About GIG Gulf
GIG Gulf is an insurance company operating in the UAE and other Gulf countries. It was formerly known as AXA Gulf and became part of Gulf Insurance Group (GIG), based in Kuwait, after GIG acquired AXA's Gulf businesses.
The company offers insurance for individuals and businesses, including motor, health, home, travel and life cover, along with commercial insurance such as property, liability and employee benefits.
Health insurance is a major line, given the mandatory medical cover requirements in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and the large number of employers buying group plans.
Motor insurance is another significant product, with policies required for all vehicles.
The change from AXA to GIG brought the business under regional ownership, with GIG being one of the largest insurance groups in the Middle East.
Insurers in the UAE are regulated by the Central Bank, which sets requirements for solvency and consumer protection.
