For re/insurers, macroeconomic conditions and exposure to the Eurozone
crisis had a far from good influence on earning and top-line growth,
said Stefan HOLZBERGER, Managing Director AM Best, at a press conference
in Monte Carlo. Yet, all the four major rating agencies maintained
a stable outlook for the reinsurance sector, as it proved resilient
after being confronted with one of the costliest catastrophe years.

Despite the fact that the M&A
activity saw a surge in transaction activity in 2011, the six months
to June 2012 was quieter than at any period since the first half
of 2009, says a report released today by the Corporate Insurance
Group at Clyde & Co. "Overall, however, we believe that there are sufficient drivers for the stage
to be set for a range of M&A activity around the world in the coming year and beyond as insurers everywhere
reconsider their market position and evaluate the best opportunities
for sustained growth" , stated Andrew HOLDERNESS, Global Head of Clyde's Corporate Insurance Group

"More than ever, the reinsurance industry faces the
challenge of achieving stable earnings in its core business and further
reducing its dependency
on the investment result. The key question will be how quickly and
to what extent insurers and reinsurers will succeed in factoring
the low interest-rate level into their price calculations",
stated Torsten JEWORREK, Munich Re's Reinsurance CEO, for XPRIMM
Publications at the 2012 edition of Les Rendez Vous de Monte Carlo.
Yet, the German reisurer expects a stable renewal season in 2013,
both in terms of prices and conditions, considering that reinsurance
markets still have sufficient capacity at this time

Carlo 2012: SWISS Re expects moderately increasing re/insurance prices
by oleg.doronceanu@mxp.ro, dimitrios.tsoulias@mxp.ro,
2012-09-10
"Upwards pressure on prices for (re)insurance is likely
to rise, as low interest rates continue to depress running yields
and drag return-on-equity
levels down, significant reserve releases will not go on forever
and solvency rules are tightening all over the world",
said Christian MUMENTHALER, Chief Executive Officer Reinsurance,
SWISS Re at the annual Les Rendez-vous de Monte Carlo meeting.

Carlo 2012: Low level of insured cat losses in 2012, favorable impact
on capital growth and earnings
by oleg.doronceanu@mxp.ro, dimitrios.tsoulias@mxp.ro,
2012-09-10
"Global reinsurer capital totaled a record USD 480
billion at June 30, 2012, an increase of 5% (USD25 billion) relative
to December
31, 2011. This calculation is a broad measure of capital available
for insurers to trade risk with and includes both traditional and
non-traditional forms of reinsurance capital",
estimates the Aon Benfield Aggregate (ABA) report, which analyses
the financial position of the world's leading reinsurers for the
first half of 2012. Mike Van SLOOTEN, Head of Aon Benfield's International
Market Analysis team, said: "In stark contrast to the prior year, the relatively low level of insured catastrophe
losses in the first half of 2012 allowed most ABA companies to report
good earnings and consequent capital growth."
