Consolidated revenue reached 7.88 billion dirhams, representing a 10.3% year-on-year increase.

In detail, non-life insurance generated social revenue of 3.57 billion dirhams, up 10.7%, supported by both corporate and retail clients. The unit’s profit surged 41.5% to 353 million dirhams.
Life insurance revenue reached 3.05 billion dirhams, up 4.5%, while profit advanced 36.8% to 391 million dirhams. Management cited stronger commercial momentum and favorable financial conditions.
Parallel to operational growth, Wafa Assurance reinforced its financial position. Group shareholders’ equity stood at 14.3 billion dirhams at end-June, a 13.8% increase compared with December 2024.
