The licenses of Royal Sıgorta and Gunay Sıgorta insurance companies were suspended in line with a decision, taken by Azerbaijani Finance Ministry on February 24.
Six months were allocated in accordance with the insurance legislation's requirements to address the shortcomings in these companies' activities, which caused the suspension of their licenses.
Royal Sigorta and Gunay Sigorta will be able to reinstate their licenses if they align their aggregate capital with Finance Ministry's minimum requirement.
The minimum amount of total capital of insurers, operating in the non-life insurance sector, is set at the level of five million manats.
The only reinsurance company AzRe's statistical indices are not indicated in Azerbaijani Finance Ministry's report.
