According to her, the insurance industry, like other components of the financial system, is changing in response to a wide range of global social and economic forces.

“In particular, insurance and insurance-linked financial activities are increasingly crossing national and sectorial boundaries,” she said.

“Consequently, it has become imperative for the Insurance supervisory systems and practices to continually upgrade in order to cope with these developments to mitigate possible financial and systemic stability concerns arising from the insurance sector as they emerge,” Ahmed added.

She stated further that insurance in the whole of Africa has been characterized by low penetration and poor contribution to most African countries financial growth, therefore maintaining efficient, fair, safe and stable insurance market in the West African sub region must be promoted for the benefit of the policyholders and other stakeholders.

“As an optimist, we are encouraged to believe in a new dawn, leveraging technological innovations, and a positive paradigm shift focused and poised to meet the anticipated surge in the demand and untapped side,” she said.

Ahmed urged the delegates to deliberate and recommend ways of repositioning the insurance industry in West Africa for Global Competitiveness.
