constantly strive to improve products and services that we
provide for our customers. In order to achieve this goal,
the competence, experience, attitude and aptitude of our
employees, business and distribution partners are essential
factors.

witnessing significant changes in the economic and political
environment, continued to build a prominent position in the
Egyptian insurance market. Allianz Egypt has been and will
continue to be committed to providing a wide spectrum
of internationally renowned products and services to the
Egyptian population, from the less fortunate to the most
affluent members of the society, from small enterprises to

With a bright and promising outlook on the future, Allianz
Egypt plans to strengthen the commitment to the Egyptian
insurance industry even further, and will continue to widen
the range of financial offerings. A variety of new products
and services is scheduled to be launched during the following
two years and we are determined to move closer to our
customers – in various ways. The number of Branches, Sales
and Service Centers and Preferred Partners all across the

country will continue to grow. Call center activities of the
future will include additional services to further improve

insurance brand in this year’s Brand Finance Global 500
ranking. Holding the pole position for three consecutive
years, it has become the only insurer to be included in the
top 50 of the world’s strongest brands in 2016.
As a result of Allianz’s strong premium growth, the
Group’s brand value increased by 8.1 percent, from 17
billion euros to 18.6 billion euros (20.3 billion dollars),
putting Allianz at number 43, among the top 500 global
brands (up from 44th place in 2015).
In the 2016 ranking, Brand Finance recognized Allianz’ s
resilience in a challenging environment and the Group’s
strong financial performance driven by its flagship brand,
‘customer centricity’ and ‘digital by default’ approach.
This made it also one of the most brand-driven financial
services companies in this year’s ranking.
Christian Deuringer, head of Global Brand Management
at Allianz, said: “this excellent ranking shows that our
flagship brand strategy as well as our clear focus on the
customer and on digitalization are building trust and
resonating with our customers around the globe. We
would like to thank them for their growing loyalty.”
Assessing the future potential of Allianz, Brand Finance
recognized that the Group’s customer-centric approach
is capable of driving value and building on existing scale.
It also considered the Allianz brand to be particularly
well-positioned to benefit from growth opportunities
presented by digitalization-driven changes in the
insurance sector.

Dr. Mohamed El Erian Discusses Global
Economy and Implications for Egypt
Allianz Chief Economic Advisor Dr. Mohamed
El-Erian was the guest speaker at a recent
event hosted by Allianz Egypt and the
American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt
on the topic of navigating today’s uncertain
global economy.
Dr. El-Erian is an internationally renowned
economist and financier. He is the Chief
Economic Advisor at Allianz, the corporate
parent of PIMCO, where he formerly served
as Chief Executive and Co-Chief Investment
Officer. He Chairs U.S. President Obama’s
Global Development Council, and has been
appointed to President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s
Coordinating Council on Monetary Policy.
In his speech, Dr. El Erian reflected on Egypt’s
economic situation, and described the “view
from outside of Egypt”.
He explained that some approaches to
managing the economy have become
obsolete. “Egypt operates today at a common
intersection of four unusually fluid circles;
Economics, Policy, Politics and Geo-Politics,
and Markets. All four are extremely uncertain;
and the intersection is even more so.” Said
Dr. El-Erian.
The event found a great level of recognition
and a high level of interest; around 750 guests
attended the event, making it the biggest
attraction of any AmCham event. Allianz
Egypt takes pride in hosting intelectual figures
like Dr. El Erian, and will be arranging to host
him, and other inspiring figures, in the near
future.

Italy. They were also champions of the Arab Youth Championship in Saudi Arabia
in November last year. This year, the team once again. won the tournament.
“At Allianz Egypt, we pursue partnerships with organizations that share our
commitment to quality and excellence,” said Mr. Udo Krueger, Chairman and
CEO of Allianz Egypt. “We are focused on community value as well as business
relevance, forging relationships with partners who support and educate future
generations.“
As further support, Allianz Egypt hosted the team at the Allianz Head Office for
an early lunch, and provided the entire team with safety insurance policies .

Allianz Egypt has launched the Universal
Life Platform (ULP); a type of Life Assurance

designed to allow clients to accumulate
savings at the end of a policy through
regular and optional premium payments,

make a premium payment, while still
maintaining the insurance coverage, are
some of the features that distinguish ULP.
ULP products include programs for retirement,
education, family protection, financial planning,

provides optional protection against female
illnesses and increasing coverage in the case
