Key Highlights

• The Cameroonian insurance industry is small, underdeveloped and largely dominated by non-life insurance companies. There were 21 insurers authorized to conduct business as of 2014, of which six were life insurers and 15 were non-life insurers. • Life was the second-largest segment in the industry in gross written premium terms. Factors such as the low unemployment rate and implementation of VAT accounted for its growth. • A large low-income population and insufficient knowledge remain barriers for healthcare products. Community-based health insurance (CBHI) is promoted by the government and has been growing since 2005. • Bad weather created a demand for index-based insurance products in the agricultural sector. For instance; area yield index insurance and crop weather index insurance are used by small-scale farmers. • Cameroon is facing political instability because of Boko Haram which is impacting the country's economy. Tourism, FDI and trade have all been affected.
