Twenty-three out of Ghana’s 25 non-life underwriting companies closed the first quarter with an income of GH¢226.3 million.
The income was earned as the April 1 2014 deadline for the implementation of the “No Premium, No Cover” policy drew near.
The income of two non-life companies -- WAPIC insurance Ghana and Provident Insurance -- could not be obtained before going to press.
Top earners at the close of the first quarter still remained the top-five, which include SIC Insurance, Metropolitan Insurance Company. Vanguard Assurance, Star Assurance and Enterprise Insurance.
The top five non-life insurers earned about 64.4% of the total earnings in the first quarter, while the table turned amongst lower income earners.
Equity Assurance and Saham Insurance improved on their earnings in the first quarter.
Most insurers B&FT spoke to said they expect a dip in income in the second quarter. “We will only see the true picture of our earnings from the second quarter which ended in June,” said one insurance practitioner.
