UAE insurers continue to recover from 2024 rains, post 52% jump in H1 2025 profits
The UAE insurance industry continued its recovery path after the stress scenario of the unprecedented April 2024 rains, as insurers' net profit jumped 54 per cent to Dh2 billion in the first half of 2025, according to Badri Management Consultancy. The increase in profitability was supported by sustained premium rate increases and improved risk‐based pricing. Industry insurance revenue grew by 19 per cent, reaching Dh24.2 billion in the first half of 2025, compared to Dh20.3 billion in the same period last year. This reflects the continuation of favourable underwriting conditions across major business lines, particularly motor and medical. In April last year, unprecedented rains caused huge losses to UAE insurance companies in terms of motor and property damage. It is estimated that the losses ran into billions of dirhams. To cope with this challenge, insurers increased premiums to offset the losses. According to Badri, the leading five companies continued to consolidate their positions, accounting for Dh1.3 billion of the overall insurance service result — up 31 per cent from the prior year. This increasing concentration underlines the growing importance of scale and operational efficiency in the UAE market. Hatim Maskawala, managing director of Badri Management Consultancy, said there has been pressure on insurance companies for not meeting solvency requirements, as some companies recently announced increases in capital. 'Looking ahead, gradual rate improvements coupled with the Central Bank of the UAE's enhanced market oversight are expected to continue supporting technical margins and discouraging underpriced policies. However, insurers need to remain cautious of potential rises in reinsurance costs and deferred impacts of treaty renewals. With a greater proportion of profitability stemming from insurance services, the industry's long-term sustainability will increasingly depend on maintaining underwriting discipline and strengthening claims management practices,' added Maskawala. Some of the insurance companies that reported losses in their net insurance results managed to mitigate the impact through investment income. In total, six out of 26 companies reported negative insurance results. Of these, five still generated a net profit. Union Insurance Company announced a 76 per cent increase in net profit for the first half of 2025 compared to the same period last year, reaching Dh22.7 million, driven by excellent underwriting results, cost efficiencies, and an increase in investment revenue. Net underwriting results also increased by 93 per cent, reaching Dh11.07 million in H1 2025 compared to Dh5.7 million in the first half of 2024. The company's solvency reached 170 per cent in H1 2025, compared to 143 per cent reported for the year 2024 — exceeding regulatory requirements. Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company (Adnic) reported a net profit before tax of Dh261.2 million, an increase of 16.5 per cent year-on-year, driven by solid contributions across all core segments. It recorded gross written premiums of Dh5.539 billion, marking a 25.7 per cent year-on-year increase. Charalampos Mylonas, CEO of Adnic, attributed the strong results to disciplined cost management and forward-looking innovation initiatives, enabling the firm to adapt to evolving market conditions and seize new opportunities. The Dubai-listed Takaful provider Salama posted a net profit of Dh8.25 million during January–June 2025, driven by Dh7.86 million profit in Q2 2025 — a substantial increase from Dh2.95 million in Q2 2024. Takaful revenue was recorded at Dh515.36 million in the first six months of 2025, compared to Dh528.59 million in the same period of 2024.

