Verification log
Verified - full register · Banco Central de São Tomé e Príncipe, 'Instituições Financeiras - Empresas de Seguro' (https://www.bcstp.st/Instituicoes-Financeiras-Detalhes?cod=SEG, retrieved 2026-09-26): lists 2 insurers, 'SAAR S.Tomé e Príncipe' and 'NICON SEGUROS'. Corroborated by BCSTP 'Supervisão - Empresas de Seguros' page (https://www.bcstp.st/Banco-Central?x=SwLgBoNpb/7IcYkZfC6Zcg==&&z=e7pHX56moyeeYqrLxTGFBQ==, last publication 31 Dec 2023) and BCSTP 2023 insurance-indicators spreadsheet (https://www.bcstp.st/Upload/New_DOC/SB/Indicadores_Seguros_2023.xlsx): 'Número de Empresas de Seguros' = 2 for every year 2018-2023.
Rows match the BCSTP list exactly (2 of 2). BCSTP history: after independence the colonial insurers merged into 'A Tranquilidade', nationalised as 'A Compensadora' in the 1980s, which ceased business in mid-1996 (excluded - defunct); the sector restarted in November 2001. The BCSTP history page calls the 2001 licensee 'SAT Insurance' (Cameroonian capital); the current list names it 'SAAR S.Tomé e Príncipe' - treated as the same company (a SAAR group web excerpt lists 'SAT in São Tomé' among its companies).
