Verification log

Verified - full register · ARCA Burundi, Rapport annuel du secteur des assurances du Burundi, exercice 2024 (published Oct-Nov 2025), Tableaux 1 and 2: all 23 licensed insurers at 31 Dec 2024 (12 non-life, 11 life)

Reconciled to the 23 insurers ARCA lists at 31 Dec 2024 (annual report 2024). All 6 rows matched; 5 composite rows corrected to General because ARCA lists each as a non-life company (the Code separates life and non-life; BICOR, EGIC, UCAR and SOCABU have separately licensed life sisters); 17 added (11 life, 6 non-life). No reinsurers or brokers are included.
