Abstract

This report describes the activities of insurance companies operating in Nigeria in 1985. Among the topics covered are the number and type, ownership structure, income and expenditure and the relative performance of the insurance companies. Their sources and application of funds, loss and expense ratios are also discussed by class of insurance. The report, which ends with a discussion of the assets -of the insurance companies, observes that operating costs rose in the companies during the review period, and traces the source of the increased costs to higher costs in the life insurance companies run by indigenous insurers.
