CBUAE prohibits takaful insurer from issuing new contracts

The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has issued a prohibition order against a takaful insurer, effective immediately, preventing it from underwriting any new insurance contracts. This affects policyholders seeking new takaful coverage and the insurer's distribution partners. Existing policyholders should contact their broker or the CBUAE for guidance on coverage continuity; new applicants must seek alternative takaful providers.
