Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/19/2013 -- Turkey has one of the fastest-growing emerging economies in the world. Economic reforms in the country in 2001 led to a resurgence in economic activities in subsequent years, as Turkish GDP registered an average growth of 5.0% from 2002 to 2012. Steady economic growth facilitated the expansion of the industry in the country which grew at a review-period CAGR of 12.6%. The low penetration rate of 0.23%, coupled with favorable demographic factors, attracted several foreign companies into the Turkish life segment. Stable economic growth, ongoing regulatory reforms and enhanced distribution channels will drive growth over the forecast period.
