Additionally, while the retention ratio of Indonesia's insurance sector is at 69.0% currently, we expect it to remain roughly constant over the coming years as the life sector, which accounts for 75.0% of the sector, remains generally well-capitalised and will therefore have stable reinsurance needs over the coming years.
