dc.description.abstractEvidence from a range of countries shows that much of microinsurance is provided in an informal and unregulated way. Issues for consideration in designing a regulatory response to informality are outlined in this ‘focus note’ document. Informal markets can play an important role in providing service to people ignored by the formal sector, but they also pose risks for consumers. Analysis shows that the informal market is not necessarily illegal. Informal activities may simply be unregulated. However, whether or not it is technically illegal, informality is likely to pose challenges for both the market and regulators.en
