Across Asia, persistent inflation, material shortages and supply chain volatility are creating unprecedented pressures on large-scale construction projects. Steel, concrete, copper, timber and specialist components are experiencing sharp price swings and delivery delays, straining budgets, schedules and contingency planning. These disruptions increase exposure to cost escalation, schedule slippage, Delay in Start-Up (DSU) and Additional Loss of Profit (ALOP) losses, design modifications and contractual disputes – challenges that test the limits of traditional insurance programs, risk transfer structures and claims defensibility.

This session examines how inflationary and supply chain risks are reshaping the insurance landscape for megaprojects across Asia. Attendees will explore how insurers are assessing and pricing these emerging exposures, strategies to recalibrate risk transfer and coverage structures and practical tools that owners and contractors can deploy – from robust contractual mechanisms and early risk governance to scenario modelling and data-driven claims preparedness – to mitigate financial volatility and protect project viability.
