By class of business
Each company is counted once, under the class its register row records. The supervisor’s own tally counts licences, so a company licensed for more than one class appears more than once there.
By ownership
Verification log
Partially verified - NBE lists the 18 direct insurers (directory entries last edited Oct-Dec 2023, confirmed by the NBE Annual Report 2024/25 as at 30 June 2025); the reinsurer Ethiopian Re is not on either list · National Bank of Ethiopia, Financial Institutions > Insurers directory (WordPress 'insurers' records, 18 entities, retrieved 22 Sep 2026), cross-checked against NBE Annual Report 2024/25 Table 4.6 'Branch Network & Capital of Insurance Companies as at June 30, 2025' (18 companies)
All 18 direct insurers match the NBE insurer directory and the NBE Annual Report 2024/25 list (as at 30 June 2025); no additions or removals. Ethiopian Re (reinsurer) is not on either NBE list and remains unverified; NBE gives no licence class, so the composite classCodes are not register-confirmed.
