The Manulife Asia Care Survey covers 2,400 insurance policy owners across eight markets, including 300 in Hong Kong. The survey looks at the pandemic’s long-term impact on local economies, personal wealth, and insurance buying habits. All Hong Kong respondents expressed concern about the pandemic’s long-term impact on the local economy and their own personal wealth, said Manulife. “In Hong Kong, we see a far more discernible health consciousness among the public than before, especially for those who are insurance owners,” said Damien Green, chief executive of Manulife Hong Kong and Macau. “The survey findings also support the development of more digital platforms and tools for the Hong Kong people as the use of digital has risen dramatically during the coronavirus outbreak.”
