ICRA Nepal has downgraded the rating of Nepal Reinsurance Company (Nepal Re) to &#8216;Nepal Re&#8217; rating.

Earlier, the company&#8217;s rating was &#8216;ICRANP IRA A&#8217;. <\/p>\n<p>ICRA has cited the devastating floods in the Bhotekoshi River on August 26 as a major factor in the Nepal RICO rating. The devastating floods have damaged about 700 MW of hydropower projects in the riverine areas, ICRA said in a statement. &#8220;Private and commercial property has been severely damaged along with vehicles awaiting customs clearance,&#8221; the statement said. <\/p>\n<p>ICRA expects that due to the damage caused by these floods, the claims of Nepal REEMA will increase. &#8220;With the increase in claims, the liability of Nepal REEMA will also increase,&#8221; ICRA said. <\/p>\n<p>ICRA said that the net worth of Nepal RICO has decreased due to claims related to the riots of August last year. &#8220;The final data on the damage claims of the recent Bhotekoshi floods will determine the impact on the company&#8217;s financial position and liquidity,&#8221; ICRA said. <\/p>\n<p>Similarly, ICRA has also continued its &#8216;Watch with Negative Impact&#8217;. <\/p>\n<p>Nepal Ricoh, which has a large share of the Government of Nepal, has a paid-up capital of about Rs 13.42 billion and a net worth of Rs 20.52 billion.
