Abdel Ruhomutally : «La sous-assurance est une bombe Ă retardement pour lâĂ©conomie»
11 August 2026 business-magazine

Ă lâheure oĂč le secteur de lâassurance fait face Ă de profondes mutations, Abdel Ruhomutally, Managing Director de GFA Insurance, ne mĂąche pas ses mots. Il porte un regard sans concession sur un marchĂ© quâil juge encore freinĂ© par les lenteurs rĂ©glementaires, certaines pratiques anticoncurrentielles et un manque dâaudace dans les rĂ©formes. Ă la tĂȘte dâune compagnie qui cĂ©lĂšbre ses 30 ans cette annĂ©e, Abdel Ruhomutally revendique surtout une ligne de conduite : dĂ©fendre un «level playing field» dans lâindustrie, bousculer les situations acquises et replacer le consommateur au centre du jeu.
