Hi,
"For example, a reinsurer may have a lower supervisory capital requirement for certain kinds of business than a direct writer.
This means that the reinsurer can write the business more cheaply than the insurer can, so it may be able to pass on some profits by offering more favourable terms for its reinsurance.”
The above sentences are in ST2 coursenote.
I am confused.
According to the underlined word, the coursenote suggests that reinsurer will write business.
However, it should be the insurer to write new business.
Why the coursenote say reinsurer write new business?
thanks
