Governing legislation

  • Insurance Business Law 6/96; Insurance Business Rules 1997 · Institutional and insurance framework

    The Financial Regulatory Department’s insurance division explains the licensing and supervision framework under the 1996 law and 1997 rules.

Verification log

The Financial Regulatory Department publishes only a count: 27 licensed insurance companies including state-owned Myanma Insurance as at March 2023, broken down in February 2024 as 17 life (5 wholly foreign-owned, 3 joint-venture, 9 citizen-owned) and 9 general (3 joint-venture, 6 citizen-owned) plus Myanma Insurance. No list of licensees is published anywhere on frd.gov.mm, so no row other than Myanma Insurance could be checked by name; the 16 rows here are about eleven companies short of the supervisor's count.
