Kenya RE 2023- the star

Kenya Reinsurance Corporation will pay shareholders a total of Kshs 560 million in dividends, after recording a 7.0% rise in net profits in the year ending December 31, 2022. Each shareholder will receive Kshs 0.20 in dividends per share, up from Kshs 0.10 in the same period in the previous year. A high pay-out came after its net profit rose by Kshs 0.46 billion to Kshs 3.62 billion in 2022 from Kshs 3.16 billion in the review period. The improved income is attributable to an improved reinsurance portfolio, efficient processing of claims, and intermediaries, among others.

He further acknowledged that the financial year under review has been momentous for the firm in scaling its innovation and digital business, with approximately 21% of all claims settled via their digitized process.
