The Mediterranean and Gulf Insurance and Reinsurance Co. (MEDGULF) has signed a contract with Saudi Electricity Co. (SEC) at a total value exceeding SAR 570 million, the insurer said in a bourse filing.

 

Under the one-year contract, MedGulf will provide health insurance services to the company’s employees as well as their families.

 

The contract is forecast to account for 5 percent of the insurer’s revenue, as per financial statements for FY17.

 

The related financial impact is expected to appear in earnings of FY19.
