The retirement funds portfolio constituted P117.9 billion followed by insurance industry at P21 billion. Other financial corporations such as Letshego Holdings had P19billion.<\/p>\n<p>All banks were at P126 billion. The stake of all nine commercial banks stood at P117billion and the statutory banks constituted a tiny P9 billion. The report called for tight scrutiny of the NBFI saying it could affect the financial stability and contribute to a systematic risk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe insurance companies could affect financial stability and contribute to the systematic risk through three potential transmission channels, namely, failure to provide critical services; inability to mitigate risk and compensate for loss with respect to systematically important counterparts; risk to financial institutions,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFailure by a dominant company may leave a significant gap in the provision of critical risk mitigation services to the economy as the remaining companies may not have the capacity to fill the void,\u201d it warned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dominance of BIHL (Botswana Insurance Holdings Limited) in the local sector exacerbates these risks and warrant enhanced supervision,\u201d FSC\u2019s report warned.<\/p>\n<p>The top five largest life insurance companies in the country control 90 percent of the market share and they dominate the Gross Premiums Written. More than 80 percent of pension industry are accounted by Botswana Public Officers Pension Fund ( BPOPF).<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
