9,3 Billion Syrian Pounds, the Insurance Installments in Syria

The Syrian private insurance companies have promised to hire about 3200 persons by the end of this year. Those companies with only two years in the market allocated last year nearly 4 billion Syrian Pounds as insurance installments , the large part of it were in the sector of health insurance which grew by 208%, followed by the sector of life insurance which witnessed a growth estimated at 625 compared to last year.
This indicates that the insurance awareness has started to spread among the Syrian public, and that the interest of the people in the private Syrian companies is evident, not mentioning the fact that these companies have begun to spread more and more in the market, despite the fact that that the General Syrian Establishment for Insurance remained in control of the market with a total volume of installments that reached 5,5 billion Syrian Pounds.
The question is: will the private insurance companies be able to have the upper hand over the public insurance companies, especially that those companies enjoy enough flexibility to adopt themselves with the conditions of the market more than the public establishment.
