Aetna's Philippine license broadens crowded market
Article Abstract:
The Philippine government has awarded Aetna Life Insurance a license to operate in the country in line with its new economic liberalization policy. This move gives this unit of Aetna International Inc. the privilege of being the first foreign insurance firm to be licensed since the 1960s. However, Aetna will be competing with 25 other life insurance firms which are all vying for an increase in a share of a market that is still relatively small.

The industry's problems are rooted in bad business decisions dating back from the boom years of the 1980s.
