A.M. Best Affirms Ratings Of General Insurance Corporation Of India (GIC Re)
A.M. Best has affirmed the financial strength rating of A- (Excellent) and the issuer credit rating of "a-" of General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC Re) (India). The outlook for both ratings is stable.
The outlook for both ratings is stable.
The ratings reflect GIC Re's solid risk-adjusted capitalization, consistently favorable investment results and its strong presence in the Indian and overseas reinsurance markets. GIC Re's capital and surplus increased by approximately 20% for fiscal year 2013-2014. The growth was supported by the company's consistent and favorable investment results. GIC Re's risk-adjusted capitalization level remains strong and is supportive of its current rating level.
GIC Re had a strong presence in India's insurance market as the sole national re insurer, and continues to expand its business overseas, including Asia, Europe and Africa. Approximately half of the premium is generated abroad for fiscal year 2013-2014.
Offsetting these positive rating factors are GIC Re's high exposure to equity market volatility, increasing catastrophe exposures and unsatisfactory underwriting performance. Equity investment risk remains one of the key components in GIC Re's risk-based capital requirement. Equity investments were approximately 80% of its reported surplus. The adverse movement in India equity market can have material impact on GIC Re's Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR) score.
GIC Re's catastrophe exposure has increased in recent years as a result of the growth in its domestic and overseas business. In the past five years, catastrophe losses had added volatility to the underwriting performance of the company.
Future upward rating actions could occur if GIC Re demonstrates the ability to achieve consistently favorable underwriting performance and strengthen its investment and catastrophe risk management capability. Conversely, downward rating actions could occur if the company's risk-adjusted capitalization declines materially as a result of unsatisfactory operating performance or a decline in its fair value change account.

CARE affirms AAA (In) Claims Paying Ability rating to General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC Re)
The rating factors in GIC Re’s 100% ownership by Government of India (GOI), GIC Re’s status in the Indian Insurance industry as the sole national reinsurer, good solvency position and adequate liquidity. Ownership by GOI, solvency position and profitability are key rating sensitivities.

An International Reinsurance Hub-Why India Needs It
The Insurance Committee of The Indian Merchants’ Chamber (IMC), organized a Symposium on “An International Reinsurance Hub – Why India Needs It” on Thursday, January 17, 2013. Chairman of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance and former Union Finance Minister of India, Hon’ble Mr. Yashwant Sinha was present at this Symposium as Chief Guest.
The Symposium, was attended by leaders from the financial sector in India in general and insurance sector in particular, and world leaders in Reinsurance.
Mr Yashwant Sinha, in his address at the Symposium said on making the country a reinsurance hub, it was necessary to have an enabling legal framework to be put in place first.
"Despite the insurance sector being open to foreign investment, we don't have a single reinsurance company setting shop in the country. I think that the present amendments will not work and we need a new bill for this," he said.
Talking about the reinsurance sector, GIC Re CMD Ashok Roy said the country should have a favourable taxation regime for the general insurance space.
He also proposed that the government create special economic zones for developing the country as a reinsurance hub.
Chairman and Managing Director of New India Assurance Company Limited Mr. G Srinivasan said that foreign reinsurance companies should be governed by the same rules as the domestic re-insurers for a level playing field in this space.
Lloyd's Asia Managing Director Kent Chaplin said the company is hopeful that present insurance amendment bill will be passed in the Parliament and added that Lloyd’s is keen to open branches in the country.
At the time of opening up of the Indian insurance sector in the late nineties the prime objective was to capitalise on the then existing atmosphere of liberalisation across the globe for the benefit of the growing Indian Economy and transform it from a Developing one to a Developed one.
A part of this initiative was to establish and develop India as a reinsurance hub as it had the capability, capacity and potential to become one. The first 12 years of the Indian insurance sector after liberalisation have witnessed rapid growth in all classes of business. Projections for growth of the Indian insurance sector in the current decade and thereafter too are very encouraging and optimistic.
It is therefore safe to assume that by 2020 the Indian sub-continent would be the Reinsurance Hub of this part of the globe. It has the potential to leave behind the other two Reinsurance Hubs in this region, Dubai and Singapore.
As far as the Insurance infrastructure in the country is concerned everything required is in place: an active Regulator, growing insurance companies, new products being launched with regularity, vast talent pool of Insurance and reinsurance professionals, performing intermediaries and ancillary service professionals like loss adjusters, lawyers, Risk management professionals and above all low insurance penetration that throws up enormous possibilities.

56th Rendezvous September 2012; Monte Carlo 09 -13 September 2012
Today the global reinsurance sector is at crossroads where it has to grapple with several challenges. The low investment yields are pushing down the bottom-line of the reinsurers further down. The industry cannot increase its pricing very drastically; the abundant capacity does not permit it to do so. The claims are continuously going up as the catastrophes continue with an alarming alacrity. Yet it must be said to the credit of global reinsurance industry that it has been performing well despite all odds.
