Group 4: Future Directions - The life insurance industry must understand and master the "new life insurance" model, design and implement pilot projects, and create comprehensive strategic plans to ensure the scientific and feasible implementation of this model [15][16]. - The unique nature of life insurance operations necessitates strong capital management and risk control capabilities to address the dual challenges of the liability and investment sides [16][20]. - The insurance industry plays a crucial role in promoting economic growth and optimizing resource allocation, and enhancing insurance adaptability is key to achieving sustainable development [20][21].
