AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of Halyk Insurance Company JSC (Business Wire)
|
|
|
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb” (Good) of the Joint-Stock Company Subsidiary of Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan Halyk Insurance Company (Halyk Insurance) (Kazakhstan).

These ratings reflect Halyk Insurance's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, limited business profile and marginal enterprise risk management (ERM).

Internal capital generation is supported by the company's dividend policy, which limits annual dividend distribution to a maximum of 50% of prior-year earnings. Halyk Insurance has accumulated a large equity base that abso...
