According to the Chairman of the ASA Mustafa ABBASBEYLI, Azerbaijan is developing a road map for the development of the insurance market, including an action plan for the development of all types of insurance.
Azeri insurance market in 2018 may set a new record by exceeding total GWP of AZN 700 million. During the whole year the market had been keeping its annual growth rate at the level of 30-40%. An insurance expert, the Chairman of the insurance intermediary committee of ASA Khayal MAMMADKHANLY believes the introduction of new compulsory types of insurance and increased supervision over existing ones can give a significant impetus to the development of the market. A significant contribution to the development of the insurance market can be also made by agricultural insurance in particular. The law on agricultural insurance in Azerbaijan has already been developed, and according to Mustafa ABBASBEYLI, if this law is adopted, this type of insurance can bring additional GWP of AZN 70-100 million to the market.
