New Market Report: Qatar Insurance Report Q3 2016

The insurance market in Qatar has grown at a steady rate in recent years and is expected to continue to outpace most of its neighbours. Strong economic development tied to infrastructure expenditure remains a key driver of insurance demand in a market that remains dominated by five top insurers and an almost exclusive concentration on non-life lines. Life insurance remains in the very early stages of development, with demand mostly coming from expatriate workers.

Latest Updates And Developments:

We expect to see solid growth in Qatar's insurance sector in 2016, with premiums forecast to fall by 0.2% to reach QAR9.4bn (USD2.6bn). Somewhat slower growth is expected over the remainder of the forecast period, with gross premiums written expected to reach QAR11.2bn (USD3.1bn) in 2020.

Qatar is in the process of updating its regulatory environment. The Qatar Central Bank (QCB) is setting out a framework for updating the licensing and conduct regulations for insurers which will expand the allowed role for foreign insurers in a range of non-life sub-sectors and could attract more insurers to obtain a licence from the QCB instead of the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority (QFCRA).
