AFRICA RE REAFFIRMS BUSINESS RECOVERY WITH IMPROVED RESULTS - Q3 2021 Results

The African Reinsurance Corporation (Africa Re) posted a premium income of US$629.15 million for the nine months to September 2021, an increase of 7.79% over US$583.68 million reported for the same period in 2020. The increase was driven by both organic growth and increase in market share in most of our markets. The recovery of the South African Rand against the US Dollar also contributed to the growth when reported in US Dollars. On the downside, there was significant reduction in premium income denominated in US Dollar from Libya and Sudan due to the devaluations of the Libyan Dinar and Sudanese Pound.

Africa Re Sustained Improved Underwriting and Investment Performance for the 1st Semester 2021

The African Reinsurance Corporation (Africa Re) recorded a gross premium income of US$421 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to US$393 million reported in the same period of 2020, translating to a 7.2% growth of the gross written premium, which is a reflection of the ongoing recovery of businesses and the society from the new Covid-19 operating environment. The good performance was supported by additional facultative acceptances mostly in the oil & gas portfolios. There was also a positive impact of the appreciation of a few of our operating currencies against the US Dollar, especially the Rand and CFA. The gains on currency fluctuation were slightly offset by the significant devaluation of the Sudanese Pound.
