NHMFC, eight insurers flagged over MRI deals

THE Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) on Tuesday raised anticompetition concerns over the imposition of exclusive life insurance by the National Home Mortgage Finance Corp. (NHMFC) and several insurance companies on their account holders.

In a statement, the antitrust agency said its Enforcement Office charged the NHMFC and eight insurers for signing agreements on providing mortgage redemption insurance (MRI) to account holders when other firms offer better terms and conditions.
