- Abstract
The study is carried out to determine reinsurance in place of a risk management instrument and its effect on the non-life insurance firms' profitability in Nigeria, adopting ex-post-facto design, with multiple correlation and regression model to analyze the data obtained from Nigeria Insurers Association Digest report 2007 to 2018, which is indicating 12 years of study sample size. The findings of the study show that Premium Cession Ratio (PCR) and Net Retention Ratio (NRR) have positive effect on the profitability (ROA) of insurance companies but not significant with their coefficient values of (0.059880 and 0.006273) and their associated probability values of (0.2811 and 0.8880) respectively. However, the findings reveal that Reinsurance Dependence Cede Premium (RDC) and Reinsurance Commission to Shareholder's Equity (RCS) have affected the profitability (ROA) of insurance business entities negatively and insignificantly with their values of coefficient (-0.266824 and -0.894553) and their corresponding pvalue is (0.5149 and 0.3497) respectively.
