20 Loss examples and their economical impact/effect Image: Munich Re

21 The overall economic effect results from both the direct and the indirect effects Economic effects of natural catastrophes Overall effect Direct losses Direct consequences of the forces of nature Usually not directly evident from the development of GDP* Personal injury Direct economic losses, e.g. damage to capital assets and resources Indirect effects = positive + negative indirect effects All effects not caused directly by the natural catastrophe but by the resultant direct losses Indirect effects are usually changes in GDP compared with the hypothetical development of GDP in the absence of a natural catastrophe Negative indirect effects, e.g. through Loss of production due to destroyed installations Degradation of human capital Damaged and destroyed infrastructure Often higher inflation Frequently, an increase in government debt Positive indirect effects, e.g. through Reconstruction stimulus Prosperity incentives, e.g. construction of new, betterquality houses Creative destruction, e.g. the destruction fosters innovation; new production facilities are more modern than those destroyed *) Exemptions are droughts and heat waves which directly impair GDP Source: Munich Re Economic Research Catastrophic risks do we have enough protection reinsurers view / Jürgen Brucker 22/09/

22 Natural catastrophes represent a great economic challenge, particularly for emerging economies Distribution of direct losses* across country groups 3,0% 2,5% Average percentage of direct losses with respect to GDP 2,0% 1,5% 1,0% 0,5% 0,0% Industrialised economies Emerging economies Developing economies *) Only natural catastrophes included in Munich Re s catastrophe classes 4-6 are shown here. Emerging economies are those countries whose inhabitants have a middle percapita income on average. According to the World Bank, middle income is between US$ 1,036 and US$ 12,615 (based on 2012 figures). Countries with lower average income are referred to as developing economies here, and countries with higher income as industrialised economies; source: Munich Re NatCat SERVICE, Economic Research 22

23 The Marmara earthquake in Turkey in 1999 caused widespread damage including to 32% of the production facilities Direct economic losses: US$ 12bn Of the 1,062 companies located in the Kocaeli region, 345 (32%) were damaged On average, these companies were out of production for 35 days It was not until 18 months after the earthquake that capacity utilisation returned to levels roughly similar to those seen prior to the catastrophe Image: dpa Picture Alliance / Pierre Verdy Source: Munich Re Geo Risks Research, Economic Research, Claas Menny (2011): Effects of natural catastrophes on companies: An empirical study of the Maramara earthquake from 17 August 1999, dissertation, KIT; 22/09/

24 Example: Although the earthquakes in Haiti and New Zealand were of roughly similar strength, the effects in Haiti were far worse, i.a. due to the relatively lower level of insurance penetration Haiti earthquake (2 Jan. 2010) Magnitude 7.0 New Zealand earthquake (4 Sep. 2010) Magnitude 7.1 Image: Benjamin J. Myers / Corbis Image: dpa Picture Alliance / David Alexander Overall losses US$ 8bn Overall losses US$ 6.5bn Insured losses US$ 200m (2.5%*) Insured losses US$ 5.2bn (80%*) Cumulative indirect effect** -3.5% of GDP Cumulative indirect effect** -0.4% of GDP Houses destroyed 285,000 Houses damaged 100,000 Fatalities 222,570 (2.5% of the population) Fatalities 0 *) Ratio of insured losses to overall losses, **) Calibration based on von Peter, von Dahlen and Saxena (2012): Unmitigated Disasters?

25 Example: Hurricane Gustav caused higher absolute damage in the USA, but lower relative damage than in Jamaica.

26 In emerging economies, government debt often rises significantly following natural catastrophes* Per-capita debt in industrialised economies Per-capita debt in emerging economies 50% 60% Hypothetical development without catastrophe = trend = baseline 0% -50% -100% -150% Confidence band for estimate Years after catastrophe 40% 20% 0% Figure on the left: for industrialised economies there is no statistically significant deviation in percapita debt versus its trend (= baseline ) after the natural catastrophe takes place in year 0 Figure on the right: emerging economies must expect on average a statistically significant increase in per-capita debt (nearly 30% after five years) Source: Melecky M. et Raddatz C.(2011): How Do Governments Respond after Catastrophes? World Bank; Munich Re Economic Research; *) In this analysis, only weather-related (climatic) natural catastrophes is accounted for 22/09/

28 Insurance cover significantly helps economic recovery following a natural catastrophe Illustration of indirect effects in the short and medium term GDP level Several years Occurrence of catastrophe End of reconstruction Hypothetical GDP development without catastrophe Increase in GDP from the economic stimulus of reconstruction (= indirect positive effects) GDP losses following the catastrophe (= indirect negative effects) Time GDP development in countries with low insurance market penetration GDP development in countries with high insurance market penetration Besides the direct losses from a natural catastrophe (e.g. buildings destroyed), there are also indirect losses (e.g. loss of production in a destroyed factory), which can seriously impact economic output in subsequent years "Positive" indirect effects (e.g. reconstruction boosting the economy) cannot usually compensate for the "negative" indirect effects Insurers provide funds, thus limiting indirect losses Three scientific studies of recent years all came to the same conclusion: Higher insurance market penetration helps to overcome the indirect consequences of natural catastrophes Source: MR Economic Research; graph based on Hallegatte S. et al.

44 Summary and outlook Overall strengthen capital position of Turkish insurance companies Following the introduction of a new solvency regime re-thing cession practice Standard Turkish EQ model (vendor or own) is needed and to be used Currently nat cat model uncertainties are to be considered Lower model uncertainties be means of improved data quality Improve risk assessment and risk management procedures especially for highly exposed risks and industries Consider additional balance sheet protection cover Catastrophic risks do we have enough protection reinsurers view / Jürgen Brucker 22/09/
