Standard & Poor's (S&P) has affirmed the Lloyd's insurance market's A insurer financial strength rating, and removed it from CreditWatch.
The rating has been under review since 20 September 2001.
S&P director Stephen Searby said: "The rating actions reflect the continuing commitment of capital providers to the Market and the consequent increase in Lloyd's capacity to write business.
"Although S&P has removed its rating on Lloyd's from CreditWatch, the key isues remain the intentions of capital providers and the adequacy of the Central Fund," he added.
