Egger was attending a press conference in Dubai announcing Takaful Emarat’s launch of a suite of new products to boost its market share in the UAE. “Takaful Emarat’s three new life saving plans cover education, general savings and wealth management,” said Ghassan Marrouche, GM at Takaful Emarat. According to Marrouche, Takaful Emarat plans to generate AED65m ($17.7m) gross written premiums this year. “In order to serve the needs of high net worth individuals, we developed the ‘Wealth Plan’ suite, which allows customers to participate in a wide range of Shari’ah compliant funds in addition to Takaful protection,” Marrouche explained.
