By ownership

  • Domestic private2 100%

“Cross-border groups” counts foreign multinationals and pan-regional groups; “domestically owned” counts domestic private, state-owned, mutual and captive entities. The register records the parent’s type, not its home market. How ownership is recorded

Regulatory intelligence: Djibouti

Read from the register, not written for this page: the supervisor’s regime, the source the list was checked against, and the market notes recorded alongside it.

Supervisor
Ministry of Economy and Finance (Insurance Directorate)
Register source
Ministere de l'Economie et des Finances charge de l'Industrie (MEFI), which supervises insurance through its service de controle des assurances. Its Rapport annuel du secteur financier 2017, section V 'Le Marche Djiboutien des Assurances en 2017': "Le Marche des Assurances comprend deux compagnies d'assurances, AMERGA et GXA et un Pool GIE." Corroborated by the ministry's own page on insurance supervision (ministere-finances.dj/EF/Economie_Finances/Asuran02_2.htm), which records that after the January 2001 suspensions the two companies granted an agrement were GXA and AMERGA.

Governing legislation

  • Law 40/AN/99/4ème L; Law 161/AN/12/6ème L · Institutional and insurance framework

    The Ministry’s insurance guide assigns supervision to the Directorate of Economy and identifies the 1999 insurance law and its 2012 update.

Verification log

Both rows corroborated: the Ministry of Economy and Finance's own annual report on the financial sector for 2017 states that the Djiboutian insurance market consists of two companies, AMERGA and GXA. No newer official list of licensees exists - the Banque Centrale de Djibouti's register of licensed institutions covers credit institutions and financial auxiliaries only and its 2024 financial stability report states that insurance companies are not under central-bank supervision. Nothing added, nothing removed.
