The Omani insurers are expecting a 10% to 11% increase in their turnover in 2016. The increase in 2015 was similar as premium volumes increased by 11% to reach 442 million OMR (1.1 billion USD).

Both classes of business have been progressing significantly, in spite of a recent decline in registrations in the country.
