Oman Insurance Company
Oman Insurance, a life and non-life company, relies on its headquarters in Dubai to market its products through 16 branches in the United Arab Emirates and two others respectively located in Qatar and Oman. Despite a slowdown of its turnover during the past three years, the company continued to report remarkable technical results.
With non-life combined ratios of around 50% to 75% between 2010 and 2012, Oman Insurance is strengthening its financial base. Nearly 50% of its 2012 turnover is underwritten in life insurance.
