Saudi insurers report improved first-half profits on lower claims
Saudi Arabia: Major Saudi-listed
insurers released first-half earnings results on Wednesday, with three reporting
improved profits due to lower claims.
Alinma Tokio Marine Co. turned in a profit of
SR2.4 million ($639,339) in the first half of 2022, erasing over SR3.2 million
in losses from the first half of 2021, according to a bourse filing.
Saudi Enaya Cooperative Insurance Co. managed to
narrow its losses by 53 percent to SR14 million, while Amana Cooperative
Insurance Co. narrowed its losses by 50 percent to SR31 million.
Meanwhile, Wataniya Insurance saw its losses
increase by 44 percent to SR37 million in the first half of 2022, bucking the
trend, owing to a decrease in net underwriting income.
