| Disclosure of general information about reporting entity [abstract] | ||
| Disclosure of general information about reporting entity [text block] | The Mediterranean and Gulf Cooperative Insurance and Reinsurance Company (the “Company”) is a Saudi Joint Stock Company registered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under Commercial Registration No. 1010231925 dated 8 Rabi Thani 1428H (corresponding to 26 April 2007). The registered address of the Company's head office is as follows:Medgulf InsuranceFuturo TowerKing Saud RoadP.O. Box 2302Riyadh 11451, Saudi ArabiaThe objectives of the Company are to transact in cooperative insurance and reinsurance business and related activities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Its principal lines of business include medical, motor and other general insurance. The Company was listed on the Saudi Arabian Stock Exchange (Tadawul) on 28 Rabi Al-Awal 1428H (corresponding to 16 April 2007). | |
| Disclosure of basis of preparation of financial statements [text block] | The interim condensed statement of financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows of the insurance operations and shareholders’ operations which are presented in note 23 of the interim condensed financial information have been provided as supplementary financial information to comply with the requirements of the guidelines issued by SAMA implementing regulations. SAMA implementing regulations requires the clear segregation of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the insurance operations and the shareholders’ operations. Accordingly, the statements of financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows prepared for the insurance operations and shareholders operations as referred to above, reflect only the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and comprehensive gains or losses of the respective operations.In preparing the Company-level financial statements in compliance with IFRS, the balances and transactions of the insurance operations are amalgamated and combined with those of the shareholders’ operations. Interoperation balances, transactions and unrealised gains or losses, if any, are eliminated in full during amalgamation. The accounting policies adopted for the insurance operations and shareholders’ operations are uniform for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.The Company is yet to meet its solvency margin requirement.The Board resolved at 18 December 2019 to reduce statutory reserve amounting to SAR 120 million against the accumulated losses which had been approved in Annual General Assembly meeting held on 3 June 2020 and adjusted accordingly. Further the Board of directors in their meeting held on 6 October 2020, recommended to reduce share capital by SAR 100 million and to increase share capital by SAR 350 million, the capital reduction and right issue is subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities and general assembly of the CompanyManagement has performed an assessment of its going concern assumption under different scenarios. Based on the underlying cash flow projections under such scenarios, management believes that the Company will be able to continue the business and meet its obligations as and when they fall due over the next 12 months. As a result, the interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Management`s assessment is based on number of estimates and assumptions including significant recoveries from major policyholders, reinsurers and related parties and other cost saving measures..SAMA had previously issued a letter number 391000054425 dated 29 January 2018, preventing the Company from writing any new policies and renewing the existing policies since the Company did not meet the vency margin requirements as at 31 December 2017. SAMA, in its aforesaid letter, also instructed the Company to increase its share capital before 30 July 2018 to address the issue of its deteriorating solvency margin. The Company’s Board of Directors in their meeting held on 6 February 2018, recommended a right issue amounting to SAR 400 million in order to improve the solvency margin and the Company’s future business activities. Such right issue was subjected to approval of the regulatory authorities and general assembly of the Company. SAMA later issued a letter dated 15 April 2018 allowing the Company to write new policies and renewing the existing policies starting from 17 April 2018 subject to certain conditions. | |
| Disclosure of new standards and amendments in standards [text block] | IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (including amendments to IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts) In July 2014, the IASB published IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The standard incorporates new classification and measurements requirements for financial assets, the introduction of an expected credit loss impairment model which will replace the incurred loss model of IAS 39, and new hedge accounting requirements. Under IFRS 9, all financial assets will be measured at either amortised cost or fair value. The basis of classification will depend on the business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The standard retains most of IAS 39’s requirements for financial liabilities except for those designated at fair value through profit or loss whereby that part of the fair value changes attributable to own credit is to be recognised in other comprehensive income instead of the income statement. The hedge accounting requirements are more closely aligned with risk management practices and follow a more principle based approach.In September 2016, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts that address the accounting consequences of the application of IFRS 9 to insurers prior to the publication of the forthcoming accounting standard for insurance contracts. The amendments introduce two options for insurers: the deferral approach and the overlay approach. The deferral approach provides an entity, if eligible, with a temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 until the earlier of the effective date of a new insurance contract standard or 2022.The overlay approach allows an entity to remove from profit or loss the effects of some of the accounting mismatches that may occur before the new insurance contracts standard is applied.The Company is eligible and have chosen to apply the deferral approach under the amendments to IFRS 4. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 on the Company’s financial information will, to a large extent, have to take into account the interaction with the forthcoming insurance contracts standard. As such, it is not possible to fully assess the effect of the adoption of IFRS 9.IFRS 17 - “Insurance Contracts”, applicable for the period beginning on or after 1 January 2023, and will supersede IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”. Earlier adoption permitted if both IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' and IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' have also been applied. The Company expects a material impact on measurement and disclosure of insurance and reinsurance that will affect both the income statement and the balance sheet. The Company has decided not to early adopt this new standard. | |
