“These synergies will go a long way in placing Tanzania on a higher pedestal in as far insurance penetration is concerned,” he said.

This is the fourth acquisition to be completed as part of an agreement announced on Sept. 29, 2020, when Allianz agreed to acquire the majority shareholding in the short-term general (property/casualty) insurance business operations of JHL in five countries in Africa: Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and Mauritius.
