Muscat Life Assurance rating affirmed (Source: Oman Tribune)  AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B+ (Good) and the Long‐Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb‐” of Muscat Life p y ((MLAC). ) The outlook of these Credit Ratings g ((ratings) g ) remains stable. Assurance Company  The ratings of Muscat Life Assurance reflect the company’s strong risk‐adjusted capitalisation and track record of good operating performance. Muscat Life Assurance’s very limited business profile in the Oman insurance market remains an offsetting rating factor.  The ratings of Muscat Life Assurance received rating enhancement as a result of its continued strategic importance to the Muscat National Holding Company group, inclusive of the strength of its affiliated company, Muscat Insurance Company.  Muscat Life Assurance’s strong risk‐adjusted capitalisation is supported by the company’s very low net underwriting leverage, with Muscat Life Assurance’s capital base remaining sufficient to support the company’s growth in underwriting risk in recent years.
