Insurance
From The Report: Malaysia 2012
View in Online Reader

Malaysia’s insurance sector, which saw premiums rise by nearly 15% in 2011, is growing in tandem with the country’s economic development. The sector saw a wave of mergers and acquisitions for conventional insurers in recent years as regulators imposed a risk-based capital (RBC) framework. Now, with the application of RBC to takaful firms, the Islamic insurance sector is expected to consolidate as well. Other regulatory changes – the rising cap on motor insurance tariffs, potential liberalisation in the health sector – could boost the sector as well. Overall, Malaysia’s middle-income status and relatively low levels of penetration bode well for insurance growth in the medium to long term.
This chapter includes an interview with Hans de Cuyper, Etiqa Insurance & Takaful.

HANS DE CUYPER: The key question following the implementation of the new framework within the next three years will be how the takaful (Islamic insurance) industry will position itself against the conventional insurance sector.
