GIC Re Revises 50:50 Business Mix Goal, Targets 60:40 Split Amid Global Market Softening
General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC Re) has delayed its goal of achieving a 50:50 domestic-international business mix due to abundant global reinsurance capacity and softer pricing. Chairman Hitesh Rameshchandra Joshi stated the medium-term target is now a 60:40 split, acknowledging challenges as the domestic market outpaces international growth. International business declined from 31% in FY24 to 14% in the recent quarter. GIC Re expects it may take three to four years to rebuild foreign premiums to previous levels amid market softening and portfolio adjustments.
