Kathmandu. The business sector of Nepal Reinsurance Company (Nepal Reinsurance), which has 44 percent stake in the government, is going to be stronger and broader in the coming days. KATHMANDU: Finance Minister Dr Swarnim Wagle’s latest strategic proposal has given a big boost to the Nepal-Rico trade, which has been shrunk due to aggressive marketing of the private sector reinsurance company Himalayan Reinsurance (Himalayan Re) and some policy changes in the past. <\/p>\n
On May 29, Finance Minister Wagle presented the fiscal year 2083 in the parliament. Its business is expected to grow at a high rate after the proposal was put forward to ensure Nepal-RICO business without competition through the budget and policy reform plan of 84 years. <\/p>\n
The government has chosen the path of policy protection to restore the market share of Nepal Ricoh, which had shrunk somewhat with the arrival of the private sector reinsurer Himalayan Rico. Under this, Finance Minister Wagle has proposed to revive the old system of making it mandatory for domestic and local insurance companies to pay 20 percent of their total business to the reinsurance company Nepal. This policy is sure to make a huge financial contribution to the company’s business immediately. <\/p>\n
Nepal Relay, which had a 20 percent mandatory reinsurance monopoly in the past, lost a large market share after the entry of Himalayan Rico. After the regulatory body Nepal Insurance Authority distributed the 20 percent quota to both the companies (10 percent each) and the open market policy was implemented, the income and business size of the insurance company decreased significantly. <\/p>\n
<\/strong>{TAG_CLOSE_span_18}}<\/p>\n }<\/p>\n The government has proposed to expand the business scope of Nepal Rico beyond the traditional insurance sector to the government and large social security funds. According to the new policy, reinsurance will also be made mandatory for Employees Provident Fund, Citizen Investment Trust, Social Security Fund and Health Insurance Board. <\/p>\n Apart from this, the government has proposed that the management of the collective insurance pool, which bears the long-term liability, be given to Nepal Ri. This will also include the management of the Foreign Employment Temporary Insurance Risk Management Group Fund (POOL), which is currently being managed by Himalayan Relay. <\/p>\n The size of both the insurance risk and the insurance premium of Nepal Relay will be huge if the financial risk and health protection of billions of rupees mobilized by these funds and the board are brought under the ambit of reinsurance. <\/p>\n If the reinsurance proposals proposed by the government are passed by the parliament, it will be easier for Nepal to return to business in the coming days. Government officials believe that the overall financial sector will be safe and stable if the company ‘accepts’ the risk of large government funds within the country. <\/p>\n Insurance experts believe that due to the government’s latest ‘policy protection’, the business graph and market share of Nepal Ricoh which had shrunk in the past will be revived and it will play a big role in stopping the capital outflow within the country. However, if the government over-centralizes the risk of Nepal REEMA through policy arrangements, it will have a negative impact not only for Nepal REA but also for the entire insured if a disaster occurs simultaneously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kathmandu.
