Concluding Remarks
As per the Economic survey report 2018/19 by Ministry of finance Insurance industry contributes 2.04% to GDP in Nepal. This industry is facing a lot of criticism as compared to other industry due to less number of people involving in insurance business. Most of the people are unaware about insurance and even educated people are reluctant to buy insurance policy. Most of the people under estimate 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.
Himalayan General Insurance Company Limited is an established and experienced insurance company with 25 years of operation with paid up capital of Rs.1.02 billion. As of unaudited report of Q4 2075/76, the company has made positive growth in most of the fundamentals but couldn’t increase the no. of policies which have caused the lack of competitive advantage. However, the company seems eligible to become one of the best in its sector.
