Dear Insurance Industry Leader,
Leading industry players, thought leaders and key regulators in the international and regional Islamic insurance industry will take part in the Middle East Takaful Forum (METF 2012), which is scheduled for the 17th and 18th of October 2012 at the Gulf Hotel in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Held under the theme “Tackling the Profitability Challenge: Fresh Thinking for Islamic & Cooperative Insurance in the Middle East”, METF 2012, hosted under the official patronage of the Central Bank of Bahrain and supported by the Bahrain Insurance Association, will feature critical discussions that will play a key role in assisting key operators in the Middle East Takaful industry to overcome the profitability challenge and achieve sustainable underwriting profits.
Given the slowing growth of the Takaful industry in the Middle East and in Bahrain in particular, industry leaders will have to devise new strategies to generate further growth momentum and address critical success factors for cost reduction, operational efficiency and boosting profitability.
