Canada insurer Sun Life Asia has released the 3rd Financial Resilience Index – 1) Top 5 issues are day-to-day expenses, building emergency funds, children’s education, saving for retirement & paying debts, 2) Top 5 increased costs on essential spending are groceries, utilities, transport fuel, cooking fuel & healthcare, 3) Top 3 actions are reducing non-essential spending 56%, improving financial knowledge 31% & investing to increase returns 31%. Announcement (9/6/26): “Sun Life Asia today released its third Financial Resilience Index: Asia navigates rising costs, revealing new insights into the impact of the cost-of-living crisis across the region. As high inflation continues to impact the global economy, this year’s report shows that rising living costs are putting sustained pressure on families, weakening financial resilience and leaving households less prepared for the future. Budgets are significantly strained, with more than eight in ten people surveyed (83%) saying inflation has made it harder to cover their monthly costs.” David Broom, Chief Client and Distribution Officer at Sun Life Asia: “What stands out this year is not just the scale of cost pressure but how it is changing financial behaviour. Rising living costs are forcing people to rethink how they manage their money on a day-to-day basis, with the price of food, fuel, and household bills placing increasing pressure on budgets. As a result, many people are becoming more focused on short-term financial decisions, and that shift is starting to affect their financial resilience. As financial decisions become more short-term, the risk is that people lose sight of longer- term outcomes. Even with more access to information and tools, navigating complex financial decisions still requires guidance. This is where professional financial advice continues to play an important role in helping people turn short-term choices into long-term plans.” View report here
