An insurance intermediary should recommend, in the first instance, a policy from a CBB licensed insurer (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be an overseas insurance firm) that he considers best suited to the needs of his client, and offering ease of client service, claims handling, etc. Paragraph BC-2.6.4 covers the situation where an insurance intermediary proposes use of an overseas insurer not licensed or incorporated in Bahrain, because of the lack of availability of local cover.
