(MENAFN) The Chief Executive Officer of the Arab Insurance Group (Arig) said that the Manama-based firm posted a net profit of $4.5 million in the first quarter of this year up from $1.5 million a year earlier, assisted by rebounding investment returns, Gulf News reported.
The CEO said that shareholders’ equity after the first quarter stood at $257.2 million against $267.3 million at the year-end following distribution of $13.2 million in dividends on last year’s results.
Year-on-year, gross premiums written grew by 27 percent to $141.7 million and the company’s non-life combined ratio came in at a favorable 85.7 percent, he added.
