In a move aimed at optimizing balance sheet efficiency, Crédit Agricole Assurances has priced an issuance of perpetual Restricted Tier 1 (RT1) notes for a nominal amount of 750 million euros. This issuance is part of the company's newly established Euro Medium Term Note (EMTN) programme designed to manage its capital structure. The initial fixed annual interest rate was set at 5.875%, with the first rate reset scheduled for 2032.
This capital move comes as major European insurers seek to bolster solvency ratios, following similar strategic moves by peers like AXA SA which recently focused on capital optimization. Per market data, the 5.875% pricing reflects investor confidence in the French group's creditworthiness, especially when compared to recent European insurance RT1 issuances that have yielded between 5.5% and 6.2% according to Reuters reports.
