When rating property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies globally, stress-testing is applied to evaluate the resiliency of (re)insurers' credit profiles, Moody's Investors Service said in a report.
"Our objective is to present forward-looking ratings that incorporate the companies' risks and consider the impact of downside stress scenarios," said Sarah Hibler, Moody's senior vice president and co-author of the report titled "Stress Testing Property and Casualty (Re)insurance Companies."
She noted, "Consistent scenario testing is an important component of our analysis and helps facilitate global comparisons. It also provides a basis for more rigorous discussions in terms of companies' capital adequacy."
