CHALLANGES
1. **Lack of Awareness and Financial Literacy**: A significant portion of the population is not well-informed about
the benefits of insurance. This lack of awareness, coupled with low financial literacy, hampers the growth of the
insurance sector.
4. **Technological Integration**: While there is a push towards digitalization, many insurance companies
still struggle with integrating advanced technologies like AI, blockchain, and big data into their operations.
This hampers efficiency and customer experience.
