Governing legislation

  • Palestine · PCMA · National jurisdiction

    Capital Market Authority Law 13/2004 and Insurance Law 20/2005.

  • Yemen · published ministry remit · National jurisdiction

    The Ministry of Economy, Industry and Investment portal assigns regulation and oversight of commercial insurers and reinsurers to the ministry. Territorial implementation and the appropriate current authority require confirmation.

Verification log

Two of the three jurisdictions were reconciled against their own supervisors. Palestine: the PCMA's 2026 list of operating insurance companies confirmed six rows, corrected three from composite to general because their licences carry no life branch, and added seven companies including one in run-off. Syria: the Insurance Supervisory Commission's company directory confirmed four rows and added nine, with licence numbers. Yemen: no supervisor publishes a list of licensed insurers that could be retrieved, so the four Yemeni rows are unchanged and unverified, and the market stays partially verified for that reason.
