Nepal’s life insurance sector is experiencing notable expansion as international insurers extend their presence beyond major cities. In March 2026 (Falgun 2082 BS), MetLife Nepal officially launched two new agency offices in Chandrauta of Lumbini Province and Syangja of Gandaki Province. The expansion is part of the company’s strategy to move away from a Kathmandu-centered model and strengthen financial advisory services in regional communities. By opening offices in these locations, MetLife aims to address the distribution gap in insurance services and ensure that households in western and central Nepal have easier access to professional guidance on life, accident, and health insurance products.
