AM Best has placed under review with positive implications the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating (Long-Term ICR) of “bbb+” (Good) of Generali France S.A. (Generali France) (France), an intermediate non-operating holding company, following the release of the updated Best’s Credit Rating Methodology (BCRM) on 18 January 2024.
The main updates to BCRM focus on Part IV: Insurance Holding Company and Issue Credit Ratings. The changes are related primarily to the notching used to derive the Long-Term ICR of an insurance holding company.
