Executive Summary

Qatar’s insurance sector has seen good growth in the past few years, particularly in terms of gross premiums. Qatar sees itself as becoming the Gulf region’s leading insurance centre, aiming to provide access for the global insurance and reinsurance industry and it has the potential to be one of the region key markets in non-life and life insurance. Overall, the regional has a tiny share of world’s insurance, at less than 1%, but it is showing significant growth and is set to become a much more significant market for global insurers and reinsurers in the future. The countries five main insurance companies are likely to increase their foreign operations significantly in the coming years.

Although the sector should continue to grow reasonably strongly through our 2007-2013 forecast period, it is, nonetheless, facing a number of challenges. Claims and expenses have been surging along with premium growth, and overall profit growth has not kept pace with the rise in premiums. Other challenges include increasing competition from foreign groups who, like AIG, are attracted to the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC). Several insurance firms, including Marsh and HSBC has been authorised by the QFC in 2008. The QFC is also facing competition from its peers in other nearby countries (such as Bahrain’s Financial Harbour and the Dubai International Finance Centre).

It is also worth noting that Qatar is likely to weather the current economic crisis better than many other nations. Business confidence remains stable and the government is committed to ensuring the economy stays buoyant, while the economy itself is expected to remain relatively resilient in the face of a global downturn.
