Bermuda is on track for a good year in terms of insurance company registrations.
Statistics released by the Bermuda Monetary Authority reveal there have been 63 new registrations to date including two intermediaries, compared with a total of 65 last year, 55 in 2020 and 56 in 2019.
Five new insurance companies were confirmed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority last month, including Japex Insurance Ltd Class 1, Canal Re Ltd Restricted SPI, Veraison Ltd Restricted SPI, Pre Life Bermuda Re Ltd, a class 3B insurer, and Pride Global, a class 3 insurer.
According to the BMA, there were 12 insurance applications reviewed last month, comprising seven new applications and five applications carried forward. Of the 12 insurance applications, seven were approved by Insurance Assessment and Licensing Committee and five were deferred.
