The National Reinsurance Corporation of the Philippines (Nat Re), the country s national reinsurer, has announced that it earned PHP120m ($2.5m) in net income in 2020, down 24% from PHP157m in 2019, as stronger underwriting results were weighed down by lower investment income.
“While Nat Re’s financial performance in 2020 reflected financial market volatility caused by COVID-19 especially in the first half of the year, the company ensured operational resilience to continue delivering reinsurance-related services and serve its customers efficiently,” said Mr Allan R Santos, Nat Re president and CEO.
Gross written premiums increased by 3% to PHP4.47bn from PHP4.34bn in 2019, with growth in reinsurance premiums from the life and non-life domestic business.
