Your sights are firmly set on
steering your business in the right
direction, getting new contracts
under your belt, achieving growth
and increasing profits. The
continuous expansion of world
trade demands that your business
must be increasingly competitive,
notwithstanding a steady stream of
economic and political difficulties.
Prospects for increasing business
can be significant, but bring with it
a variety of operational and
financial risks, including
constraints on working capital,
unacceptable concentrations of
accounts receivable and payment
defaults.

In the modern business

environment your clients ask
you for credit terms so you
need to give credit terms. At
the same time, there are greater
concentrations of risks and
increases in failures. The Client
Account is the only account not
covered in your balance sheet.
Are your customers going to
pay you? Are they going to be
bankrupt? There could be a host
of reasons for non-payment, and
the loss of a large payment may
spell disaster for your business,
whatever the prudence and
competence exercised. On the
other hand, too cautious an
attitude in evaluating risk and
selecting buyers may result in loss
of hard-to-get business
opportunities.

recruitment; the diploma holders do not get opportunity for campus

them, hence the employment in officers cadre from those diploma holders
are very rare.
Non-life Insurance Fast Gaining Prominence In Asia

30th September,
Source: Financial Express

Non-life insurance markets in China and India are fast gaining importance in
the Asian region, the latest Swiss Re sigma study has concluded.

The study, titled "Asia's non-life insurance markets", has forecast a positive
outlook for non-life insurance in Asia, asserting that the outbreak of the
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (Sars) early in 2003 had only
temporarily dampened market growth.

At the same time, the study observed, the corporate landscape and
competitive behaviour in the insurance industry were changing fast. After a
break in 2001, growth rates in the non-life insurance business resumed their
faster pace. Premia rose across the region with strong growth recorded in
most emerging markets. It expected growth to substantially exceed that of
most OECD markets. Nonetheless, it added, weak stock markets in 2001 and
2002 had taken their toll on insurers' capital bases, thus reinforcing the need
to focus on underwriting quality.

According to the study, deregulation and phase-out of state ownership were

fast reshaping the insurance landscape, and the industry would see further
consolidation in the coming years. This would lead to more concentrated and
polarised markets. State-owned insurers were still a significant force in Asia -
accounting for over a fourth of the premiums outside Japan, while foreign
insurers - though making up some 40 per cent of all insurers - had only a 10
per cent market share. Nevertheless, foreign insurers were poised to take on
a more active role in the development of the region's insurance business
over the medium to longer term, despite recent reticence in business
expansion.
NIA-Indian Assurance Even In Japan

Japan is the 2nd largest non-life insurance market in the world, after the
USA. There are 32 Japanese companies and 21 foreign companies
operating in Japan. The market share of 21 foreign companies is just over
4.5%. There is only one company that has kept the flag of the Indian and
Asian insurance industry high for more than 5 decades in the highly
competitive market- The New India Assurance Co. Ltd.

One of the major business operations of the company in Japan is to assist

the Indian office in procuring business emanating from Japanese companies
that undertake projects in India. New India Japan is approached by not only
Japanese companies but also by Japanese insurance companies whose
clients are in the process of acquiring interest in India, for guidance.

Its gross premium income in 2002-03 was Yen 3.8 billion (Rs.153 crore),
which was 15 percent higher than the previous year. The company made a
profit around Yen 40 million (Rs.1.64 crore) during the year, all this despite
a nearly zero growth and zero interest economy and continuing recession
in Japan.

New India writes all classes of traditional non-life insurance business and
more than 95% of its business is derived from Japanese clients through its
agents network.
