PartialPartially verified against the BNR register, checked 2 Sept 2026.
The BNR register for Rwanda as the directory holds it: 14 licensed insurers with the identifiers the register carries, ready to export as JSON.
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
