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 - QCB directory of licensed insurers (Oct 2024) covers QCB licensees only; QFC-authorised insurers not checked (QFCRA register unreachable) · Qatar Central Bank, List of Insurance Companies Licensed by Qatar Central Bank (English and Arabic PDFs, created 29 Oct 2024), retrieved 23 Sep 2026: 14 entities
QCB directory of 14 licensed insurers (Oct 2024): 9 rows matched; QLM Life & Medical, Doha Takaful and three foreign branches (Arabia Insurance, Libano-Suisse, Misr Insurance) added. QFC-authorised insurers (GIG Gulf, Seib, Zurich, Qatar Re rows) are outside the QCB list and were not checked because the QFCRA register is unreachable, so none was removed.
