Explore Myanmar todayMYANMAR INDUSTRY NOW
The industry in MyanmarProtection gaps meet changing claims services.
Insurance needs to be assessed through actual protection and the ability to claim, as well as product availability. Disaster cover and service processes are distinct issues.
Disaster cover reached only 6% of surveyed firms
The December 2025 World Bank report puts disaster insurance coverage at 6% of surveyed firms, not penetration across all insurance classes (PDF p. 18). [3]
Motor claims can start online
KBZMS offers online motor-claim intake with follow-up by SMS. Filing a claim and establishing a payable benefit remain separate steps. [4]
Business implications
Businesses need clarity on covered perils, interruption and exclusions, not just premiums. Digital intake should be compared separately from assessment and payment performance.
What to watch next
Watch policy scope, exclusions, evidence requirements and observed times from loss to assessment and payment.
Evidence behind the industry.
FRD identifies insurance supervision among its responsibilities. Coverage must be checked in the insurer’s policy wording and endorsements. [1]

Where is value created, and who needs it?
Start with the role, process and customer.
- Identify exposures
- Compare terms
- Arrange / maintain
- Notify / claim
Compare insured persons, assets, locations, periods, exclusions and limits, not product names alone. Distinguish insurer, intermediary and policyholder roles.
Different segments, different questions.
ILLUSTRATIVE SEGMENTS| SEGMENT / MODEL | VALUE TO DELIVER | WHAT TO VALIDATE |
|---|---|---|
| Property & operations | Describe premises, equipment, stock and interruption exposures for quotation. | Check physical loss and interruption coverage separately. |
| Transport & cargo | Specify transit, packaging, storage and value for comparison. | Distinguish carrier liability from insurance coverage and exclusions. |
| Employees & travel | Seek products for the actual people, activities and destinations. | Review relevant exclusions, emergency contacts and claims evidence. |
