AfCFTA and the African Insurance Industry

Kofi Annan, a worthy son of Africa and erstwhile UN Secretary-General, once wrote: “From terrorism to poverty, drugs and crime, disease to trade, no State can settle matter alone”.

This visionary statement of Kofi Annan sounds like a reminder of our duty in the ongoing African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agenda. A project that aims at synthesizing the strengths in various sectors of the African economy for an optimal value to our continent.

Africa Re, as a pan- African organization, with the mission to promote the insurance industry in the continent, is seizing this opportunity of AfCFTA to advance its vision and mission which it embarked on more than 45 years ago. This is done sometimes through the platform of the African Insurance Organisation (AIO) and also directly with the insurance and reinsurance communities.

Africa Re Sustained Improved Underwriting and Investment Performance for the 1st Semester 2021

The African Reinsurance Corporation (Africa Re) recorded a gross premium income of US$421 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to US$393 million reported in the same period of 2020, translating to a 7.2% growth of the gross written premium, which is a reflection of the ongoing recovery of businesses and the society from the new Covid-19 operating environment. The good performance was supported by additional facultative acceptances mostly in the oil & gas portfolios. There was also a positive impact of the appreciation of a few of our operating currencies against the US Dollar, especially the Rand and CFA. The gains on currency fluctuation were slightly offset by the significant devaluation of the Sudanese Pound.
