Background of the Study
The insurance sector is a critical component of Nigeria’s financial services industry, contributing to economic stability and growth. Regulatory changes play a significant role in shaping the operations and profitability of insurance companies. These changes often include adjustments in capital requirements, policy guidelines, risk management frameworks, and compliance standards (NAICOM, 2024).
AXA Mansard, a leading player in the Nigerian insurance sector, has experienced both opportunities and challenges arising from regulatory adjustments. While regulations aim to strengthen the industry’s resilience and customer trust, they often impose additional compliance costs and operational constraints, influencing profitability.
This study explores the effect of regulatory changes on the profitability of AXA Mansard, providing insights into how insurance companies adapt to evolving regulatory landscapes.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the intended benefits of regulatory changes, their impact on the profitability of insurance companies in Nigeria remains a subject of debate. While some argue that stricter regulations enhance stability and long-term profitability, others highlight the increased operational costs and reduced margins that companies face.
The lack of empirical studies focusing on specific companies, such as AXA Mansard, limits the understanding of how regulatory changes affect profitability. This study seeks to address this gap by analyzing the financial performance of AXA Mansard in the context of recent regulatory reforms.
Objectives of the Study
- To examine the relationship between regulatory changes and profitability in AXA Mansard.
- To assess the compliance strategies employed by AXA Mansard to adapt to regulatory reforms.
- To identify the challenges and opportunities arising from regulatory changes in the Nigerian insurance sector.
Research Questions
- How do regulatory changes affect the profitability of AXA Mansard?
- What compliance strategies does AXA Mansard employ to adapt to regulatory reforms?
- What challenges and opportunities arise from regulatory changes in the Nigerian insurance sector?
Research Hypotheses
- Regulatory changes do not significantly affect the profitability of AXA Mansard.
- Compliance strategies do not significantly influence AXA Mansard’s adaptation to regulatory reforms.
- Challenges and opportunities from regulatory changes do not significantly impact AXA Mansard’s performance.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on the effect of regulatory changes on AXA Mansard’s profitability from 2015 to 2025. Limitations include access to proprietary financial data and the dynamic nature of regulatory environments.
