DUBAI — Shaikh Faisal bin Khalid Sultan Al Qassemi, chairman of Al Buhaira National Insurance Co (ABNIC), has said that the shareholders have decided in a extra ordinary general meeting to allow GCC citizens and foreigners to have limited ownership of ABNIC share capital — a maximum 49 per cent for GCC citizens and 25 per cent for foreigners — provided UAE nationals maintain 51 per cent of the company shares.
The Ministry of Economy has authorised ABNIC to amend the company's articles of association. Shaikh Faisal emphasised that such a decision was taken in line with the international economic changes and UAE's future international agreements.
