UAE, is growing at a rapid pace and offering a host of opportunities to both
existing and new players.



Press Release Body: Middle East comprises of both rich and poor countries and
therefore, its insurance market too is different from other regions of the world. In
some Middle East countries, expenditure on life insurance is relatively low while
others expend too much on the insurance. This peculiarity of the Middle East
insurance market impelled RNCOS, a leading market research company, to thoroughly
study the market and find out reasons for this disparity. The result has been
compiled in a report, "Opportunities in Middle East Insurance Market" which says
that the Middle East insurance sector is growing and changing rapidly.

Jordan, Kuwait and Turkey. The insurance industry is expected to grow at the

will offer enormous opportunities to existing as well as new players. But within the

industry. One such country is the UAE that has left behind other fellow countries
