Research and Markets: Vietnam Insurance Report Q1 2012: Under-Developed Insurance Market That is Growing Extremely Rapidly

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cade66/vietnam_insurance) has announced the addition of the "Vietnam Insurance Report Q1 2012" report to their offering.

In the context of Southeast Asia and generally, Vietnam stands out as a small and under-developed insurance market that is growing extremely rapidly. It is patently open to access by foreign insurers, many of whom see the country as a natural extension of their regional (or global) footprints. Relative to other countries in the region, the life segment is not dominated by one or two local titans. Life agency channels are being expanded rapidly. Some players are focusing on bancassurance opportunities. In the non-life segment, the government is promoting the development of export credit insurance - a very new line in Vietnam. As far as BMI can see, the Vietnamese non-life companies have shown more discipline than have their counterparts in other countries in the region. The motor-related lines - so often unprofitable and thankless for non-life insurers in emerging markets only account for about one third of the premiums written in Vietnam's non-life segment.
