OIC Secretary-General Promotes National Disaster Insurance in Udon Thani
The Secretary-General of the Office of Insurance Commission (OIC) visited Udon Thani to align insurance policies with government economic initiatives, emphasizing the role of national disaster insurance.
On November 2, 2026, Mr. Chuchat Pramoolpol, Secretary-General of the Office of Insurance Commission (OIC), visited Udon Thani province alongside Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr. Ekniti Nitithanprapas. The visit was part of a broader mission to monitor the performance of agencies under the Ministry of Finance and to integrate insurance strategies with national economic policies. During the visit to the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) and local agricultural cooperatives, Mr. Chuchat highlighted the importance of the national disaster insurance scheme. He stated that the insurance sector serves as a critical mechanism for managing risks and mitigating financial impacts from unexpected events, including natural disasters. For residents and business owners in Thailand, this initiative underscores the government's focus on expanding insurance accessibility to provide a safety net against unforeseen economic shocks. While the OIC is actively promoting these policies to strengthen regional financial stability, specific details regarding the rollout of new insurance products or changes to existing coverage terms for the general public remain to be confirmed by official regulatory announcements.
