General Insurance Business in Bangladesh - SBC

Executive Summary Peoples life, livelihood and properties are always risky because any kind of uncertain event can happen anytime which can cause unexpected losses. The process of insurance has been evolved to safeguard the interest of people from uncertainty by providing certainty payment at a given contingency. It provides indemnification against losses arising from the happening of some uncertain events. Insurance plays an important role in modern business and commerce. It stimulates expansion of trade operation to a very great extent for some consideration named premium and provides opportunity to businessmen to develop sense of independence and security from anxiety. The insurance market in Bangladesh now consists of two state owned corporations: Sadharan Bima Corporation and Jibon Bima Corporation, Forty-three non-life private insurance companies, sixteen private life insurance companies and one foreign life insurance company; a total of 62 insurance companies. Thus the insurance sector in Bangladesh has grown substantially and depended remarkable with number of companies in both life and non-life segments with the expansion of size of the insurance market, the value of assets of the industry has also been increased substantially. The general insurance includes property insurance, liability insurance and other forms of insurance. Sadharan Bima Corporation stands as insurer of public sector assets on its own behalf and also on behalf of private sector general insurance companies and also playing a role of national reinsurance to the reinsurance industry. It also contributes to the GDP of our country but it is still in a primary stage. Though limited but contributes of insurance business in the economic development of the country are very important. The premiums collected by SBC play a major role in building up national capital. This sort of capital can increase overall production by investing in different sectors. Compare to other countries in the subcontinent the progress of general insurance business is very slow. Various problems, obstacles and peoples lack of knowledge and concepts regarding insurance are making the progress of this business slow. Though having many problems on behalf of general insurance business in Bangladesh, Sadharan Bima Corporation has continued and also is continuing its business with increasing growth rate which helps the development of national economy.

2.1 Insurance Background of Bangladesh
Insurance is not a new idea or proposition to the people of Bangladesh. About half a century back, during the British regime in the then India, some insurance companies started insurance business, particularly life, in this part of the world. Since 1947 until 1971 insurance business gained momentum in this part of what was then known as East Pakistan. There were about 49 companies transacting both life and general insurance business. These companies were operating under a free competitive economy. After the emergence of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh in 1971, the government, in order to make available the fruit of liberation to the general mass, nationalized the insurance industry along with the banks in 1972 by Presidential Order No. 95. By virtue of this order, save and accept postal life insurance and foreign life insurance companies (other than the Pakistani companies), all companies and organization transacting all types of insurance business in Bangladesh came under this nationalization order. At the same time, five insurance corporations were initially established by the Government, viz, Jatiya Bima Corporation (National Insurance Corporation), Teesta Bima Corporation (Teesta Insurance Corporation), Karnaphuli Bima Corporation (Karnaphuli Insurance Corporation), Rupsa Jiban Bima Corporation (Rupsa Life Insurance Corporation), Surma Jiban Bima Corporation (Surma Life Insurance Corporation). On 14th May, 1973 the Insurance Corporation Act VI, 1973 was enacted under which the previous five corporations were abolished and the following two corporations emerged: 1. Sadharan Bima Corporation for General Insurance and, 2. Jiban Bima Corporation for Life Insurance in Bangladesh.

Suggestions

For modern services it should use computerized systems in every department. This organization can create more policy holders by publicity and advertisement. It can make its laws and principles easier for the policy holders. Finally we can say that, Sadharan Bima Corporation helps the insurances to minimize their different business risk. After all, in modern insurance system, Sadharan Bima Corporation, by increasing the number of policy holders, is not only reducing financial risk of policy holders, but also by reducing their risk, it is earning more profit. Insurance is a recent idea for Bangladesh and we have many problems in our economy like lack of capital, unfavorable commercial position, lack of savings etc. So Sadharan Bima Corporation should create more publicity among the insurances, give training facilities to the employees, and more efficient management system. If government also gives more attention to Sadharan Bima Corporation, then it will contribute to our economy.
