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 prole 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
notication is sent to the cedants(ceding companies) and the reinsurance agreement is assigned for monitoring from the date of notication. The
uncollectible portion of the premium receivable are considered as impaired and charged through the prot 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
