Jio Financial share price: Jio Financial Services (JFSL) shares will be in focus on Monday, July 21, as the NBFC on Friday, July 18, and Allianz Group of Germany, through its wholly owned subsidiary Allianz Europe B.V., entered into a binding agreement to form a 50:50 domestic reinsurance joint venture to serve the dynamic and high-growth insurance market in India.

The reinsurance partnership will bring together JFSL's deep local expertise and robust digital footprint with Allianz's strong underwriting and global reinsurance capabilities, a joint statement made late in the evening said.

The joint venture will leverage Allianz's existing Allianz Re and Allianz Commercial portfolios and activities in India. It will also benefit from Allianz's global setup, including its pricing, risk selection and portfolio management expertise, the statement said.

Allianz Re has been reinsuring risk in India for over 25 years.

The JFSL-Allianz reinsurance Joint Venture (JV) will help insurers manage risks more effectively by providing access to strong underwriting capabilities and competitive capacity, ultimately strengthening the resilience of the entire insurance ecosystem, it said, adding that the JV will launch operations post receipt of statutory and regulatory approvals, the statement added.

It further said that the two companies also entered into a non-binding agreement to set up equally owned joint ventures for both general and life insurance businesses in India.

Commenting on the development, JFSL non-executive director Isha Ambani said that India is witnessing a transformative surge in insurance demand, driven by rising prosperity, growing financial awareness and rapid digital adoption.
