[摘要]2003年财产险公司进入意外险市场以后,湖北省保险市场格局发生了较大的变化,意外险保费规模保持了较快的增长势头。从全国范围来看,情况基本上是相同的,产险公司意外险业务高速增长,而寿险公司意外险的市场份额和增长速度却同步下滑。目前,湖北省意外险业务存在的主要问题是:竞争激烈且手段简单;中介代理业务的不规范经营行为较为严重;自律公约缺乏约束力。湖北省规范和发展意外险业务,应鼓励保险公司开拓创新,发挥保险行业协会的协作和自律作用,提升保险公司的内控管理水平,对中介机构加强监管,以利于意外险业务的规范和发展。 [关键词]意外险;竞争激烈;中介代理 [中图分类号] F840.66 [文献标识码] A [文章编号]1004-3306(2006)12-0078-03 Abstract: Since property insurers were allowed to write accidental insurance from 2003, the insurance market framework in Hubei province was changed significantly, and premium income from accidental insurance has been growing briskly.
