Reinsurance premiums are recognized as written premiums upon acceptance. Reinsurance premiums related to current risks, but whose reinsurance contracts have not yet been written, are calculated on an actuarial basis.
For optional reinsurance contracts, written premium is the amount agreed upon between the parties to guarantee the reinsurance coverage, for the amount the reinsurer accepts to cover and for the risk’s term.
For automatic reinsurance contracts, written premium is as follows:
∙Non-proportional contracts – written premium is the amount agreed upon between the parties to guarantee the reinsurance coverage, for the amount the reinsurer accepts to cover and for the term of the reinsurance contract.
∙ Proportional contracts – written premium is the premium amount estimated by the ceding party for all policies that will be covered for the term of the reinsurance contract.
An estimate that is proportional to the percentage of the reinsurer’s interest, weighted by a performance percentage established according to the reinsurer’s experience of the ceding parties’ premiums. These premiums are adjusted after each account report sent by the ceding party, usually on a quarterly basis.
