The number of insurance companies in Iraq reached (34) companies, including three public insurance companies while the rest
are insurance companies belonging to the private sector. The total assets of the three public companies amounted to 147,727.7

Although the reinsurance company has its assets 42% of the group of public companies, but the profits rate is low and this is due
to several reasons, the most important of which is the lack of branches to this company.
