Net profit increasing by 39.7% for Africa Re

Africa Re released results for the year 2014. The figures show a net profit of 118.50 million USD, up by 39.7% compared to 2013.

The total of underwritten premiums rose from 670.46 million USD in 2013 to 717.53 million USD in 2014, that is an increase of 7.02%.

These excellent results are due to an improvement in the loss experience in almost classes of business, an increase in the underwritten turnover and good financial results.

Despite a very competitive environment and a monetary erosion of the main underwritten currencies, the 2014 performance exceeds five-year business forecasts of Africa Re.
