The Mediterranean and Gulf Insurance and Reinsurance Co. (MedGulf) applied on Dec. 17, 2020, for the approval of the Capital Market Authority (CMA) on the capital decrease, the insurer said in a bourse filing.
The insurer obtained, on Dec. 9, the Saudi Central Bank’s (SAMA) approval for its planned SAR 100 million capital cut.
