Egypt Insurance Report Q3 2014 - New Market Research Report

Overall, we anticipate that Egypt's insurance sector will enjoy steady growth over the forecast period. It should benefit from a period of stability, following political and economic volatility over the last few years. Challenges will continue to hinder the sector, particularly the non- life segment, as the central government attempts to reduce subsidies and high levels of debt.

Nevertheless, the market has shown itself to be remarkably resilient. In light of this, and regulatory changes, we may revise our forecasts upwards in the near future.

As such we do not anticipate the insurance sector to establish a greater share of GDP, with little evidence of an alteration in the market's overall competitive landscape. Takaful insurance remains at an embryonic stage of development; however, it has the potential to be a source of significant growth.
