    Tough life ahead for life insurers in 2009 - The Economic Times headline says it all.... what is your opinion?

    ---------------------------------------------


    IndianInsurance Opinion:

    Indian Insurance Industry with all the progress and growth achieved post-IRDA, it can still be considered nascent and in infancy. Considering the ongoing credit crisis affecting many domestic insurance companies in India, for the Indian Insurance industry to sustain a healthy growth rate, consolidation through Mergers & Acquisition (M&A) is the only viable route going forward. I am however not certain how this would play out, but M&A and capital fortification separated on the lines of public sector insurance companies and private sector insurance could be one of the many scenarios.

    If the Asian tiger economies of India & China will be last growth engines for the post-credit crisis world, the Indian Insurance industry will sure ride the wave going forward. Let us wait and watch and hope for the best.
