Serene Insurance Company Limited, a subsidiary of the First Sky Group, has announced that it has fully met the new Minimum Capital Requirement of the National Insurance Commission.
The company has achieved this one clear year ahead of the official deadline.
This announcement was made by Executive Chairman of the First Sky Group, Eric Seddy Kutortse during the 18th Annual Thanksgiving Anniversary of the Group, held on Sunday, January 3, 2021, at the Accra International Conference Centre.
CEO of Serene Insurance, Christopher Boadi-Mensah added that this development means Serene Insurance becomes one of the first, if not the first Insurance Company to be fully capitalised, with a stated capital of over ¢50 million.
He stated that recapitalisation comes with several benefits, including financial strength and capacity to underwrite bigger accounts as well as the capacity to retain large portions of the insurance business.
Other benefits include the ability to pay legitimate claims, boosting the confidence of the insuring public and sound reserves for investment.
He further noted that with the National Insurance Commission officially extending its initial deadline from June 2021 to January 2022, Serene Insurance is well-placed to continue with its drive towards redefining public perception about insurance in Ghana, offering the best value to the insuring public and helping to increase insurance penetration in Ghana.
Mr. Boadi-Mensah seized the opportunity to express gratitude to the shareholders of Serene Insurance for their continuous support.
He further pledged that the Company will continue to be the insurer of choice, in line with its tagline ‘The New Face of insurance’, when it comes to serving the best interest of its clients in 2021.
Among other things, the occasion was used to thank God for the fact that despite the difficulties experienced last year due to the ravages of the Covvid-19 pandemic which caused several companies to lay off their workers, God continued to sustain and provide for the Group such that not a single worker of the First Sky Group was laid off or experienced a pay cut.
