00:00Artificial intelligence has now become one of the main tools in the implementation of business in all sectors, not just the insurance sector.
00:09What we aim to do through this forum this year, in the third edition of the Middle East Insurance Technology Forum,
00:16is to enhance investment in these companies, as well as on the other hand,
00:20to introduce the insurance sector to the new tools in the insurance industry through artificial intelligence
00:28and how it makes it easier to provide better insurance services to customers,
00:34as well as administratively to the internal management of these companies.
00:39There is no doubt that this transformation is not a momentary one.
00:43It needs a journey to prepare the staff, the strategies of these companies,
00:51and the thinking and awareness through the application of artificial intelligence in the insurance sector.
00:58The forum in its third edition, brother Salim, what has changed in the level of attendance,
01:03in the level of topics of discussion, in the scope of expansion, and what is expected in the coming rounds?
01:09During this year, we witnessed in the third edition of the Middle East Insurance Technology Forum,
01:16participants from all countries, from 36 countries participated in the forum,
01:231,500 participants.
01:25In comparison with the first edition, there were only 100 participants,
01:30and today we are talking about 1,500 participants in the forum of the Middle East Insurance Technology Forum,
01:35which reflects the extent of the impact of the insurance industry,
01:40and the impact of this forum in attracting talent and companies,
01:45as well as attracting investment governors to invest in these companies.
01:50We have seen that the Central Bank of Qatar has taken a step in the financial technology related to the insurance sector,
01:56and now there is an initiative, a real initiative, even if it is an experimental one.
02:00To what extent do you think the financial technology related to the insurance sector in Qatar will go?
02:06I think that the financial sector in banks and insurance companies are facing one currency,
02:11and that the application and initiatives that the Central Bank is carrying out now in the State of Qatar
02:17is a very good and excellent initiative that facilitates and, let's say,
02:24levels the ground for these companies in applying the new standards,
02:29in applying the technology, and integrating it into the business of the companies.
02:34I can't meet you unless you tell me about the results.
02:36The first year was good, better than expected.
02:39The willingness was active, first of all, in the process and also the investment.
02:45Is the next quarter this year?
02:47I think that the reading of the market during the next period,
02:55and what was announced in the first quarter,
02:58indicates that the insurance sector is facing, let's say, positive results,
03:06and I think that 2024 will bear positive results for insurance companies, God willing.
03:14Your interviews in the foreign markets increased the volume of willingness and, therefore, the support for profitability.
03:19I think that we have focused on the direct insurance sector during the company's strategy in the last three years,
03:27and we have now started to reap the fruits of this strategy.
03:32Businesses have expanded in the Middle East,
03:35especially in the region where Qatar Insurance Group operates,
03:41through its own companies in Oman, UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar.
03:46The oil and gas sector in Qatar was one of the sectors,
03:51and it is still the first initiative to run the insurance sector in the region.
03:58I think that Qatar Insurance Group's investments during 2023 have reflected in the results of 2024.
04:07In the first quarter, Qatar Insurance Group announced the growth of business compared to previous years.
04:19Qatar Insurance Group was working to reduce exposure in the international market
04:24and increase business in the Middle East.
04:28I think that it was very clear in the results of the first quarter
04:33that Qatar Insurance Group was able to advance in the size of business in the region
04:38and write direct business through the companies of Qatar Insurance Group.
