Growing Frontiers in Insurance Business
Insurance business is growing at a very fast pace in Asia and is expected to increase even further over the next decade. This could be further driven by tapping relatively uncharted territory like insurance for infrastructure projects including Construction and Erection All Risks (CEAR/CAR), Engineering Procurement Construction and Commissioning (EPCC), Delay in Start Up (DSU), Third Party Liability (TPL), Contractor’s Plant and Equipment (CPE), Workmen’s Compensation, Professional Indemnity, Employer’s Liability, Environment Impairment Liability, Business Interruption, Mechanical or Electrical Failure etc. While these could be areas of consideration for general insurance companies, life insurers can look at investing long term funds in Alternative Investment Vehicles that are set up for infrastructure development.
