The Insurance and Reinsurance have always played a vital role in managing risks and providing financial protection to individuals, companies and institutions. This role is so crucial nowadays that it has become impossible for the insurance company to be solely responsible for compensation, regardless of the amount of capital and reserves held. Therefore, the need for reinsurers is increasing day by day, mainly due to the increase in the volume of risks and the emergence of new ones, which allows to share with the insurer the financial consequences resulting from the risks, give the required flexibility to underwrite, and provide a stable amount of profits.

Since the role of the reinsurer is not only limited to participating in paying the required compensation, but to achieve profits as well, in order to ensure the necessary protection, Arab Reinsurance Company, throughout its long path, has proven to be able to play this role to the fullest. Indeed,  its precedence in paying claims, regardless of their volume, in addition to providing a high level of expertise to its clients,  allowed it to weave historical relationships with them and gain their trust and respect.

Fifty years have passed since the establishment of Arab Reinsurance Company s.a.l. (Inter-Arab Company), on 11/3/1972, following a recommendation by the General Arab Insurance Federation during its fifth conference, which was held in Kuwait in 1969. It was the first specialized reinsurance company in Lebanon, established by a unified Arab will, and with an Arab capital amounting to two million sterling pounds, and by a large number of shareholders with different Arab identities from both private and government sectors.The Lebanese Civil War, which began in 1975 and continued for fifteen years, disturbed the company's takeoff, preventing it from achieving its desired growth and objectives. Despite this, the company continued to carry out its activities from Lebanon, rejecting the many temptations that were offered to it to move it abroad, in order to avoid its participation in a scheme aimed at emptying Lebanon of its institutions, and thus weakening the Lebanese economy, which is considered part of the Arab economy. It was also able to overcome the subsequent security conjoncture that afflicted Lebanon, and the negative effects of the prevailing situation in the country at all levels. Furthermore, the entity of the company was protected from the instability that affected many institutions operating in the insurance and banking sectors.
