This study is quantitative and dynamic using system-generalised method of moments to analyse the data. The study discovered that reinsurers should broaden their services to remain highly competitive and boost their premium growth such that their profitability is sustained. Also, there should be a separate department of qualified professionals overseeing the adequate management of risk before sealing ceding agreement with insurers.17 penReinsuranceSystem-generalised method of momentsSub-Saharan AfricaFirm-specificIndustry levelMacroeconomic1503 Business and Management3507 Strategy, management and organisational behaviourArticle2024-09-1810.1080/23311975.2022.2093485
