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

  • Pan-African group6 50%
  • Domestic private5 42%
  • State-owned / parastatal1 8%

“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

Governing legislation

  • CIMA Treaty of 10 July 1992 and Insurance Code · Regional establishing treaty and insurance framework

    The treaty established CIMA and its supervisory organs. The common insurance code governs member markets; subsequent regulations must be read alongside the code.

Verification log

Reconciled against the DNTCP Division des Assurances market report for 2019, the latest report that names Mali's licensed companies (eight non-life, four life). All five rows matched and four class codes corrected from composite to general, since the supervisor licenses life and non-life separately; seven companies added. No row removed: the named list is from 2019, and the DNTCP's own 2023 annual report counts thirteen licensed companies for 2022 without naming them, so the register is not current enough to establish a departure.
