The Saudi Reinsurance Company (Saudi Re) announced the appointment of the Bahrain Institute for Banking and Finance (BIBF) to lead the development of the Future Leaders Programme 2023 launched by Saudi Re, to train and employ Saudi graduates with a BA or MA degrees.
The programme aims to empower graduates to become among the next generation of leaders in the insurance and reinsurance industry. The programme that runs over the course of a year, offers a rich learning experience led by experts in the insurance sector, with a focus on building a solid foundation of technical knowledge and business skills.
The programme is designed to suit bachelor’s and master’s degrees graduates in various disciplines including insurance, actuarial science, risk management, accounting, financial management, engineering, information technology, and law.
The Manager of Human Resources and Administration at Saudi Re, Mona Al-Jehani, said: “We aspire to build a strong national talent base that contributes to creating a promising future for the insurance and reinsurance sector through the Future Leaders Programme, which helps trainees to acquire specialised technical knowledge and professional certificates, in addition to developing their practical skills through on-the-job training." Mona Al Jehani also added: “We build on previous successes with the BIBF to lead the programme and apply the highest level of specialised training competencies in the field of insurance and reinsurance.
Manal Mashkoor, Head of the Insurance Centre at the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF), welcomed this new collaboration with «Saudi Re», saying: “We are pleased to continue our partnership with «Saudi Re» in developing the future human capital of Saudi Re and the Saudi insurance market at large which is achieved through scientific assessment and selection of candidates and provision of international training combined with local best practices. The BIBF is proud to be part of Saudi Re journey into moving from a regional to an international reinsurer.

The Saudi Reinsurance Company (Saudi Re) has announced the annual financial results ending on 31 December 2022, noting that net profit before Zakat rose to 56.7 million SAR compared to 53.3 million SAR last year, with an increase of 6.4 percent. The Company’s 2022 results also recorded a rise in its sales by 26 percent, reaching 1.4 billion SAR in total written premiums, driven by strong growth in the local market and the Middle East markets.
The results reflected an improvement in the Company’s technical performance, which was represented by the growth in reinsurance operations surplus by 139 percent compared to last year. The investments performance was affected by the rise in interest rates, and the decline in stock market and fixed income performance. The total shareholders' equity also grew by the end of the period to 1,000 million SAR, compared to 963 million SAR last year, while the company’s technical reserves reached 2.3 billion SAR, exceeding the total assets of 4.2 billion SAR by the end of the year.
