Located in the south-western section of the Indo-Chinese Peninsula, Cambodia is bordered by Thailand, Laos and Vietnam.
High demand for garment exports and tourism, external investment, and a construction boom sustained real GDP growth averaging 7.7% from 2000 to 2019. The non-life market, including personal accident and health written by non-life companies, has continued to enjoy positive growth higher than that of GDP from 2015-2020 but remains small in worldwide terms. Growth has been accompanied and/or driven by new market entrants in recent years, both amongst insurers and brokers.
Property is the most significant P&C class of business, with motor seen as a good prospect for further sustainable development.
Most distribution is through in-house sales forces, direct client contact or, increasingly, by bank referral. There were in 2020 some 15 licensed brokers operating from none six years earlier, though these have much more influence in the non-life market than in life distribution.
The social security system (National Social Security Fund - NSSF) since 1 January 2018 applies to all employers regardless of numbers of employees, offering healthcare and occupational accident or disease benefits (medical care, permanent total and temporary total disability, and survivor benefits). The pensions and unemployment elements are not yet operational.
