The Government's plans to promote the industry are laudable. Nevertheless, we doubt that tax incentives or spectacular natural disasters will, by themselves, spur development of non-life insurance. The main constraints on the development of non-life insurance in Indonesia have been the low income levels of most of the population and the fragmentation of the industry

Indonesia will have to go through a reasonably long period of stability in its capital markets before commentators will begin seriously to consider the opportunities in the life segment.

Indeed, it would seem that many of the world's largest insurers are prepared to overlook the deficiencies of Indonesia's legal system in general and bankruptcy laws in particular, which gave rise to many problems for Manulife in previous years. One obvious conclusion is that the large cross-border groups often see Indonesia as a market that, at some stage in the future, could be too large to ignore.

As is the case in Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia, local groups feature prominently in the non-life segment, although none appear to have particularly dominant positions.
