    In essence, car insurance companies are basically paid by their customers to take on the risk of a car accident, damaging, or theft because most people do not have enough funds to cover such losses (Hussain). At their source, these companies make money from premiums that they are paid by customers and from earnings from investing those premiums (Hussain). By the same token, the main way in which auto insurance companies lose money is when their customers file a claim, which is sent to that company by a customer stating that their car has been damaged and that they would like for that company to cover the damage. At the end of the day, these three aspects of car insurance companies often determine if they succeed or not. Therefore, the driving force behind the success of auto insurance companies is their risk management in those three areas: in setting premiums, paying claims, and making…

    he insurance sector, until end-2000, was under the regulatory purview of the Federal Ministry of Commerce. During that period, the private sector insurance industry was fragmented and suffered from operational inefficiencies, lack of professionalism and low unacceptable ethical standards, while the public sector insurance companies enjoyed their privileged status and captive business. During the regulatory regime of the obsolete Insurance Act, 1938, the insurance industry was infested with various issues. Capital adequacy requirements for general insurance companies were grossly inadequate, registration/supervision fees for insurers were modest, and the statutory solvency margins were based on outdated principles. A new insurance law was introduced in 2000 when the Insurance Act, 1938 was replaced with the Insurance Ordinance, 2000. The new law primarily aimed to ensure the protection of insurance policyholders’ interest and to promote sound development of the insurance industry. In the year 2001, the regulatory/supervisory responsibilities of the insurance sector were shifted from the Ministry of Commerce to SECP. Though the insurance industry in Pakistan is highly under-developed relative to its potential, it has shown a promising growth in premiums over past few years, as shown in the table below:…

    established mainly through the initiative of a group of Bangladeshi professionals then working abroad along with a few enthusiastic local entrepreneurs, started its operation in December, 1986 after the Government of Bangladesh allowed the private sector to operate in the insurance sector in 1984 to carry on the business of insurance in the Private Sector. A brief explanation as to the growth of life insurance business in Bangladesh is in order here. Bangladesh declared independence from the Pakistani rules on March 26, 1971 following which she had to witness a bloody liberation struggle with the occupation forces lasting for 9 months before they were defeated. Insurance business which was exclusively carried on in private sector before independence was nationalized after liberation in 1972 primarily to address the emerging situation of eroding public confidence in the industry that was left staggeringly short of resources in the face of huge losses caused by the war of liberation. After a series of experimentation, a state-owned body, namely Jiban Bima Corporation (JBC), established in May, 1973 for transacting the life insurance business, took over the assets and liabilities under life portfolios of all erstwhile private insurance companies and started business in its own name. However, things did not improve; rather, in many respects became more exacerbating and the Government then thought it better to allow private sector participation in insurance business.…

    Fatalism tempered by pragmatism, therefore, can be regarded as recurring attributes of the insurance business in Pakistan, even from the very first green days of our Independence. When Pakistan was established in 1947, there were 77 insurance companies in all. Today there are 52. In 1947, 70 of those 77 companies were foreign companies and/or their branches. Today there are 10. The seven local companies have 47 years later become 42, and might have been more had 32 of them not been nationalised on March 18, 1972, when their life insurance business was brought into the public sector, and consolidated under the aegis of the State Life Insurance Corporation of Pakistan.…
