French reinsurer Scor SE (SCR.FR) faces little risk from swine
flu, the head of the company's global life business said
Thursday.
Gilles Meyer said during a conference call with analysts that
the potential impact from swine flu on Scor's portfolio is "very
small," adding that the company has protection policies in place
should the spread of the disease intensify.
"If you compare it to the two prior events, SARS and bird flu,
the impact to our portfolio was completely nil," Meyer said. "You
really need a very huge pandemic to have a real impact on our
portfolio."
