The present study intended to support the Government’s efforts to introduce reforms to the insurance industry and its negotiations for accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). To that end, it provides a consolidated perspective about insurance services in Laos, with particular different to the impact of possible Government commitments to liberalizing the insurance industry as part of its WTO accession process. The study builds on survey of the industry as part of its regulatory environment to determine the areas that could benefit from liberalization and restructuring. It uses these finding along with the experiences of other Asian countries and best practice recommendations to suggest possible reforms and commitments under the General Agreement on Trade in Service (GATS) of the WTO. The implications of liberalization for the insurance industry are then considered and reforms supporting the Government’s overall economic plan and purpose.
