The sector’s policeman is keen on preserving healthy local insurance companies.

The first half of 2016 reported a 38.95% decrease in after-tax profits which dropped from 3.92 million USD by 31 March 2015 down to 2.39 million USD in the first quarter of 2016, a fall accounted for mainly by economic slowdown.
