Definition:

Insurance is a financial arrangement that provides individuals or businesses with protection against unexpected financial losses. In exchange for regular payments, known as premiums, an insurance policyholder is covered in case of specific events, such as accidents, illnesses, or damage to property. When a covered event occurs, the insurance company compensates the policyholder, helping them recover from the financial impact of the loss or damage. Gross written premium (GWP) is the main indicator of the insurance market. It is the total amount of money that an insurance company collects from policyholders for their insurance coverage before deducting expenses or commissions.
