Verification log

Four non-life rows match the Minister's May 2023 count of four; with VidaSEguros (first life insurer, opened 6-7 May 2023) the market totals 5. No official list naming all five was retrieved, so not 'full register'. CIMA annual market reports (2021, 2022) give premiums for the market but no company names. CHANAS Assurances SA (GE) was placed under provisional administration by CRCA Décision N°0005-20 (2020); no decision lifting it was found, but it was still being sanctioned as a filing insurer in Feb 2025, so it is kept. Brokers found in directories (ASCOMA, Gras Savoye Guinea, Guinea Brokers, CKRE Internacional) and directory-only names (Satelite Seguros, COGUISE SL) are excluded. Africa Re is a shareholder of GEPetrol Seguros, not a separately listed local insurer.
