A.M. Best Europe – Rating Services Limited has revised the outlook to stable from positive and affirmed the financial strength rating of C++ (Marginal) and the issuer credit rating of “b” of Boubyan Takaful Insurance Company (Kuwait). The revised outlook reflects Boubyan’s decision not to ring-fence assets in favour of policyholders. The risk-adjusted capitalisation of Boubyan’s policyholders’ fund remains weak. Additionally, recent management turnover adds uncertainty to the future performance of the company. Boubyan has experienced volatile operating results and is a small player in the Kuwaiti market. Concurrently, A.M. Best has withdrawn the ratings as the company has requested to no longer participate in A.M. Best’s interactive rating process.

Boubyan Takaful Insurance Company signed a consulting services agreement with Protiviti for Risk Management aimed at supporting the Company's development.
Protiviti will determine the areas of focus and expand them with the management of Boubyan Takaful Insurance to include them within the services of the company, which will make sure that it is working according to the highest standards. The company will also designate a clear risk management, assessment and control strategy and launch an awareness campaign about risk for all its staff members.
