Reinsurance Market in China 2014-2018
M2 - Wed Feb 26, 3:07AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d2p39k/reinsurance) has announced the addition of the "Reinsurance Market in China 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Reinsurance market in China to grow at a CAGR of 15.55 percent over the period 2013-2018. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: Natural catastrophe losses have increased in the past three decades, mainly due to rising economic values. Increasing urbanization in the coastal regions and the increasing frequency of natural calamities have played a significant role in uptake in the Reinsurance market. This has attracted the attention of the Chinese government to seek to build robust catastrophe insurance and promote the Reinsurance market in the country. The Chinese government outlined these goals in its 12th five year plans. There are also plans to build an insurance exchange in Shanghai, considering the increasing density of insurance and reinsurance players in the market. As a result, the density of insurance and reinsurance companies will increase, with the increasing demand for reinsurance. This will also reduce the burden of higher government debt per capita incurred in the event of natural calamities. One of the major drivers in this market is the robust economic growth. China is one of the leading countries which have exhibited good economic growth, coupled with low inflation rates. As a measure to revive investments in the economy, the government is opening up fiscal and monetary policies. This step will encourage foreign insurance and reinsurance companies to collaborate with Chinese domestic companies and operate in the country. This makes it a potential segment for reinsurance. One of the main challenges in this market is the slower growth in premium income. Global interest rates are currently low, which has lowered investment yields. Consequently, insurance companies are left with adequate capital to fund their risk mitigation strategies, which reduces the demand for reinsurance. Key Topics Covered 1. Executive Summary 2.
