2 Insurers Share the Concern of SC Home & Business Owners PROPERTY OWNERS ECONOMIC CONCERNS The price of residential and commercial property insurance has risen rapidly in coastal SC since 2004 Insurance options for some homeowners have dwindled as some have scaled backed exposure to coastal zones At the same time property taxes are rising in many communities The run-up in real estate prices in some areas has dramatically increased the cost of owning a home Many homeowners adjustable rate mortgages are seeing their interest rate locks expire and are now paying higher interest rates on their mortgages Bottom Line The cost of owning property in South Carolina is rising and home & business owners feel economically squeezed
3 Any Solution Must Emerge from a Common Set of Facts FACTS ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA PROPERTY MARKETS South Carolina has more than $150 billion in insured coastal exposure, more than three times that of Mississippi Coastal property exposure values are expected to increase rapidly over the next decade South Carolina s coastal population is growing rapidly South Carolina (and all other Gulf/Atlantic states) will experience aboveaverage hurricane activity for the next years South Carolina is vulnerable to major hurricanes, as Hurricane Hugo proved, the cost of which is nearly $7 billion in today s dollars Improvements in building codes and mitigation technologies have been proven to substantially reduce wind damage from hurricanes The current method for financing hurricane-related losses results is an economic burden for some property owners, but at the same times leaves private and state-run insurers with large operating deficits Ultimately, risk will need to be the primary determinant of the price of insurance
4 Elements of a Shared Solution Arising from a Common Set of Facts TOWARD A LONG-TERM SOLUTION FOR S. CAROLINA S INSURANCE Insurance in South Carolina s coast areas needs to be more available and affordable Stronger homes are safer homes and stronger homes (and businesses) cost less to insurance, offer their owners a higher quality of life and are a key part of any solution Strengthening of building codes and mitigation must be encouraged Land use policies have a clear role to play in limiting future storm damage Stronger homes, increased use of mitigation technologies and smarter land use policies will lower insurance losses and costs for home/businesses owners State tax policy can be used to provide mitigation incentives Spread of risk on a global scale is important Reinsurance, securitization (CAT bonds) can help achieve this objective Insurance capital should be encouraged to flow into SC s insurance markets The price of insurance must eventually reflect the risk of that property This will dramatically reduce the need for assessments, diversion of tax revenues or the need for the state to borrow heavily after a major hurricane

28 What Role Should the Federal Government Play in Insuring Against Natural Disaster Risks?
29 South Carolina s Coastal Plan Spreading recognition that FL actions were fiscally reckless and did nothing to reduce state s vulnerability SOUTH CAROLINA: Gov. Mark Sanford announced a coastal insurance relief plan March 22, referring to FL s actions as a knee-jerk reaction SC legislation uses tax incentives to reduce risk to property and lower the cost of insurance Tax deductions for catastrophe savings accounts Tax credits for disaster mitigation Tax credits for lower income property owners paying more than 5% of their income in insurance premiums Tax-free savings accounts for homeowners who carry very large deductibles or create accounts to self insure Tax credits for insurers writing full coverage for coastal dwellers Tax credits for homeowners who buy supplies to retrofit homes making them more hurricane resistant Require insurers to offer discounts to people who mitigate Sources: Insurance Information Institute from 3/22/07 press release, Office of Governor Mark Sanford.

47 Industry Profitability Benefits Insurance Consumers Profits compensate shareholders for the assets they put at risk and encourages new capital to enter Profitable companies can access capital markets under favorable terms after mega-cats or if market conditions are poor (e.g., post-9/11); Others will fail, are dissolved or acquired Preferred treatment by reinsurers Profits lead directly to increased capacity Profits build contingent capacity for mega-cats Profitable companies have higher financial strength and credit ratings
48 Key Messages on Profitability All of the profits earned in 2004 and 2005 and most of the profits in 2006 were earned in states and from types of insurance unaffected by the hurricanes 2006 s respite in hurricane activity provides insurers with the ability to rebuilding their claims paying resources By law, the rates charged for insurance are based exclusively on past and expected losses in that state. Profits in other states or from other types of insurance cannot be used to subsidize losses in the SC homeowners insurance market. Likewise, losses in other states cannot be subsidized by South Carolinians
