Kathmandu. The insurance sector has emerged as a strong and reliable pillar in the financial system of Nepal. The latest statistics made public by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) and Nepal Insurance Authority (NIA) show that the share of insurance sector in the national financial structure has increased significantly. <\/p>\n
Currently, the contribution of insurance sector to the total assets and liabilities of the total financial system of Nepal is 7.6 percent. Which is very encouraging compared to a decade ago. The growing effectiveness of the insurance sector is evident from the presence of other non-banking financial institutions such as the Employees Provident Fund and Citizen Investment Trust. <\/p>\n
According to the Economic Survey report of the last three fiscal years published by the Ministry of Finance, the contribution of the insurance sector to the national financial system was 7.3 percent in mid-January 2080, 7.8 percent in mid-January 2081 and 7.6 percent in mid-January 2082. <\/p>\n
This sector has become a major source of capital markets, especially due to the long-term savings and investment mobilized by life insurance companies. Fiscal Year 2081. By the end of 1982, the size of the life insurance fund has crossed Rs 800 billion. This is also bigger than the annual development budget of the Government of Nepal. If the current growth rate (average annual growth rate of 14.62 percent) continues, the fund is expected to nearly double to Rs 1.5 trillion in the next five years. <\/p>\n
Insurance companies have started mobilizing the huge capital they have collected in the construction of productive sectors and infrastructure. This has also helped reduce the burden of credit flow that depends solely on the banking system. If the current growth rate continues, the insurance sector will be the largest long-term capital provider to Nepal’s economy in the next few years. <\/p>\n
The growing depth of the insurance sector in the financial system is also illustrated by its gross domestic product (GDP) ratio. Currently, the contribution of insurance premium to GDP has reached 3.72 percent, while the policy of merger and capital increase has further strengthened the financial capacity of the companies. <\/p>\n
As Nepal’s insurance sector is on an upward trajectory, its contribution to the asset base of the financial system is increasing. The collection of insurance premiums is progressing at a rapid pace. The capital fund and insurance fund are becoming stronger, and their role as a long-term capital operator is gradually acceptable. <\/p>\n
The insurance sector is emerging as one of the most important but still undervalued pillars of Nepal’s financial system for an economy eager to reduce dependence on remittances, mobilize infrastructure investment, and deepen capital markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
