AM Best has affirmed the financial strength "B++" (good) and long-term credit "bbb" ratings of Société Centrale de Réassurance [4] (SCR) with a stable outlook.
According to the rating agency, the Moroccan reinsurer's results are solid, with an average combined ratio of 91.7% over five years (2017-2021) and a return on equity (ROE) of 13.7%.
SCR's strong position in the Moroccan market partially offsets its limited presence in the global reinsurance market [5]. In 2021, the company recorded 2.6 billion MAD (278.2 million USD) in written premiums, 75% of which were underwritten on the local market.
AM Best also commended the company's strong balance sheet and its appropriate enterprise risk management.
