A.M.BEST AFFIRME LES ÉVALUATIONS DU GÉNÉRAL INSURANCE CORPORATION OF INDIA (GIC RE) (11 April 2016)

• A.M. Best affirme l'évaluation de la solidité financière de marque A - (Excellent) et l’évaluation de crédit d'émetteur de marque "a" du Général Insurance Corporation of India (GIC Re). La vision de deux évaluations est stable.
• Ces évaluations témoignent la capitalisation solide à risques pondérés, les résultats d'investissement toujours favorables ainsi que sa forte présence dans les marchés d'réassurance indiens et à l'étranger.
• Favorable capital growth has lifted GIC Re`s capital position to ₹ 419 Billion (US$ 6.7 Billion) at financial year - end 2015 from ₹ 261 Billion (US$ 5.8 Billion) at financial year end 2010. Capital growth has been well in excess of insurance risk, which has increased capital buffers. GIC Re continues to have a strong profile in India`s reinsurance market where it remains the dominant player.
• Offsetting rating factors include the poor underwriting performance of GIC Re`s overseas business, which accounts for 42% of its gross premium. Notwithstanding GIC Re`s strong risk-adjusted capitalization, change in fair value reserves could result in significant volatility due to company`s high level of equity investments. Regulatory changes could increase competition for GIC Re in its domestic market. However amendments are still evolving, and the impact on GIC Re remains to be seen.
• Positive rating momentum could result from a consistent improvement in GIC Re`s underwriting performance, especially in its overseas business.
• Negative rating momentum could result from an unexpectedly large decline in risk adjusted capitalization as a result of adverse fair value movements and a deteriorating trend in overall results.
