STAR stock: Premiums rise 9.3 percent through September

STAR Assurances reported stronger business in the first nine months of 2026, with growth led by life insurance and a broad increase in written premiums. The figures were published on October 28, 2026, and reported by Atlas Mag.

Premium growth broadens across segments

Turnover reached 389.955 million Tunisian dinars for the nine months to September 30, up 9.3 percent from the same period a year earlier. Non-life written premiums rose 7.9 percent to 341.494 million Tunisian dinars, while life premiums increased 20.6 percent to 48.461 million Tunisian dinars.

Claims paid rose 0.6 percent to 209.537 million Tunisian dinars. Investment income reached 87.922 million Tunisian dinars, an increase of 1.4 percent from the end of September 2025.

Growth matters for investors

The figures point to stronger premium generation without a comparable increase in claims paid. For investors, the mix of life growth, resilient non-life activity and modestly higher investment income will be relevant when STAR reports its full-year performance.

Business model and market position

STAR Assurances provides insurance services in Tunisia across products including motor, home, travel and life insurance. The company also offers digital services such as the My STAR application and STARCONNECT telematics solution.

STAR's corporate website describes the insurer as a leader in the Tunisian insurance market. Its broad product range and nationwide agency network position it as a diversified national insurer rather than a specialist focused on a single coverage line.

The Tunisian market backdrop remains relevant for the sector as investors assess premium growth, claims trends and investment income across listed insurers. Current market reports provide broader market coverage.
