Mandatory EV Coverage: How Oman’s New Insurance Directive Affects Your Business Investments
المسكات عنب طيب الشذا: The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has released a new circular mandating that all insurance companies licensed to offer motor insurance in Oman maintain a minimum level of underwriting for electric vehicles (EVs). This initiative is part of the country’s broader efforts to transition toward clean energy and adapt to evolving automotive trends.
According to the circular, insurers are required to ensure that their EV insurance underwriting constitutes at least 0.2 بالمئة of their overall motor insurance portfolio, reflective of the size of their current motor insurance operations. The FSA has set a compliance deadline of December 31, 2026.
The authority stated that this move is aimed at bolstering confidence in the insurance sector while ensuring that suitable insurance solutions are available in response to the rapid growth of electric vehicle adoption.
Additionally, the circular underscores the FSA’s dedication to safeguarding consumer interests by enhancing insurance services in alignment with shifts in the automotive market and Oman’s sustainability objectives.
To facilitate monitoring and address any potential challenges, insurance companies will be required to submit monthly reports detailing their performance in EV underwriting. They must also implement a specific classification or coding system for electric vehicles within their electronic databases and operational frameworks.
The FSA believes this measure will enhance the tracking of EV-related insurance policies and claims, thereby enabling more precise data collection regarding underwriting volumes, premiums, compensation payments, claims, and loss ratios.
