Top 25 World Insurance Companies

Life Insurance

 

Although the worst of the 2008 financial crisis has passed, the insurance industry still faces numerous challenges in 2010. A weak economy is limiting growth opportunities and making capital preservation an ongoing priority for many companies.

Because of these pressures, insurers continue to closely monitor their people, processes, systems, and markets in order to find competitive advantages. In the midst of this, they also face potentially major changes to accounting standards, capital requirements, and regulation that may affect their business for years to come.
The good news for consumers? In a competitive environment, insurance industry players have to lower their premiums and offer better coverage and policies.
