The Arab War Risks Insurance Syndicate (AWRIS) delivered strong financial performance for 2025, with net premiums rising by 22.4% and net profit increasing by 20.6% compared with the previous year.
These results were supported by improved investment returns — a 3.1% increase in return on investment — aside from effective control of expenses, said AWRIS in a statement, but did not provide absolute figures.
AWRIS members approved the Syndicate’s annual report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 at the 46th Annual General Assembly (AGM), held on 2 July 2026 in Manama. Held in a hybrid format, the AGM gathered more than 40 members representing 15 Arab countries, with overall participation reaching 81.30% of its membership.
The Syndicate’s financial resilience was further underscored by AM Best, which, for the fourth consecutive year, has affirmed AWRIS’s strong ratings with a stable outlook, highlighting the pool’s financial solidity and sound underwriting practices. AM Best assigned a financial strength rating of ‘B++’ (Good) and a long-term issuer credit rating of ‘BBB+’ (Good) in 2022.
