KEY FOCUS & OUTCOMES:

  • For the general insurance business, a 59% decrease in operating profits was driven by: inflationary pressures on motor claims, where severity of motor claims increased significantly. The number of claims returned to pre-pandemic levels, with the cost of claims increasing due to the depreciation of the Mauritian Rupee and rising inflation. 
  • The 19% growth in Gross Written Premiums of Life Insurance was driven by a robust increase in the protection product segment. The strong rebound of Profit After Tax to Rs 290m significantly exceeded the pre-pandemic levels of Rs 185m recorded in 2019.

Combined ratio = 109%

KEY FOCUS & OUTCOMES:

  • Obtain approval for the amalgamation of Saham’s general insurance business with MUA Kenya, and the transfer of Saham’s life business to Sanlam Life. The approval was granted in June 2021. Consequently, the legal transfer of Saham General Business and Life Business portfolio, assets and liabilities to MUA Kenya and Sanlam Life, respectively, was completed accordingly.
  • Amalgamation of Saham Kenya and MUA Kenya teams. All Saham Kenya employees were transferred to MUA Kenya, effective from 1 August 2021. Harmonisation of the polices will continue in 2022 and 2023.
  • Strategic plan post-integration. A strategic plan was developed for the next two years.
