Continental Reinsurance Opens Office in Kigali, Rwanda

Continental Reinsurance has been granted a license by the National Bank of Rwanda to establish a Representative Office in Kigali, Rwanda, effective August 10, 2026. The office will operate under the name Continental Reinsurance Limited and aims to deepen the company's presence in the East African market.

Kevin Mworia, Managing Director of Continental Reinsurance, stated that the Representative Office will serve as a local liaison and market-development presence, enhancing engagement with insurers, reinsurance brokers, and industry stakeholders in Rwanda. Mworia emphasized that this initiative complements the underwriting and technical capacity provided through the company's East Africa operations, allowing for closer client interactions and more responsive local support.

He described Rwanda as a dynamic and well-governed insurance market, reflecting Continental Re's long-term commitment to East Africa. A dedicated local representative will be introduced in the coming weeks to facilitate direct access to the company's teams and solutions for clients and partners.
