LONDON - Friday, April 26th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE/ME NewsWire)-- A.M. Best Europe – Rating Services Limited has affirmed the financial strength rating of A (Excellent) and the issuer credit rating of "a” of Orient Insurance Company (PJSC) (Orient) (United Arab Emirates). The outlook for both ratings is stable.

The ratings reflect Orient’s supportive level of risk-adjusted capitalisation, solid business profile within the UAE and robust operating performance. An offsetting factor is Orient’s concentrated investment profile.

Orient’s level of risk-adjusted capitalisation remains supportive of the current ratings despite a substantial reduction in 2012, stemming from higher investment risk following the purchase of a single equity holding. Supporting Orient’s risk-adjusted capital position is its high level of internal capital generation, low retention of insurance risks and a reinsurance programme of good credit quality.

Orient remains the third-la ... Read more »
