The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) announced updating the Unified Compulsory Motor Insurance Policy. This comes based on the authority vested in SAMA according to the Insurance Control Law as well as in line with its continuous efforts to develop the insurance sector and to protect the rights of the insureds and the beneficiaries of the insurance coverage.

SAMA clarified that these amendments include the policy definitions and its appendixes in accordance to the on-going developments of the Insurance Industry, as well as updating the exceptions and transferring some of the right of recovery cases. The amendments also allow for an option where the third party is entitled to choose between a direct cash compensation, or to get the damaged vehicle repaired. It is worth noting that this update comes as part of SAMA's endeavor to efficiently develop and facilitate traffic claim settlement procedures and to protect the rights of the parties of the insurance contract.
