LONDON. - Friday, June 6th 2014 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE) A.M. Best has affirmed the financial strength rating of B++ (Good) and issuer credit rating of “bbb” of Arab Misr Insurance Group S.A.E (GIG-Egypt) (Egypt). The outlook for both ratings remains negative.

The ratings of GIG-Egypt reflect its strong risk-adjusted capitalisation, good track record of profitability and its sound domestic franchise. The negative outlook reflects the heightened level of economic, political and financial system risk associated with Egypt. GIG-Egypt’s rating benefits from the financial strength of its parent company, Gulf Insurance Group K.S.C.P., and its strategic importance to the group.

GIG–Egypt’s risk-adjusted capitalisation is strong and continues to strengthen as profit retention outpaces growth in capital requirements. Despite GIG-Egypt’s material exposure to Egyptian assets, particularly government treasury bills, the company&rs ... Read more »
