After starting the year on a positive momentum, the bear took over the insurance market sector of the Nigerian Exchange in the second trading week of the year as the market closed on a negative note at 0.69%

This was driven by sell-offs by most insurers which dragged the insurance ASI to close at 196.26 basis point as at 14th January 2022.

On week-on-week basis, the market cap of the sixteen insurance firms listed on the NGX declined significantly to close at N131.18 from the N131.98 last week as AIICO Insurance maintains its number one spot as the most capitalized on the Nigerian Exchange.
