Moody’s noted that following the successful completion of the  transaction with PIF and divestment of its holding in Probitas, Saudi Re’s shareholders’ equity increased by 75% to approximately SAR 2 billion in January 2025, up from SAR 1.14 billion at end of 2023.

Commenting on the rating upgrade by Moody’s , Ahmed Al-Jabr, the CEO of Saudi Re said “we are very pleased to receive this recognition of Saudi Re’s financial strength and competitive position which provides assurance to our investors, regulators, clients, partners and all stakeholders, and reinforces their confidence in Saudi Re’s credit worthiness, financial standing and strategic direction.”  According to Moody’s, despite potential challenges arising from macroeconomic uncertainty and financial markets volatility, Moody’s expects Saudi Re’s profitability to remain good over the next 12-18 months, supported by both underwriting performance and investment returns. Saudi Re’s good geographical mix along with the development of new products will positively contribute to the continued diversification, mitigating potential challenges.
