Barriers to entry remain high in many African reinsurance markets and include protectionist local regulations and the presence of state-owned reinsurance companies or specialised state-sponsored pools. The limited competition from global reinsurers is due to a multitude of factors, including the expansive geography of the continent, the small size of national reinsurance markets and the significant cultural and fiscal policy differences between countries.<\/p>\n<p>To access a complimentary copy of this special report, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww3.ambest.com%2Fbestweek%2Fpurchase.asp%3Frecord_code%3D324472&amp;esheet=52931306&amp;newsitemid=20220930005096&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=http%3A%2F%2Fwww3.ambest.com%2Fbestweek%2Fpurchase.asp%3Frecord_code%3D324472&amp;index=1&amp;md5=f191a1a77c40be58a7f986c2a680b3fb\">http:\/\/www3.ambest.com\/bestweek\/purchase.asp?record_code=324472<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A short video interview about this report also can be viewed at <a href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ambest.com%2Fv.asp%3Fv%3Dambglobalressa922&amp;esheet=52931306&amp;newsitemid=20220930005096&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ambest.com%2Fv.asp%3Fv%3Dambglobalressa922&amp;index=2&amp;md5=4282b94be0bb3cfd752fb86a7670d9d7\">http:\/\/www.ambest.com\/v.asp?v=ambglobalressa922<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For additional reports, including AM Best\u2019s annual ranking of the Top 50 global reinsurance groups and in-depth looks at the insurance-linked securities, Lloyd\u2019s, life reinsurance and regional reinsurance markets, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.ambest.com%2Fresearch%2Fdefault.aspx&amp;esheet=52931306&amp;newsitemid=20220930005096&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Best%26%238217%3Bs+Research&amp;index=3&amp;md5=e347c20c1655fafe511a6c113fa52eeb\">Best\u2019s Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>AM Best is a global credit rating agency, news publisher and data analytics provider specialising in the insurance industry.
