The Government’s Transitional and Stabilising Programme set a target to increasing insurance ratio from 5 percent to 20 percent by 2020.

The TSP highlights some stringent industry licensing requirements, which hinder growth of the insurance sector in Zimbabwe with industry players saying the 20 percent penetration was achievable with a more conducive policy environment that encourages sector growth.
