There are life insurance and non-life insurance companies in Nepal. 50 percent of the companies are new, and a handful of international insurance companies have involved in the Nepal insurance market. Although the insurance market is very tough some best insurance company in Nepal are doing very well as we analyze their financial data their profit has been dramatically rising since the last 10years.
The first challenge for the top insurance company in Nepal is that many Nepalese people live below the poverty line and have no access to private insurance.
Another problem for insurance companies in Nepal is that people usually do not know about insurance benefits, even if they have the capacity to pay the premium not willing to insurer themselves.
On the other hand, non-life insurance companies also have a similar fate, people only insured their vehicles even though companies offer many options, including house insurance, business insurance, etc.
The Nepal Insurance Board is the regulatory body that proposes, tabulates, and enforces insurance policies for all insurance companies. Only the old company managed to hit the top insurance company in Nepal.
