Oman Insurance Company, UAE’s leading insurer, has been assigned a positive outlook by S&P Global Ratings, based on improved operating performance while affirming an A- rating. The rating agency also reaffirmed the capital adequacy of Oman Insurance above the AAA level based on their risk-based capital model.

According to S&P, the positive outlook indicates that they could raise the ratings over the next two years if Oman Insurance further strengthens its operating performance while maintaining its market share and capital adequacy.

Oman Insurance has improved its underwriting and investment income consistently in that time, despite weaker economic conditions and recent market volatility. The company maintains robust capital adequacy, above that required at the ‘AAA’ confidence level as per our risk-based capital model."
