Opportunities and Challenges of Insurance Industry

1. Summary

This report will provide an overview of the Indonesian economy and society, detailed insight on opportunities and challenges in the Indonesian insurance industry information. We introduced the industry’s history with great development, and it main challenges will face in Indonesia. Regulations and capital requirements are challenges. Life sector and growing GDP provide tremendous potential. Other prosperous sectors such as trade and manufacturing also indirectly help.

It is clear. With Indonesia’s enormous natural resources, cheap labor and growing middle class, the potential is exceptional. If the challenges can be handled, the opportunities are too big to neglect. Indonesia and its insurance industry is absolutely attractive and I would recommend for future investments.

The report has limitations. This provides general overview of Indonesia based on limited data. Other challenges found but not discuss here are corruption, infrastructure and the legal system. All these are critical to Indonesian development. Indonesia seems to be slowly improving on all these issues. Anti-Corruption in Indonesia are rapidly increasing in range and intensity with more democratic society.

2. Introduction of Indonesia

The country of Indonesia stretches across more than 13,000 islands between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. With more than 220 million people, Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world, behind China, India, and the United States.
The islands of Indonesia were formed along a line where two continental plates meet on the ocean floor. The islands are highly volcanic. The soil around the volcanoes is rich in nutrients, and the rainy, tropical climate along the equator is ideal for farming. Indonesia’s rice paddies produce crops year-round, and other crops include soybeans, sugarcane, and peanuts as well as

    The promising growth opportunities in the Indonesian insurance market continue to attract new players, despite certain unfavorable government rules and regulations. The industry has registered a tremendous growth in the past few years, mainly due to untimely occurrence of natural and man-made disasters, launch of new products, growing economy and increasing demand for savings. Like many other countries, the Indonesian insurance industry can be categorized into two different segments: life and non-life. Life insurance is the dominate segment in the Indonesian insurance industry, with 68.3% share of total insurance premium in 2008.…

    Takaful Assignment

    The Takaful industry in Malaysia started to gain momentum when, in October 1982, the Malaysian government formed a special task force to explore the viability of setting up an Islamic insurance company. Out of that study and based on its recommendations, the Takaful Act 1984 was gazetted and came into force thereafter. At first glance, there does not appear to be much difference between conventional insurance and Takaful. Indeed, in terms of concept, there is none as both subscribe to the long established principle the “pool of the many to help the unfortunate few”. MTA is dedicated in promoting the interest of its members and to…

    Established in 1994, the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) represents insurance regulators and supervisors of some 190 jurisdictions in nearly 140 countries. The agency’s Insurance Core Principles (ICPs) provide a globally accepted framework for the supervision of the insurance sector. The ICPs apply to the supervision of all insurers whether private or government-controlled insurers that compete with private enterprises. In the case of Mauritius, there is the Insurance Act 2005 which is executed by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) with the primary aim of regulating the insurance business in the island. The Mauritian insurance industry has grown with assets amounting to Rs 95.9 bn for 21 insurance companies recording an increase of 8%. Its total gross premium has risen by 9% from Rs 17.5 bn in 2010 to Rs 19.2 bn in 2011. Forecasts from Statistics Mauritius and FSC show that the insurance industry contributes to 3.1% of the national GDP. In what ways does the Insurance Act 2005 (IA 2005) comply with the ICPs formulated by the IAIS?…

    “Regulations shape the Industry”. The development of the Takaful (or Islamic insurance) industry is very much dependent on its regulations and related guidelines. In many parts of the world Takaful is hardly visible as there are still subject to the Insurance Law. Only Malaysia has its own set of regulations. The first Takaful Act was promulgated in 1984 and recently was replaced by the Islamic Financial Services Act 2013. Even that many of the provisions of the Act and related guidelines are similar to that of insurance.…

    The world is getting smaller, just as a California poppy grows smaller as it closes in on itself every night. The flower grows closer together by drawing its petals inward so that they become much closer to the rest of the petals. The poppy does this to protect its pollen. The world is getting smaller and growing closer together due to globalization. Globalization is the rising of the global economy. As more and more markets trade with each other, countries become more and more drawn to other countries—countries that have resources they need or want. Nowadays, nothing is too far away. A business man or women could go from one side of the world to the other in a matter of hours! Because of this globalization is rising. There are many countries that are helping globalization come to full bloom; however, there aren’t helping. One of them is Indonesia. Indonesia has more problems than are permissible for a country to have, who wants to contribute to Globalization. Indonesia has too many disadvantages for it to be of any significant use to others in the world. Such disadvantages include: pollution in both people and the land, and climate change greatly affecting the nation.…

    Takaful Case Study

    • 1409 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The word takaful is derived from Arabicver Kafala‟, which means to guarantee, looking after, to help and to take care of one’s needs. Takaful is a system of Islamic insurance based on the principles of „ta‟awun‟ (mutual assistance) and „tabarru‟‟ (voluntary contribution). The conventional insurance contract binds the insured to pay certain number of premiums otherwise the paid premiums are forfeited. The poor insured suffers double loss i.e. one due to the circumstances, which make him unable to pay further, and secondly, the insurer takes away his hard earned premiums which he has paid so far. Thus, the operating activities of Takaful operators are not straight forward and simple, compared to the conventional counterpart... Thus, the objectives of this case study are to highlight the current issues in Takaful industry and Life insurance to provide the recommendation for future. The contemporary issues in Takaful…
