European insurers' underlying performance remained strong for the first half of this year despite their recent setbacks in the capital markets, according to a report released by Moody's Investors Service.
Moody's said that thanks to insurers' improved asset risk hedging, the industry remains relatively robust overall with no credit rating impact to date for European insurance groups.
Going forward, the New York-based rating service said it would pay close attention to key equity-related metrics, and there could be negative rating pressure for some groups should metrics such as financial leverage and capitalization deteriorate further.
