In its latest report on Iran's insurance sector, Capital intelligence, the international ratings agency, said addressing the structural problems of Iran’s insurance market is vital for strengthening the resilience of domestic insurers.
CI Ratings has highlighted the need to consolidate Iran’s insurance market and move toward a more risk-based supervisory system.
