BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Pakistan: Insurance market ready for increase in takaful, says official

September 04, 2014 Reprints

Pakistan’s insurance industry is ready for a boost in competition after the country’s Securities and Exchange Commission recently permitted conventional insurers to offer takaful, reported Reuters.

SECP official Faraz Uddin Amjad said the regulator is finalizing 10 takaful applications and has already granted two licenses. SECP expects around 20 to 25 new takaful operators to start operating, Mr. Amjad said. The official added that the takaful sector accounts for around 5% of the overall insurance market, but that percentage is likely to increase in the future.
