Like the dry, dusty Harmattan wind, inflation is blowing across Nigeria, and its chill is felt everywhere.
From food to petrol, transportation to housing, prices are rising alarmingly, squeezing budgets and leaving many feeling vulnerable and frustrated.
The latest government statistics showed the inflation rate in January rose to 29.9%, its highest since 1996.
But there’s a haven in these turbulent times: the shelter of insurance.
However, we must first understand the impact of inflation. Inflation, the sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services, silently erodes the value of your money. What you bought for ₦1000 today won’t cost the same tomorrow.
While inflation may seem like an ‘econospeak’ or an abstract concept to the average person, its effect translates to real-life struggles. Imagine each Naira as a unit of your spending power; inflation, like a thief, steals value from these units, making everything from bread to building materials more expensive.
This unpredictable thief adds another layer of worry, as sudden price spikes can leave you, businesses, and property owners exposed.The impact is felt by everyone
Individuals:
Daily life becomes a struggle as the cost of living rises, squeezing budgets and creating anxiety.
Businesses:
Operational costs climb, potentially leading to higher prices or lower profits, impacting everyone along the chain.
Property Owners:
Repairing or replacing damaged property becomes even more expensive due to inflation, leaving you exposed financially.
Now, unexpected events are stressful enough, but when combined with rising costs, they can become overwhelming. Imagine facing a sudden medical expense that is twice what it was last year.
We at Coronation understand the worries inflation brings. That’s why we offer comprehensive insurance solutions designed to shield you from the financial blows of rising prices.
INSURANCE: Your Inflation-Proof Shield
Think of insurance as your umbrella deflecting the financial storm of inflation. Insurance serves as a strategic hedge, shielding individuals and businesses from unforeseen financial burdens due to inflationary pressures. Whether through life, health, or property insurance, these risk-mitigation tools provide a safety net.
They assist policyholders in navigating economic uncertainties by offering financial support for medical expenses, property damages, or loss of income. Diversifying one’s financial strategy to include insurance helps not only protect assets but also fosters a sense of financial security amidst the dynamic economic landscape.
Here’s how Coronation’s insurance protects you in these uncertain times:

Imagine your car suffers a breakdown or accident. Without insurance, repair costs, already inflated, can become crippling. Coronation’s Car insurance absorbs this financial blow, ensuring your vehicle gets back on the road quickly and affordably.
