Morshed Alam MP, the Chairman of RTV, said, "The spread of insurance coverage and the number of policyholders in this country of 170 million people is very low. For the past 8-9 years, I have been involved with the insurance sector, and I am the Chairman of National Life Insurance Company. I have tried to promote the insurance industry and earn a good reputation for it.

Because I have seen that there is a lot of hesitation and uncertainty among people about insurance.

Insurance covers people's risks.

So, people need to be encouraged to insure themselves, and they need to be informed about the benefits of insurance.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the daughter of Bangabandhu, has placed great importance on the insurance sector.

In addition, due to Insurance Day celebrations, our publicity and reputation have increased. We need to further advance the insurance industry. I believe that those who are involved in this industry will increase people's confidence and expand the insurance industry if they keep their promises properly.

State minister for planning Dr Shamsul Alam said, "The success of the country's businesspeople during this crisis has propelled our economy forward.

As a result, the growth of our economy did not go negative.

Despite the Ukraine war, we expect our growth to remain above 7 percent. The business sector of our country has expanded a lot.

Here our insurance companies have a big role to play. In the country, total 81 private sector insurance companies are operating their activity. We need to modernize and digitize our insurance sector."

"At the same time, skills of those related to this sector should be increased. If there are any flaws in the policy framework, then I will fix that while formulating the plan later," he said.

He said, "Under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the country has progressed remarkably. We must utilize her visionary and exceptional leadership."

The Chairman of Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission Professor Shibli Rubayat Ul Islam, Chairman of Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority Mohammad Jainul Bari, President of Bangladesh Insurance Association Sheikh Kabir Hossain, and the Managing Director of RTV Humayun Kabir Bablu were also present at that programme.
