As stated by the President of Bimeh Markazi, eminent involvement of insurance industry all through coronavirus pandemic and cordial cooperation with communal health and care workers deem to be the single most glorious achievement of supervisory regulatory body of Persian insurance industry.

Gradual implementation of paperless insurance policies is another remarkable act in the course of underwriting, contributing to the increase in general satisfaction and decrease in the insured individual’s approach in person.

Another important point in recent policy making of the supervisory body is defining premium rates as well as terms and conditions of policies that do not conform to inflation rate, in addition to the emphasis on psychological security rather than profit making, which evidently distinguishes this industry from others.
