A.M. Best affirms credit ratings of China Taiping Insurance (Macau)
KUALA LUMPUR, March 30 (Bernama) -- A.M. Best has affirmed the financial strength rating of A (excellent) and the long-term issuer credit rating of 'a' of China Taiping Insurance (Macau) Co Ltd (CTIM) Macau.
"The outlook of these credit ratings is stable," A.M Best said in a statement.
"The ratings reflect CTIM's balance sheet strength, which A.M. Best categorised as adequate, as well as its strong operating performance, favorable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.
"The ratings also reflect the lift that the company receives from its parent, China Taiping Insurance Holdings Co Ltd," the statement added.
CTIM's risk-adjusted capitalisation, as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), dropped to the adequate level at year-end 2017 due to significant additional reinsurer credit risk related to reinsurance recoverables from Typhoon Hato - a 1-in-50-year storm that struck in August 2017 - and major losses in the following month from the SJM's Grand Lisboa Palace fire.
The company's reinsurer panel is highly rated and the vast majority of the typhoon claims are expected to be settled and closed within one year, A.M. Best expects the risk-adjusted capitalisation to return to the strongest level within the next two years.
CTIM maintains a leading market position in Macau, with strong operating performance and a five-year average return on equity of 22.3 per cent from 2012 to 2016.
The company achieved net profits in 2017 due to investment income, despite the occurrence of two severe underwriting events.
A.M. Best is the world's oldest and most authoritative insurance rating and information source.

The Omi Beef, Japan's oldest branded beef has its origin dating back 400 years and its history is considered long for well-known branded beef exported to Macao, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar as well as Taiwan.
Shiga Prefecture organised this farm trip targeting Hong Kong and Singapore, where wagyu draws much attention and a great number of potential buyers to create a tour combining Omi Beef and sightseeing spots in the prefecture.
The farm trip aims to expand demand for inbound tourism via Kyoto, attract visitors to Shiga and boost consumption of Omi Beef.
Shiga Prefecture is neighbouring to the east of Kyoto and accessible from big cities, about 10 minutes from Kyoto and about 30 minutes from Osaka by train. The video can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw69E1PLVCOCbgU0_2l9WsA

A.M. BEST AFFIRMS CREDIT RATINGS OF ASIAN REINSURANCE CORPORATION
SINGAPORE, March 30 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- A.M. Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B+ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb-” of Asian Reinsurance Corporation (Asian Re) (Thailand). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.
The ratings reflect Asian Re’s balance sheet strength, which A.M. Best categorizes as strong, as well as its marginal operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.
Asian Re’s balance sheet strength reflects solid risk-adjusted capitalization that is supported by low underwriting leverage and an investment portfolio consisting mostly of cash and deposits. However, there is the potential for transfer restrictions as some of these deposits are placed with entities that have been sanctioned in the past.
In terms of operating performance, the company experienced deterioration in underwriting results this year, partially due to reserve developments. A steady stream of interest income has mitigated the impact of this deterioration. Overall, Asian Re’s capital and surplus has remained fairly stable.
Following losses from catastrophe events in 2011 and 2012, Asian Re recapitalized and improved its capital position. As of year-end 2017, its capital stood at USD 69 million, above the USD 55 million it reported at year-end 2010, before the catastrophe events. However, the company continues to face challenges in rebuilding its business profile, and premium volumes remain considerably lower than before the catastrophe events. In addition, regulatory requirements also have made it harder for Asian Re to access certain markets.
Positive rating actions could result from the company successfully rebuilding its premium base while improving underwriting results.
Negative rating actions could result from material deterioration in Asian Re’s operating performance or if transfer restrictions are placed on its assets.
Ratings are communicated to rated entities prior to publication. Unless stated otherwise, the ratings were not amended subsequent to that communication.
This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on A.M. Best’s website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see A.M. Best’s Recent Rating Activity web page. For additional information regarding the use and limitations of Credit Rating opinions, please view Understanding Best’s Credit Ratings.

POLYPLASTICS INTRODUCES NEW SERIES OF LOW-DIELECTRIC LAPEROS (R) LCPS FOR NEXT-GENERATION COMMUNICATION DEVICES
TOKYO, Mar. 22, 2018 /Kyodo JBN-- AsiaNet/ --
Polyplastics Co., Ltd., a leading global supplier of engineering thermoplastics, has announced the launch of a new series of low-dielectric liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) for next-generation communication devices. LAPEROS (R) E420P is the first in a series of low-dielectric grades which also possess inherent high heat resistance, mechanical properties, chemical resistance, high flow, and low warpage for films and connectors in cabling, antennas and circuit boards.

(Image: Narrow-pitch connectors
https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/img/201803121805-O2-7u0M9Z3K)
Polyplastics developed the new LCP series amidst increasing demand for low-dielectric and low-dielectric-tangent materials to satisfy the needs of 5G telecommunications and V2X telecommunications for autonomous automobiles and materials applicable for high-speed and high-frequency transmission components.
LAPEROS (R) E420P makes use of an optimum combination of filler and formulation technology to achieve a low-dielectric constant of less than 3.0 measured perpendicular to the flow direction for the 1-20 GHz frequency band. Further, the dielectric loss tangent is stable over the entire frequency band. The material also fulfills downsizing requirements and increasingly complex designs in connector applications and can be used in surface-mount technology (SMT) processes.
Polyplastics will expand its series of low-dielectric LCPs to meet broader performance requirements for connectors. The company plans to extend its product portfolio to include grades with enhanced low warpage, higher heat resistance and greater flow for compact, fine-pitched connectors. Since connectors are the primary target application, these grades are formulated with good flowability. Polyplastics reports that in tests using the company's connector molds, the new grades are molded at lower packing pressure than conventional grades.
