How does a financial market develop in an economy conditioned by occupation and resource scarcity? Books2bits is proud to announce the publication of «Tracing the Evolution of Palestinian Insurance», a groundbreaking book by Dr. Thaer Hurani.
Originating as a doctoral thesis at the University of Granada (Spain), this rigorous research tackles a highly understudied topic with excellent documentation and deep analytical insight. Dr. Hurani unravels the historical path of the insurance sector in Palestine since 1967, analyzing the economic consequences of the 1994 Paris Protocol and the structural obstacles this market faces under constant territorial and administrative restrictions.
Far from being just a commercial indicator, the insurance sector emerges in this book as a true reflection of the economic and social resilience of the Palestinian population. The author addresses vital themes for sustainable development, including the critical barriers to agricultural insurance due to water and land restrictions, the rise of Islamic insurance (Takaful) as an ethical alternative based on solidarity, and current digital transformation efforts.
As the author states in the book:
«The Palestinian insurance sector is a special case as it belongs to the Palestinian economy, which is affected by the repercussions of historical events… The insurance sector is affected by the turbulent political situation, which negatively affects the performance of the insurance sector.»
