Dubai: The UAE insurance sector continues to exhibit robust growth, as evidenced by a 9.6% increase in total assets during the first nine months of 2023, reaching AED 131.6 billion by the end of the third quarter. This translates to an impressive AED 11.5 billion increase in assets compared to the year-end 2022 figure of AED 120.1 billion.

The data from the Central Bank of the UAE shows that quarter-on-quarter performance remains equally positive, with assets rising 3.05% (AED 3.9 billion) to AED 127.7 billion between Q2 and Q3 of 2023. This sustained growth signifies a thriving and dynamic insurance market in the UAE.
