Drivers of Ratings Demand

20

14

The Growing Importance of Credit Quality Growing awareness of credit quality

GFC raised general level of awareness of credit quality across both consumer and commercial sectors

Focus on counterparty credit

Sharpened focus on counterparty credit will continue to embed ratings in the financial fabric of the insurance and reinsurance sectors

Ratings becoming enshrined in legislation

Ratings are increasingly becoming enshrined in insurance legislation around the world as regulatory regimes evolve and their sophistication increases

21

Drivers for Continuing Ratings Growth in Asia Pacific  Enhanced insurance regulation, in particular enhanced solvency requirements  Need for statement of credibility (“passport”) when expanding regionally/internationally  Entry to, and development of, credit sensitive market segments e.g. reinsurance, large commercial business  Due-diligence requirements on cross-border mergers, JVs, etc.  Tender-process requirements in which ratings are required for carriers insuring new projects  Increasing involvement of major brokers  Facilitates capital raising and reinsurance purchase  Drive to improve corporate governance practices  Desire for external endorsement of company’s (and CEO’s !) progress 22

Country Risk Analysis

Defining Country Risk •

Country Risk: The risk that country-specific factors could adversely affect an insurer’s ability to pay its financial obligations. Distinct from:



Sovereign Default Risk: Probability that a sovereign government does not pay back its debts on time & in their entirety.



Transfer and Convertibility Risk: The risk that capital and exchange controls may be imposed by government authorities that would prevent or materially impede the private sector’s ability to convert local currency into foreign currency and/or transfer funds to nonresident creditors.

Key Components of Political Risk Political risk is the likelihood that governmental or bureaucratic inefficiencies, societal tensions, an inadequate legal system or international tensions will cause adverse developments for an insurer – Evaluation of Business Environment

• How easy/difficult is it to do business?

– Strength of Legal System

• How prevalent is corruption? • Are the property rights respected? • Are contracts enforceable?

– Government and Social Stability

• How likely is government disruption? • Are there likely to be political/social unrest? 8

Growth Prospects for Southeast Asia • Growth in Southeast Asia is expected to outplace global growth over the next 5 years. • Growth in Indonesia has been and likely will continue to be extremely robust. • Given rising GDP per capita, and improvements in level of country risk, insurance penetration should rise over the next few years in Indonesia. • Solid economic growth and rising insurance penetration will create strong premium growth over the next several years. 33