India's Modi announces new defence system 'Sudarshan Chakra', tax cuts on Independence Day
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the country on Friday to move towards more self-reliance, manufacture everything from fertilisers to jet engines and EV batteries, and vowed to protect farmers in the face of a trade conflict with Washington. With tariffs imposed on Indian exports by US President Donald Trump expected to hurt growth in the world's fastest growing major economy, Modi announced lower goods and services taxes (GST) from October, a move that could help boost consumption. He also announced India would set up a new defence system called 'Sudarshan Chakra'. He did not elaborate but a government statement said the system is aimed at neutralising enemy infiltrations and enhancing India's offensive capabilities. Indian defence and policy circles have informally referred to the Russian S-400 air defence system, which played a key role during the fighting with Pakistan, as Sudarshan Chakra, after a weapon referred to in Hindu texts. Modi was addressing the nation on the occasion of its Independence Day at a time New Delhi has been struggling with Trump's tariffs and the collapse of trade talks, largely due to differences over imports of American farm and dairy products. "Farmers, fishermen, cattle rearers are our top priorities," Modi said in his customary annual address from the ramparts of the Red Fort in New Delhi. "Modi will stand like a wall against any policy that threatens their interests. India will never compromise when it comes to protecting the interests of our farmers," he said. Modi did not mention the tariffs or the US in his speech that lasted nearly two hours. Last week, Trump imposed an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, citing New Delhi's continued imports of Russian oil in a move that sharply escalated tensions between the two nations. The new import tax will raise duties on some Indian exports to as high as 50 per cent, among the highest levied on any US trading partner. Modi has never spoken about the tariffs directly, only alluding to them in a speech last week, where he swore to protect the interests of farmers, even if it came at a personal price. Farmers are a key political constituency in India and they violently protested against Modi's last big push to reform the sector, forcing him to repeal three farm laws in 2021 in what was a rare defeat for him. Tax cuts to boost consumption Although local manufacturing and self-reliance have been Modi's key focus areas for years now, the push is seen to have gained urgency amid ongoing global trade tensions and supply chain disruptions. "The need of the hour is to take a resolve for building a strong India ... I want our traders, shopkeepers to display boards for 'Swadeshi' products," Modi said, using the Hindi word for made in India goods. He said made-in-India semiconductor chips would hit the market by the end of this year and that India was pushing for self-reliance in producing critical minerals with exploration underway at more than 1,200 locations. Trump's tariffs threaten to disrupt India's access to its largest export market, where shipments totalled nearly $87 billion in 2024, hitting sectors like textiles, footwear, shrimp, gems and jewellery. In retaliation, some supporters of Modi have sought to stoke anti-American sentiment and called for a boycott of US companies such as McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Amazon and Apple. Trade talks between New Delhi and Washington collapsed after five rounds of negotiations over disagreement on opening India's vast farm and dairy sectors and stopping Russian oil purchases. Modi's promise to cut GST by October's Diwali festival, which encompasses one of India's biggest shopping seasons, follows previous commitments to overhaul it by reducing the number of rate brackets under the 2017 tax regime. A group of ministers have been preparing a report that will consider merging tax slabs and lowering rates on some products. In February, India cut personal income tax for some individuals to boost spending. Earlier this month, the central bank kept interest rates steady, following a 100 basis point cut this year so far. The government has proposed to the ministers' panel that it recommend reducing taxes on mass use items as well as on goods used by women, students and farmers to boost consumption and enhance affordability, the finance ministry said in an X post. The government will move towards making GST a simple tax with two rate slabs, one standard and another merit, it said. Special rates will be applicable only for a few select items.

Copper slips on worries over weak Chinese data
Copper prices eased on Friday on gloomy economic data from top metals consumer China, though losses were cushioned by a weaker dollar and hopes the data would spur Beijing to unleash more stimulus measures. Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange fell 0.4% to $9,730 a metric ton in official open-outcry trading, down from a two-week peak hit on Tuesday. Data on Friday showed that China's factory output growth slumped to an eight-month low in July while retail sales slowed sharply. The copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange eased 0.1% to 79,060 yuan ($11,008.23) a ton. "In the context of base metals, these indicators suggest a subdued demand environment, likely weighing on metal consumption and prices amid concerns of a slowing Chinese economy," said Neil Welsh, head of metals at Britannia Global Markets. Prices were supported, however, by hopes that the weak data would raise pressure on Chinese policymakers to roll out more stimulus to revive domestic demand. Also bolstering the market was a softer dollar as investors remained cautious about the interest rate outlook ahead of import price data. A decline in the dollar makes commodities priced in the U.S. currency less expensive for buyers using other currencies. U.S. Comex copper futures fell 0.1% to $4.48 per lb by 1225 GMT, bringing the Comex premium over LME copper to $127 a ton or 1.3%. Among other metals, LME aluminium shed 0.7% in official activity to $2,601.50 a ton, zinc lost 1.3% to $2,813 and lead slipped 0.3% to $1,984 while nickel was up 0.3% at $15,075 and tin firmed by 0.3% to $33,550.
