上海作为我国保险业的发祥地,目前在保费收入、保险密度、保险深度、市民的保险意识等方面均居全国领先地位。中国加入WTO后,上海也将成为各外资保险公司的必争之地。在未来五年乃至更长的一段时间内,上海必将引领中国保险业的发展方向。值此时机,上海保险监督管理部门即将推出上海保险市场景气指数可谓意义重大。 Shanghai, as the birthplace of China’s insurance industry, is currently leading the nation in terms of premium income, insurance density, insurance coverage and citizens’ insurance awareness. After China joins the WTO, Shanghai will also become a must for any foreign-funded insurance company. In the next five years and even longer period, Shanghai will certainly lead the development direction of China’s insurance industry. At this juncture, the upcoming Shanghai Insurance Regulatory Commission’s prosperity index for the insurance market in Shanghai can be described as significant.
