Why is it important?
While the scale of operation of insurers is, by and large, acceptable, there is a considerable degree of managerial inefficiency among the insurers, with the least efficiency in 2000, and higher efficiency in 2004.
Perspectives
The insurers on average achieved a mere 0.8 percent annual gain in total factor productivity over the period in question.The results have policy implications for the regulators and managerial implications for the existing insurers to face the growing competition in the region.
