FBS Reinsurance Limited has earned an AA(NG) Financial Strength Rating with a Stable Outlook from GCR Ratings, which positions the reinsurer to play a bigger role in underwriting complex and high-value risks, the company said.

The rating is expected to enhance the company’s market credibility and strengthen confidence among insurers and brokers seeking financially strong reinsurance partners in an increasingly competitive market.

The rating comes at a critical period for insurers and reinsurers seeking to demonstrate financial resilience, attract larger risks and reassure investors, brokers and policyholders amid heightened regulatory requirements and ongoing recapitalisation across the industry.

In a statement, the company said the assessment underscored the growing importance of independent ratings in Nigeria’s insurance market, where operators are under increasing pressure to strengthen capital positions, improve risk management practices and enhance public confidence.
