2013-03-10 17:47:05 - New Financial Services market report from Timetric: "The Insurance Industry in Burkina Faso, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017"

Burkina Faso has one of the smallest insurance industries in West Africa in terms of gross written premium. There were only 11 insurers and one reinsurance company operating in the country in 2011. Out of these 11, seven operated in the non-life insurance segment and four in the life insurance segment. The global financial crisis had an indirect effect on the Burkinabe insurance industry as Burkina Faso's economy is largely dependent on exports of cotton and gold. The financial crisis led to a decline in exports from the country, which negatively impacted its economy and had a knock-on effect on the Burkinabe insurance industry during the review period.

Key Highlights

* Insurance penetration as a percentage of GDP in Burkina Faso

is very low compared to the penetration rates in developed countries.
* The Burkinabe insurance industry comprises both domestic and foreign insurance companies.
* The country's liberalization policy has encouraged companies such as Allianz to enter into the market.
* Growth in Burkina Faso's construction sector, a governmental initiative designed to encourage private spending, growth in automobile sales and the tendency of the population to save supported the growth of Burkinabe insurance industry during the review period.
* Burkina Faso's construction market is expanding, which drove insurance industry growth during the review period and is expected to continue to support growth over the forecast period.
* Growth in construction was triggered by real estate development and the revival of infrastructure developments in the country.
