Al-Etihad Insurance to see stronger profit in 2024: CEO

Hussam Alkannas, CEO of Al-Etihad Cooperative Insurance Co. 

Al-Etihad Cooperative Insurance Co. is set to achieve growth in its written premiums, alongside a year-on-year (YoY) hike in its 2024 profits after witnessing record earnings in 2023, said CEO Hussam Alkannas.

 
In an interview with CNBC Arabia TV, the top executive indicated that the company has a diversified portfolio that covers corporate and retail insurance. He expected revenues from the corporate segment to represent the largest part of the total revenues in 2024.
 
Al-Etihad Insurance, according to Alkannas, boasts ample liquidity and an investment portfolio exceeding SAR 1.3 billion, with a solvency margin surpassing 200%. He noted that the company ranks eighth by market share among insurers in Saudi Arabia.
 
When asked if dividends will continue to be distributed in 2024, Alkannas said, “As long as the company is moving forward in generating profit, this may be reflected on shareholders, whether through cash distributions or capitalization of retained earnings. The decision is ultimately up to the company's general assembly.”
 
Commenting on the contract signed with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD), the CEO stated that the contract entails Al-Etihad Insurance’s partnership with 19 insurance and reinsurance companies. He added that its share represents more than 53% of the contract.
 
According to Argaam’s data, the HRSD Ministry and the Insurance Authority (IA) launched yesterday, Oct. 6, the insurance product to cover the dues of expatriate workers in private sector establishments in the event of default.
 
The new product seeks to safeguard beneficiaries and soften the impact of not obtaining their financial rights should their establishments default and are unable to commit to paying wages for a specific period.
 
On the same day, Al-Etihad Insurance signed a one-year contract worth SAR 391.25 million with the HRSD Ministry, for insurance coverage of the financial dues of non-Saudi workers in the private segment, as per the agreed terms and conditions as well as the IA-approved insurance policy.
