Malaysian Re and Pacific Life Re have extended their memorandum of understanding (MoU) for offering sustainable (re)takaful solutions.
This MoU targets operators of takaful, a type of insurance, which is based on Islamic religious law.
The extension of the MoU, first established in 2019, was signed by Malaysian Re president and CEO Ahmad Noor Azhari Abdul Manaf, and Pacific Life Re managing Director of protection in Asia Vasan Errakiah.
Since the inception of this partnership, Malaysian Re Retakaful Division (MRRD), a unit of Malaysian Re has utilised Pacific Life Re’s experience and technological solutions from UnderwriteMe to enhance family (re)takaful offerings.
UnderwriteMe is a fully owned subsidiary of Pacific Life Re.
The collaboration is also said to have facilitated an exchange of knowledge, particularly in technical and shariah-compliant practices.
