A.M. BEST REVISES OUTLOOKS TO STABLE FOR PVI REINSURANCE JOINT-STOCK CORPORATION

SINGAPORE, Aug 28 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- A.M. Best has revised the outlooks to stable from positive and affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B+ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb-” of PVI Reinsurance Joint-stock Corporation (PVI Re) (Vietnam).

In April 2013, A.M. Best revised the outlooks to positive from stable in consideration of plans for capital injections into PVI Re. Since then, the company’s capital position has been well below the levels presented originally. The company’s presence in Vietnam’s reinsurance market remains limited, and it relies significantly on its sister company, PVI Insurance Corporation (PVI Insurance), for business volumes. At the same time, the environment for oil- and gas-related insurance business has become increasingly challenging due to low energy prices. The revision of the outlooks to stable from positive reflects these developments.
