Cambodian insurance industry has 'substantial potential for growth'


7 August 2014

Nascent insurance markets in Cambodia, Cuba and Myanmar offer "significant opportunities" to foreign insurers. Dallas praised Cambodia's "bold economic reforms and economic liberalisation" since 2000.

It noted that the non-life insurance segment established in 2003 had grown rapidly during its initial phase of development, generating premiums of $35.6 million in 2012. The local insurance industry has "substantial potential for growth" and is expected to become a $200 million industry by 2023, noting that six non-life insurers were operating in Cambodia as of May. As for life insurance, the company recalled that the establishment of the state-owned Cambodian Life Insurance Company in 2012 was followed by the entry of Canadian life insurer Manulife and Prudential of the United States.

Cambodia is an "attractive investment opportunity for multinational insurers," it concluded, adding that more were expected to enter the market over the next five years.
