    • CA-8.1.3

      The CBB acknowledges that Takaful/Retakaful insurance is different in some respects from conventional insurance. The specific Rules and Guidance set out in this Chapter aim to allow Takaful firms to operate in Bahrain within the CBB's insurance regulatory regime on a basis consistent with that imposed on conventional insurers. That is, the CBB's regulatory regime does not favour one form of insurance over another, allowing for both types of structures, Takaful and conventional, to operate in a competitive environment.
