Overview

Malaysian Reinsurance Berhad (known as Malaysian Re) is a Malaysian reinsurance company. It is Malaysia's largest reinsurer, commanding more than 60% of reinsurance accepted premium in the country.[3] In the ASEAN market, Malaysian Re is currently the region’s largest national reinsurer by asset size.[4] The company also has a strong market presence in Asia and the Middle East.

In 2005, as a result of a restructuring exercise within the MNRB Group, the Company's reinsurance license, business and assets were transferred to its subsidiary company, Malaysian Reinsurance Berhad. Pursuant to the restructuring, Malaysian National Reinsurance Berhad became an investment holding company and changed its name to MNRB Holdings Berhad (MNRB). Today, MNRB is listed on the Bursa Malaysia.
