Actuarial Resources for COVID-19

Statement by IAA President, Tonya Manning

With the now world-wide spread of the Coronavirus and its far-reaching implications, confusion and disinformation can spread as quickly as the virus itself, leaving a vacuum needing to be filled with facts and clarity. As actuaries, we seek to be reliable sources of research, information, analysis and advice to the stakeholders of our work. Throughout the challenging days ahead we must strive to uphold our profession’s high level of standards so we can continue to be trusted partners that individuals, employers, insurers and governments can count on.
 
Many of the actuarial associations around the world are producing and updating reports and data to help inform decisions in this very chaotic time. The IAA has created a webpage that consolidates links to much of this information. We plan to continually update the site and links, given the rapid pace of change, so you can have an extended source of information you can trust, and thus be better equipped to maneuver through these unchartered waters.
