established in 1977 mainly in response to the common concern for the extent of foreign exchange leakage created in a foreign-dominated sector. It was established with a capital sum of EC $100,000 loan by the Government and given the status of a Department of Government.<\/p>\n<p>The limitations of this form of the organization were obvious, not the least being the lack of \ufb02exibility in decision making and the General Manager acting as Company sole being subject to all the bene\ufb01ts and lack of bene\ufb01ts of a corporate body. It is also reasonable to assume that as an independent body it could attract more business. Consequently, the State Insurance Company Limited Act, 1985, established the constitution and functions of State Insurance Company.<\/p><div id=\"antig-878481783\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-890908257\" class=\"antig-content_2\"><\/div>\n<p>State Insurance Company has attained high visibility not only as a result of the very impressive architectural and physical facilities within which it operates but because of the contribution it has made and continues to make in the area of sports, culture, education, and the arts.
