PEFINDO has assigned its idBBB financial strength rating with stable outlook to Sahabat Insurance

PEFINDO has assigned its idBBB financial strength rating with stable outlook to PT Asuransi Sahabat Artha Proteksi (Sahabat Insurance). The rating reflects Sahabat Insurance’s moderate capitalization, adequate liquidity, and moderate asset quality.
However, the rating is constrained by modest operating performance, concentrated
business profile, and intense competition in the industry.
The rating may be raised if Sahabat Insurance could substantially improve its business position, reflected by doubling its market share in terms of gross written premiums (GWP) in the insurance industry on a sustained basis, while demonstrating its capability to diversify into other profitable line of businesses and maintain its financial profile. The rating could be lowered if the Company's business position declines substantially,
which can be indicated by its market share of GWP in the insurance industry persistently shrinking by more than 40%.
