Retakaful

Retakaful is primarily accessible to Takaful companies through retakaful windows within established reinsurance firms. Several standalone retakaful companies, launched in the late 1990s to early 2000s, struggled to amass sufficient reserves, as the Takaful industry was still in its infancy.

The industry urgently needs enhanced retakaful capacity. Initiatives to establish retakaful companies with substantial capital bases are crucial to provide highly-rated risk security for the future expansion of both general Takaful and family Takaful sectors for underwriting big-ticket risks. This will ensure robust and sustainable growth, meeting the diverse needs of the market.
