The reinsurance cession rate worldwide was somewhat consistent between 2011 and 2020, fluctuating about the four and five percent marks. When an insurance company partially transfers its business obligations to a reinsurer, this is called "cession". In 2020, the global reinsurance cession rate was 5.09 percent - up from 4.77 percent the previous year. The highest reinsurance cession rate recorded during the time period under observation was in 2015, when it reached over 5.2 percent.
