Over the years, we have been privileged to be a part of the growth of the Insurance Industry:

In 2013, we saw the introduction of Re-Insurance to the industry. 

Up to 2014, all insurance companies conducted both Non-Life & Life business but in 2015, the mandatory separation of Life & Non-Life business came into effect which saw a burgeon in the UIA membership consisting of: Life Insurance companies, Non-Life Insurance companies & Re-Insurance companies. 

In 2018, another category: Micro Insurance was added.
