It reflects the insurer\u2019s strong financial resilience with non-existent leverage and good access to capital markets in Saudi Arabia given its listing on the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul), in addition to broad investor base.<\/p>\n<p>The report confirmed that Saudi Re achieved healthy diversification across products and regions.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s investment strategy is relatively conservative, with high liquidity and moderate exposure to high asset risks.<\/p>\n<p>It has a solid capital adequacy and a reinsurance program strongly supported by highly rated reinsurers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the company&#8217;s adequacy of reserves is advanced, backed by internal and external actuarial expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Saudi Re has financial flexibility as it has no debt and its listing on Tadawul provides it with good access to capital markets.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the rating is predicted to further strengthen Saudi Re\u2019s competitive position and support its growth efforts in the international markets, the company concluded.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1020,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-events"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mpr.com.sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mpr.com.sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mpr.com.sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mpr.com.sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mpr.com.sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1019"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mpr.com.sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1021,"href":"https:\/\/mpr.com.sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1019\/revisions\/1021"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mpr.com.sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mpr.com.sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mpr.com.sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mpr.com.sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
