Earned premiums in non-life insurance (except compulsory car insurance sector) rose by 31%, registering EGP 7.2 million at the end of last September, compared to EGP 5.3 million at the end of the same period in FY 2011/2012, said Mohamed Abdel Mawla, assistant director of technical affairs at the company.
The company plans to reduce the number of compulsory car insurance policies as per the decision issued by the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority (EFSA).
