43.2.2 Credit Risk
      Credit Risk is the risk that a party to a nancial instrument will fail to honor its obligations and cause the Group to incur a nancial loss. Credit risk
      arises mainly from 3 sources: retrocession, reinsurance receivables and cash and investment securities.

      On retrocession, the Group mitigates credit risk by applying minimum security standards for all its retrocession programmes in terms of the credit
      rating of the retrocessionaires, and the proportion ceded to each retrocessionaire. The Group has a diverse panel of retrocessionaires to avoid
      concentration risk. The credit rating prole of our retrocessionaires by product is shown below:

The overdue premiums are considered by the Group on case by case basis. If an overdue premium is recognised by the Group as uncollectible, a
notication is sent to the cedants(ceding companies) and the reinsurance agreement is assigned for monitoring from the date of notication. The
uncollectible portion of the premium receivable are considered as impaired and charged through the prot or loss and comprehensive income

On insurance receivables, the Group has a credit control policy which is enforced by a credit control unit and which forms part of the underwriting

process. In addition, the Group re-assesses its insurance receivables on a regular basis and makes adequate provisions based on ageing and credit

quality. The table below shows the ageing of receivables:                                    Maximum exposure
