GENERAL INSURANCE INDUSTRY - The Economic Times
SEARCHED FOR:Insurance companies see a growth path in ecommerce, fintech embedded modelsEmbedded insurance is expanding in ecommerce and fintech, with payment and online retail platforms bundling protection for merchants. Startups like Riskcovry and Assurekit leverage data analytics to offer customised products, addressing risks like return-to-origin and fraudulent orders, and improving premium pricing.12 May, 2026, 06:00 AM ISTThese large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of up to 28%There are two ways to deal with the kind of uncertainty the US-Iran war has brought to the stock market. First, you could just sit it out and let the situation clear up. This not only means that you stop buying, but also selling. The reason why we are talking about selling is because even the most rational minds get jittery when they see their portfolio value coming down every day and sense that “fear” is the overwhelming emotion on the street. And this fear might persist on the street for some time. There is, of course, another option.11 May, 2026, 11:06 PM ISTCurb your overenthusiasm: Why India must avoid early overregulation while drafting rules for new techIndia faces a critical choice in regulating new industries like AI and genomics. Overly cautious, ex-ante regulations, similar to the historical Red Flag Act, can stifle innovation and lead to economic losses. The country must adopt flexible approaches like regulatory sandboxes and impact assessments. This will determine if India builds these future industries or exports them elsewhere.10 May, 2026, 11:01 PM ISTSecular, cyclical or war-dependent: A ratio to tell you what kind of growth you are buying. 6 stocks with upside potential of up to 29%Some valuation ratios are used because they are easy. The PE ratio is one of them. It is simple, familiar, and convenient. Not only for the buyer but also for the market participant who is selling that narrative. But markets are rarely simple. A PE ratio tells an investor what the market is paying for a company’s earnings. It does not tell you whether those earnings are growing fast enough, whether growth is durable, or whether the current earnings are close to a cyclical peak. That is why, in many cases, PE is only the first question. It is not the answer.10 May, 2026, 06:51 AM ISTWest Bengal’s Delhi wall may disappear: What schemes could BJP rule in Kolkata unlock?West Bengal's long-standing political clashes with the central government over welfare sc...
Fledging Insurance Industry Primed For Big Changes Under New ...
A draft amendment to the Insurance Business Proclamation proposes to end the provision of general and long-term insurance services under one license. The draft also promises to address long-standing calls for autonomous regulation from insurers by establishing the Ethiopian Insurance Regulatory Authority, and marks the industry as next for liberalization as part of ongoing economic reforms. If ratified by Parliament, the proclamation would bar an insurer holding a standard insurance business license from engaging in business as a reinsurance provider. Similarly, an insurer would require a separate license to offer Takaful insurance services. Under the terms of the draft, these licenses would be granted by the Ethiopian Insurance Regulatory Authority, which is slated to take over as industry regulator from the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE).- Advertisement - The NBE has regulated the nascent insurance industry for three decades, alongside banks, microfinance institutions, reinsurance, and lease financing. Insurers have long argued the NBE’s focus on banking growth has stifled their own. The authority proposed in the amendment will be led by a seven-member board, which will include representatives from the NBE and Ethiopian Capital Market Authority, and will be responsible for issuing licenses and enforcing compliance. The draft also proposes to open the insurance industry to foreign investment, following up on liberalization under the Banking Business Proclamation of early 2025. If approved, foreign insurers will be able to establish a partially or fully owned subsidiary in Ethiopia, as well as acquire shares in existing Ethiopian insurers.- Advertisement - The draft limits “strategic” foreign investors to 40 percent of an insurer’s subscribed shares, while “non-strategic” foreign nationals can own up to 10 percent of shares. Foreign nationals and foreign-owned Ethiopian organizations fully owned by foreign nationals shall invest in an insurer only through foreign direct investment in foreign currency.- Advertisement - The Authority may, on the application of a foreign reinsurer, grant a license for the establishment by the foreign reinsurer of a representative office in Ethiopia, according to the draft. It also features several provisions related to mergers and acquisitions in the insurance industry, including one granting the Authority the power to step in and enforce a statutory merger to “rescue problem insurers and/or to create a more viable and stron...
