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 - Direction du Controle des Assurances annual market report, Annexe II list of the market's insurance companies as at 31 December 2022 (latest published; no current-year register) · Republique du Niger, Ministere de l'Economie et des Finances, Direction Generale des Operations Financieres et des Reformes, Direction du Controle des Assurances (DCA): "Rapport sur le marche nigerien des assurances, exercice 2022", October 2023. Annexe II "Les societes et intermediaires d'assurances du marche", section A "Les societes d'assurances du marche", marked "Situation au 31 decembre 2022", source DCA/DGOF/R/ME/F: 6 companies under "Entreprises Dommages" and 2 under "Entreprises Vie et Capitalisation", 8 in all. Section 1.1 of the report states the same: "huit (8) compagnies d'assurances dont six (6) en Dommages et deux (2) en Vie et Capitalisation".
Reconciled against the Direction du Controle des Assurances' Rapport sur le marche nigerien des assurances, exercice 2022 (October 2023), Annexe II, which lists the market's eight licensed companies as at 31 December 2022: six non-life and two life. All five rows matched; two class codes corrected from composite to general because the supervisor licenses the two Sunu entities and every other company for a single branch; three companies added. The list is dated 31 December 2022 and is the newest the supervisor has published, so no row was removed.
