In particular, SAMA is authorized to regulate insurance activities as follows: a- To administer and approve the rules for the investment and maintenance of insurance and re-insurance premiums, investments and reserves and to establish a formula by which profits of insurance and re-insurance operations will be distributed among the shareholders and policyholders of insurance and re-insurance companies, which formula must take into account the separate account values of the shareholders, policy holders, and the general needs of such company s insurance operations. b- Specifying the amount of capital that an insurance or re-insurance company must deposit in a bank licensed to engage in business in Saudi Arabia, before commencing various insurance activities. c- Reviewing and approving the text of insurance and re-insurance policy forms and identifying the minimum amounts of third party liability coverage that must be provided in accordance with relevant law. 1/7

The staff of an insurance or re-insurance company which is being audited by SAMA shall provide SAMA staff and any SAMA designated auditors with all data, records or documents which such staff have under their control or any other information regarding the insurance or re-insurance company under audit. Article 9: Without the prior written approval of SAMA, insurance and re-insurance companies may not open up any branch or offices, either inside or outside of Saudi Arabia, enter into any agreements or formalities to merge, or to acquire any interest or control in any other insurance or banking operation or acquire any interest in any insurance or re-insurance company.
