CHAPTER ONE

1.0      INTRODUCTION

The theme of this project is “The Impact of Insurance Companies on the economic development of an economy”

(A Case Study of Nicon Insurance Plc Enugu).  It is my intention to examine the following:

(a)    Brief history or historical aspect of insurance

(b)    Meaning of Insurance

(c)     Functions

 

(A)          HISTORICAL ASPECT OF INSURANCE

Modern Commercial Insurance was introduced into Nigerian in the first quartet of the 20th – Century by early British Merchants who established trading posts on the West Coast of Africa.  Until 1921 when the Royal exchange Assurance Company Limited opened its Office in Lagos.  The business  of insurance was hither to conducted on Skeletal agency arrangement.

But today, it has increased to many Companies in Nigerian.

 

(B)     MEANING OF INSURANCE

Insurance could be defined as one of the social sciences designed mostly tasking risk and risk taking involves uncertainty of loss (OKWOR, 1985).    Therefore Insurance Company is a Service Company on which the activities of other business enterprise depend for security and protection.

 

(C)    FUNCTIONS OF INSURANCE

        Many writers have mentioned some of the functions of insurance which  the researcher will not hesitate to mention by listened to all these functions.

i.            Insurance guarantees to persons that their individual financial losses will be fairly and equitably distributed over the insured Community or group as a whole.

ii.          By offering financial Security to business and enterprises, by offering money to finance the replacement of loss and damage.

iii.        Insurance Industry serve as an effective vehicle for the mobilization of natural resources for the mobilization of natural resources for the national development efforts.

iv.         Insurance Industry is an important employer of Labour thus provided Joint opportunities for the teeming population  of this country and helping to solve the unemployment problems.

Therefore with the regards to the economy of which is in a state of depression, Insurance functions could be linked as a tool for looking into this depression since the industry  is also in Line with the financial activities of the country.

Insurance Companies provide the service of Financial sustenance to other participants in the economy.   They do this by ensuring the financial survival other business in the event of the  unfortunate occurrence of insurable risks.  Without such financial compensation as offered by the insurance industry, many a business would have been out of existence, with all the attendant economic waste.

The economic development of any nation is closely related tot he behaviour of individuals living in that country as regards how much to save and how much to consume from their earned income.

From the national accounting point of view savings equals investment.  It is also true that for a country where the inhabitants make a consistent effort to save a part of their disposable personal income, such a country will be economically viable that is ignoring the uncontrollable variables such as political instability and depression.
