What Is Economic Liberalization Establishing
opportunities with the rest of the world with
respect to trade, regulations, taxation and other
sectors which affects the business in the country
is termed as Economic Liberalization. With
steady economic growth within a country it is
easy to estimate the level a country is
liberalized economically and how easy it is to
invest and do business in the country. Almost all
the developed countries experienced
liberalization process and the emerging countries
are yet to experience it. Investments in the
emerging countries may hamper due to few barriers
such as tax laws, foreign investment
restrictions, and legal issues and accounting
regulations, all of which make it difficult or
impossible to gain access to the country.
Therefore, economic liberalization process
relaxes such barriers and relinquishing some
control over the direction of the economy to the
private sector. This
4
trend often involves some form of deregulation
and privatization of companies in the emerging
countries. The main goal of economic
liberalization is the free flow of capital
between nations and the efficient allocation of
resources. It is usually involves reduction of
tariffs, trade laws and other trade barriers.
When a country is liberalized, stock market
values also rise. Majority of the fund managers
and investors are interested in lookout for new
opportunities for profits. Therefore, a huge
investment in the emerging countries leads to a
flow of capital. Economic liberalization reduces
the political risks to investors. Economic
Liberalization Affecting Insurance Latin America
is an attractive and profitable region for global
insurers who are facing a sluggish growth. Latin
America has low insurance penetration and
therefore, has a capacity for strong growth in
income per capital which is the key asset for
insurers. The political and economic conditions
vary and overall the region has a bright outlook.
Latin
5
America is a region with the combination of
rising incomes, rising penetration and large
offshore energy-related projects which will
strengthen the demand for personal and commercial
non-life insurance products. Brazil accounts
for a major share in the insurance market in
Latin America. Majority of the insurance
companies utilize advanced technologies such as
digital transformation to drive efficiency,
improve profitability and increase penetration.
Majority of the insurance companies are able to
maintain marginal profitability despite the
economic downturn in Latin America and this trend
is expected to continue in the near future.
Brazil is making structural reforms after
emerging from severe recession. Few regulatory
reforms are setting a new insurance compliance
agenda and bolstering capital adequacy
requirements which will increase the insurance
industry's long-term financial stability.
Agricultural insurance in Latin America is
undeveloped because the majority of
6

• the farmers are categorized as unprotected and
  underserved by traditional insurance markets.
  Latin America has witnessed a major
  transformation in the past two years. With the
  increase in global liquidity tightening more
  gradual and a reversal in US dollar strength has
  supported the economic recovery in many regions.
• Although the economy is improving in Latin
  America, there is still a disappointing rate of
  growth in business environments. Major reforms
  are needed to simplify costly and complex tax
  systems in the region, while broadening the tax
  base which remains over-reliant on indirect
  taxes. Liberalisation is required to improve
  competition in the goods and services markets,
  and increasing the flexibility of labour markets.
  Underdeveloped infrastructure is a major factor
  to achieve sustained economic growth. There is
  increase in private investment in financing
  infrastructure with the upgrading of the
  regulatory frameworks for public-private
  partnerships (PPPs) and by removing restrictions
  on private investment in few areas.

Future Effects of Economic Liberalization The
underlying goal of economic liberalization is to
have witness an unrestricted capital flowing into
and out of the country to boost growth and
efficiencies within the home country. After a
tough period of economic slowdown in Latin
American region, it was expected that the
upcoming year will witness a recovery. Brazil and
Argentina are recovering from recession and the
regional economy as a whole is starting anew. A
steady growth is expected to stabilise the
economy of the Latin America region for the next
few years. Key Topics Covered in the
