Concluding Remarks
As per the Economic survey report 2018/19 by Ministry of finance, Insurance industry contributes 2.04% to GDP in Nepal with market penetration of just 18%. This industry is facing a lot of criticism as compared to other industry. Most of the people are unaware about insurance and even educated people are reluctant to buy insurance policy. Most of the people underestimate the return of insurance and lacks knowledge how insurance protects an individual financially. If companies can convince their customers about the risk and reward of their policies, they can do better in this emerging economy. Surya Life Insurance Company Limited is an established insurer in Life Insurance sector with 13,304 agents and 245 employees and presence in 72 locations. Most of the fundamentals seems to in a stable position and has potential to become one of the best in its sector.
