A.M Best Insurance Company is intended to open a branch office in Myanmar in 2015, said A.M Best CEO Dr. Roger Sellek in a meeting concerned with financial strength ratings on Friday held in Traders Hotel.
“When Myanmar’s Insurance Companies is
stronger in next two or three years, the company will be opened a branch
office to issue financial strength ratings. We are here to analyse
Myanmar’s market,” the CEO said.
The financial strength ratings are
important to compete with overseas companies and the local companies
will compete with incoming overseas companies after becoming Asean
communities. Besides, people will have faith over local companies,
Deputy Minister for Finance Dr. Maung Maung Thein said.
A.M Best Company is founded in 1899 and
the company started the financial strength ratings in 1906. It has
regional offices in London and Hong Kong and bureau offices in Dubai and
Miami. Myanmar Insurance Enterprise has allowed 12 private companies to

private companies.
