Bahrain
Bahrain serves as a regional base for international insurers, with a sector regulated by the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) as a single regulator since 2002. The CBB differentiates between captive and commercial insurers, offering lower capital and solvency requirements for captives provided they do not include third-party liability risks. The domicile is supported by a large pool of brokers, actuaries, and insurance managers.
