IGI - International General Insurance Co. Ltd.'s premium income has almost doubled since it listed in 2020, but how can growth still be achieved in a soft market? President and CEO Waleed Jabsheh tells Behind the Headlines that there is still fertile ground to expand its ‘relatively small’ reinsurance portfolio, and that the company is targeting specialty treaty business. But as the soft pricing cycle ramps up, the executive said that he is prepared to walk away from inadequately priced business, and underwriting profitability will always come first.
