Zambia-based reinsurer Klapton Reinsurance announced that it has obtained regulatory permission to underwrite reinsurance business in China.
This marks the company’s entry into one of the most complex and competitive insurance markets in the world.
Klapton Re said: “China is a market that values the principles of credibility, discipline, speed and long-term relationships that are critical to Klapton Re’s operations in Africa, the United States, the Middle East and Asia.
“This milestone strengthens our Asia platform and demonstrates our commitment to working closely with brokers and cedants to seek proactive, solutions-driven reinsurance support.”
This follows Klapton Re’s recent announcement that it will list directly on the Lusaka Stock Exchange (LuSE) on March 24, 2026, subject to regulatory approval, reaffirming the reinsurer’s continued growth.
