  • The reinsurer’s well capitalized balance sheet, as reflected by the international solvency ratio of 48% in which was achieved despite high growth in net premiums.
  • The historically high level of liquidity, as evidenced by the claims cash coverage ratio of 18.4%. Notwithstanding the improved underwriting performance, cognisance was taken of the volatility of ZEP-RE’s underwriting performance over the review period.
  • Underwriting discipline and cost control were considered and held paramount to the long term sustainability of the Company’s business.
