Naperville, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/11/2013 -- The insurance industry in Mali is not very developed and accounts for less than 1% of the country’s total GDP. The Malian economy depends heavily on foreign aid and is vulnerable to fluctuations in world prices of cotton and gold. Around 70% of the population lives in rural areas, the majority of which lives below the poverty line. The combination of a significantly large rural population, high levels of poverty, a low literacy rate and the highly uneven distribution of income is hindering the growth of the insurance industry in the country. The key segment driving the overall Malian insurance industry is the non-life insurance segment, which accounts for more than 70% of the industry’s total gross premiums. The Malian insurance industry is under the regulation of the Conférence Internationale des Marché d’Assurances (CIMA).
