Bahrain National Holding Company
The group’s activities are structured around Bahrain Insurance Company, a non-life insurance company and Bahrain National Life Assurance, a single local life insurer.
First company in terms of shareholder’s equity in 2011, BNH acquired financial strength which allows it not only to secure its partners and customers, but also to diversify its investments.
Despite the crisis experienced by the countries of the region in recent years, BNH has continued to generate substantial profits in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Thanks to its local performance, the group began its regional expansion. BNH has targeted markets in the MENA region and in particular Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
