Ltd. (IGI) announced that S&P Global Ratings has confirmed its financial strength ratings at A- with a Stable outlook. The ratings apply to IGI's two subsidiaries International General Insurance Co. Ltd. (Bermuda) and International General Insurance Company (UK) Ltd.

S&P indicated the key factors in its decision were:

• Strong risk-based capital adequacy and strong risk controls to manage IGI's key risk exposures;
• Track record of technical outperformance relative to sector peers;
• Experienced management team with a proven history of attracting high-calibre technical and underwriting staff.

IGI Chairman and CEO Wasef JABSHEH said, "We are pleased that S&P has taken the decision to reaffirm our ratings at A- with a Stable outlook, particularly given that IGI has transitioned to a publicly traded company in the U.S. since S&P's last ratings review. It also underscores the strength of the IGI brand - our balance sheet, our track record of profitable growth and our long-standing relationships."
