency, pricing, pensions, and risk governance across the financial sector.
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
It is my great pleasure to warmly welcome our distinguished international speakers, policymakers, regulators, actuarial professionals, industry leaders, partners, and guests to the IAP–PSOA International Insurance Conference 2026 in Karachi.
In an era of increasingly complex and interconnected risks — from climate and catastrophe exposure to cyber threats, demographic change, and financial system stability — collaboration and shared expertise across life, health, pensions, and general insurance have become essential. This conference brings together government, regulators, insurers, actuaries, and global experts to strengthen dialogue and practical cooperation.
We extend special appreciation to our colleagues in government and regulatory institutions. Your leadership is vital in fostering a sound, transparent, and forward-looking insurance ecosystem that supports resilience, social protection, and sustainable economic growth.
To our international participants, we are truly honoured by your presence. Your global perspectives and technical experience help connect Pakistan’s insurance market with international best practices and innovation.
Under the theme “Reimagining Pakistan’s Resilience: Building a Sustainable Future through Insurance,” we look forward to meaningful discussions, new partnerships, and a productive exchange of ideas — along with experiencing the warmth and hospitality of Karachi.
We are delighted to welcome you and wish you a rewarding conference experience.
Chairman, IAP | CEO, State Life
Message from the President
Pakistan Society of Actuaries (PSOA)
Actuarial science lies at the heart of financial stability, solvency, and long-term risk management. As risks become more complex — from climate volatility to longevity shifts — closer collaboration between insurers, actuaries, and regulators is no longer optional; it is essential.
As a joint organiser, PSOA is proud to support this conference as a platform for advancing technical excellence, strengthening data-driven decision-making, and fostering sustainable insurance development in Pakistan, while bringing valuable international insight to the local market.
Usama Dangra
President, PSOA

Bringing together policymakers, regulators, insurers, actuaries, reinsurers, and global experts under one platform demonstrates the maturity and collaborative spirit of Pakistan’s insurance sector.
Beyond dialogue, this gathering represents partnership — strengthening professional relationships, sharing practical insights, and reinforcing our shared commitment to responsible growth and market stability.
