Licensed insurance companies in Libya (2026)
VerifiedVerified against the Libyan Insurance Supervisory Authority register, checked 2 Sept 2026.
The 66 insurance companies licensed in Libya in 2026, as recorded by the Libyan Insurance Supervisory Authority, 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

All 5 matched, nothing removed, 61 added (57 insurers and 4 reinsurers).
