Licensed insurance companies in Laos (2026)
PartialPartially verified against the MoF register, checked 4 Sept 2026.
The 22 insurance companies licensed in Laos in 2026, as recorded by the Ministry of Finance (Insurance Dept) (MoF), with the class of business and ownership each one is registered under.
Snapshot
By class of business
Each company is counted once, under the class its register row records. The supervisor’s own tally counts licences, so a company licensed for more than one class appears more than once there.
By ownership
“Cross-border groups” counts foreign multinationals and pan-regional groups; “domestically owned” counts domestic private, state-owned, mutual and captive entities. The register records the parent’s type, not its home market. How ownership is recorded

Verification log
Reconciled against the insurance supervisor's own Annual Report 2020, whose annex lists the 22 insurance companies operating in Lao PDR, and its Annual Report 2021, which names the same 22: 6 rows matched, 16 companies added, 1 row removed ('Lao Insurance Co', which is on neither list), and Dhipaya's class corrected to composite. Nothing more recent than 2021 is published by the department, and the 2021 report records that new insurance-company registrations were suspended until 2025.
