SCR

The first reinsurance company to be set up in the Maghreb region, the Société Centrale de Réassurance (SCR), started its operations on April 20, 1960. Like reinsurance companies born after independence, SCR's major missions were to protect the national market and maintain saving generated in the country by local insurers.

SCR's role in the Moroccan economy has evolved throughout the years. Driven by globalisation, SCR has grown bigger. Nowadays, it is not only entrusted with its initial task of a national reinsurer but it has also extended its operations abroad where it is required to stand straight on a highly-competitive international market.

To do so, SCR has undertaken a series of actions aimed at consolidating its financial base and enhancing its technical potential. The increase of its capital to 1 billion MAD (111.03 million USD) endows it with the required financial soundness and therefore paves the way for its development.

Endowed with a large amount of shareholders' equity and firmly standing in Morocco, SCR may henceforth play a more active role on the international arena. Africa and the Middle East remain its natural markets.
