This reflects the confidence of the Arab and global insurance markets in the Omani insurance sector. It also adds tremendous economic value for the sector since it will be the focus of attention of the Arab Insurance Companies. In addition, this conference will be the perfect opportunity to highlight the potential of the Insurance Sector in terms of its legislation or digital system which is witnessing a noticeable advancement.
These public conferences, held by the GAIF, are extremely important since they bring together more than 1,500 Arab participants and discuss topics related to insurance and reinsurance. They also offer an opportunity for partners in the field to build communication channels to utilize the available business opportunities in the Arab insurance and reinsurance markets.
Headquartered in Cairo, Egypt, the General Arab Insurance Federation was established in 1964 and holds many conferences which are run by experts specialized in insurance to find solutions to the challenges facing the Arab insurance market in general.
Considered to be one of the basic components of the Insurance Market in Oman, the Oman Insurance Association is a professional institution licensed by the Ministry of Social Development. It comprises all insurance companies and brokers operating in the Sultanate of Oman.
