Takaful Emarat (PSC)

Takaful Emarat Insurance (PSC) reported accumulated losses amounting to AED 190,192 (in thousands) in Q1 2024, equating to 127% of its paid-up capital. This is in accordance with the SCA Board of Directors’ Decision No. (32/R.M.) of 2019, which requires disclosure when losses reach or exceed 20% of paid-up capital. The losses were mainly due to reduced margins and higher medical claims expenses, lower-than-expected returns from investments, and business decline following a merger and acquisition project. The company also wrote off some bad debts and revaluated some assets, adding to the losses. To address this, the company initiated a capital restructuring process in early 2024, approved a capital increase of AED 185Mn, and is working to improve its IT systems and investment strategies.
