ARIG

Never the creation of a reinsurance company has been given such a media cover as that of ARIG in 1980. All the reinsurance elite, even the Chairman of Lloyd's were present at the inauguration.

At the time, Middle East was making the investors dream and ARIG was promising to become the giant to be courted from the very beginning.

Chief Executive Officer

Twenty-five years after this remarkable launch, ARIG, which, meanwhile, has tried various development strategies, lastly found its place in the market, its ambition being to become a reinsurance leader in the Middle East.

Looked upon as the most important reinsurance company in the MENA region, ARAB INSURANCE GROUP (BSC) is the fruit of an Arab partnership regrouping Kuwait, Libya and United Arab Emirates.
