Middle East Insurance Review is 20!!

Midde East Insurance Review (MEIR) reaches its 20th milestone in 2026! How time has flown! In the two decades, MEIR has seen such an evolution in the MENA insurance landscape, the most obvious being the huge transition from what was a younger nascent industry to what today is a more mature, regulated and sophisticated shining star, having overtaken the previously mature markets in leaps and bounds, especially in innovation, digital transformation and AI. The shift of power is obvious with the Middle East now becoming a global role model, displaying so much more potential than some of its international neighbours

When we first explored entering the MENA market in 2006, we did not know what to expect. At the time, MEIR was one of many insurance publications on the ground and we were literally the ‘new kids on the block’. However, with the strength of the Asia Insurance Review (AIR) brand backing us, our long history, rock solid reputation with this Asian flagship, and sheer perseverance, MEIR powered through, keeping to our promise to raise the bar for thought leadership and knowledge transfer as the Voice of the industry. Today, we are the ONLY surviving English insurance media on the ground, providing regular industry content, both conventional and in Takaful.

We have been truly blessed to be the trusted source of reliable and up-to-date news and as AIR is in Asia, MEIR is the sole official media partner of all the major industry events including GAIF, FAIR, AIO, Sharm el Sheikh Rendezvous etc. And for this, we have our friends from the industry to thank who have truly supported and encouraged us through both the highs and lows in the last 20 years. MEIR has walked with the industry through this evolution – from growth drivers such as increased premium growth, regulatory reforms, introduction of mandatory motor and health coverage, digital transformation, rise of Insurtech and market expansion to challenging times such as geopolitical tensions and wars, external political and terrorist shocks, economic fluctuations and recessions as well as pandemics. We have witnessed the rise of some market leaders eg Saudi Arabia and the UAE as well as how financial centres have morphed to what they are today. However, whilst some countries have developed well, there is still a huge disparity with some that remain underdeveloped and infrastructurally challenged.

The MEIR team would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all our partners, friends and readers for being with us through the years and helping us maintain our pole position. It is indeed an honour to work with such great leaders in the market and our hope is to walk with you in growing the industry, reporting on the key issues morphing the industry in the next 20 years.

Here are some highlights we are preparing for you in 2026:

Middle East Insurance Industry Awards (MIIA) and the Power of the Trophy

2026 will mark the 13th year in helping raise standards of professionalism within the MENA region via our Middle East Insurance Industry Awards (MIIA), which remains the award to vie for.

No other award gala event has been raved as the benchmark for excellence for the market and hailed as the “Oscars” for the industry. With a high-level judging panel, as well as a very transparent audited judging process, the MIIA has become a mainstay of excellence for the industry. We will continue to reform to ensure these awards move with the developments in the market. We assure you of our continued commitment to the sanctity of the MIIA Trophy!

Industry Events to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking:

In this milestone year, we do intend to focus on more key events, roundtables and networking opportunities. The celebration of our anniversary will continue through the year so watch this space. In addition to our wide range of high-level conferences, including flagship events such as the India Rendezvous, the Middle East Healthcare Conference and other C-suite conferences, MEIR also seeks to engage market leaders and clients through webinars and roundtables on topics of importance to our readers.
