By December 31, 2016 , JIIC posted 25.7 million USD in share capital for 35.1 million USD in shareholders’ equities and 56 million USD in assets.

In 2012, the company chose the strategic approach to withdraw from the motor business due to the huge losses sustained by this segment, an option that paid off eventually. The company’s portfolio has gradually gathered momentum with a net loss ratio that shifted from 196.6% in 2012 to 90.8% by December 31, 2016.

In a tight market where 24 companies are operating, JIIC reported 28.9 million USD in turnover by December 31, 2016, that is, 3.5% of the overall premiums written in the same year. It is considered as mid table company. Twenty years on after its establishment, the Jordanian insurer is specialized in health business with 69.2% of underwritten premiums, followed by fire with 16.3% and marine insurance with 6.5%.

Since 2012, the loss-making year by reference, the net result reported substantial recovery with a 12% peak of written premiums in 2015. This indicator shrank in 2016, displaying a rate of 5%.

JIIC started its third decade by tapping into new technologies. Providing better service to customers has become a strategic objective. This qualitative approach coupled with the steadily good results in recent years enabled the company to obtain a B+ rating with stable outlook from A.M. Best.
