FT reports Saudi authorities have discussed with London brokers a state-backed war and political-risk insurance scheme to cover regional vessels after conflict threatened Saudi trade. The finance ministry is studying a pooled plan to insure ships and maritime cargo at lower cost, offering up to SAR700m (about $186m) of commercial cover per event. Insurers and reinsurers would supply a first layer of cover; a state-backed backstop via the state-owned Saudi Export-Import Bank would provide insured entities with several hundred million dollars of additional protection. Saudi Re and Riyadh Re are expected to lead a reinsurer consortium under discussion, which may include international firms.
