The Board of Directors of Al Wathba National Insurance Company has released its quarterly report for the period ending September 30, 2024. The company achieved an 84% growth in gross written premiums compared to the previous year, largely due to a successful re-entry into the health insurance segment and effective market adaptation. Despite this growth, the company recorded an insurance revenue of AED 257 million and a net insurance service loss of AED 7 million, leading to a net loss before tax of AED 79 million. The adverse weather events in early 2024 significantly impacted the UAE insurance industry, resulting in increased claims and highlighting the need for improved risk management. However, these events also led to an increase in premium rates for certain insurance lines. The company remains committed to innovation and customer service, aiming to deliver long-term value to stakeholders. The Board expressed gratitude to UAE leaders for their support.
