The review was conducted as part of the 2015 financial sector assessment program (FSAP) in Mali. The main objectives of the review are to assess the structure, performance, and outlook of the insurance sector with respect to the potential for the sector to develop; and to contribute to the overall long term growth and development of the economy and the well-being of the country's population. The insurance market in Mali falls short of its potential today; however, its outlook is promising. This technical note looks at two questions: what role does the insurance sector play in Mali today?, and how can it play a more significant role? It highlights the potential of micro insurance and agriculture insurance in particular, and concludes with a number of recommendations.application/pdftext/plainCC BY 3.0 IGOhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/World BankINCOME HOUSEHOLDSDEFICITFINANCIAL SERVICESCAPITAL MARKETSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKLIABILITYECONOMIC GROWTHINSURANCE SUPERVISORSRISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIESINCOMEINTERESTLIFE INSURANCEMARKET SIZESLAWSSUSTAINABILITYFINANCIAL RESOURCESPROGRAMSLIQUIDITYINFORMATIONLIVESTOCK INSURANCEHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH CAREPORTFOLIOMARKET SIZEMARKET SHARESINCENTIVESCAPACITY BUILDINGCREDITWORTHINESSPRICINGMODELSCOMMITMENT DEVICEBORROWERSWEATHER INSURANCEDAMAGESPRICECASH TRANSFERABSENCE OF INSURANCEBENEFICIARIESSUPPLY SIDEHURRICANESINSURANCE MARKETMICROFINANCE INSTITUTIONSINSURANCE COMPANYECONOMIC ACTIVITYINSURANCE EXPERTSWITHDRAWALSCROP INSURANCESAVINGSMARKET DEVELOPMENTFINANCIAL LOSSFEASIBILITYCOSTS OF INSURANCEINSURANCE MARKETSINSURANCE PRODUCTACCESS TO INSURANCEECONOMIC TRANSACTIONSFINANCESACCOUNTING RULESINSURANCE PAYOUTINSURANCE TRANSACTIONMARKETSCAPITAL REQUIREMENTSFINANCIAL PRODUCTSINSURERSIMPORTSCONVENTIONAL INSURANCERESERVESFINANCIAL SYSTEMCASH TRANSFERSINSURANCE COVERAGEINSURANCE POLICYREAL ESTATEFINANCETAXESBROKERSTRANSACTIONSINSURANCESINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSREINSURANCECONSUMPTIONREGULATIONSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKSGOODFRAUDINSURANCE COVERINSURANCE PRODUCTSFINANCIAL CRISISFUTUREVALUECLAIM PAYMENTRETURNSINSURANCE LAWINSURANCE ASSOCIATIONAGRICULTURAL INSURANCECLIMATEDEMANDMICROINSURANCENATIONAL INCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONCONSUMERSINVESTMENT VEHICLESINSURANCE CONTRACTINSURANCE INDUSTRYTAX RATESINSURANCE REGULATIONSHARESMICRO-INSURANCEINSURANCE PREMIUMACTUARIESMARKETFINANCIAL LOSSESREGULATIONSET ASIDEPOLICYSOLVENCYINSURANCE BROKERSINSURANCEINSURANCE PREMIUMSMICROFINANCEINVESTMENT STRATEGIESINTERESTSSECURITYINVESTMENTRISKHUMAN RESOURCESINVESTMENT PORTFOLIOSHARECOLLATERALPOVERTYTREATYSUPPLYUNDERWRITINGINSURANCE SECTORLAWPROFITINVESTMENTSRISK MANAGEMENTCOST OF INSURANCEINSURANCE COMPANIESARBITRAGEFINANCIAL SECTORINSURANCE FRAUDARREARSINCREASED INSURANCE COVERAGECOVERAGEINSURANCE SUPERVISIONGUARANTEECONSUMER PROTECTIONBENEFITSMICROFINANCE INSTITUTIONReport
