Forty-eight markets from the Gulf to the Pacific. Australia, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia are reconciled against their registers; the rest are compiled from market knowledge and flagged as such.
Middle East & Gulf
Gulf markets led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, where cooperative and takaful models prevail, plus the Levant, Iran and Iraq under national supervision.
Central Asia & Caucasus
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and the Caucasus republics: small, consolidating markets where Russian and Austrian groups hold subsidiaries.
South Asia
India’s IRDAI-registered insurers and reinsurance branches, with Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and the smaller Himalayan and Indian Ocean markets.
South-East Asia
ASEAN markets from Singapore and Malaysia’s takaful sector to Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, where pan-Asian life groups compete.
East Asia
China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan: the region’s deepest markets, home to its largest life groups and most of its reinsurance capacity.
Oceania
Australia’s APRA-registered general, life and private health insurers, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific island markets.
