Licensed insurance companies in Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana (2026)
PartialPartially verified against the BoG / CBvS / ACPR register, checked 7 Sept 2026.
The 24 insurance companies licensed in Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana in 2026, as recorded by the Bank of Guyana / Centrale Bank van Suriname / ACPR (France) (BoG / CBvS / ACPR), with the class of business and ownership each one is registered under.
Snapshot
By class of business
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
“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
