The Insurance Industry in Bahrain, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017, New Report Launched

Despite its small size, the Bahraini insurance industry is well developed and highly regulated. The industry grew at a review-period (2008–2012) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%, driven by an increase in the infrastructural projects, the implementation of compulsory motor third-party liability insurance, the rising number of health conditions and a steadily growing population. The industry is expected to face challenges over the forecast period (2012–2017). The high combined ratios of non-life insurance companies, which are expected to continue to exceed 100%, and political unrest in the country will put pressure on the industry’s overall profitability. However, despite such challenges, Bahrain’s insurance industry is anticipated to rise at a forecast-period CAGR of 7.8%, driven instead by the huge growth potential realized by foreign investors, regulatory reforms and government efforts to support growth.
