Gap in Islamic Finance
 
  • Islamic Banks contracts require assets to be insured
 
    with a Takaful company as per Shariah requirement.
 
    • Many potential consumers of Islamic Finance stay away due to Insurance
 
      being on conventional basis.
 
    • Doctrine of Necessity applied till Takaful was not available.
 
    • Takaful Rules promulgated in September 2005.
 
    • One General takaful operator since last one year. More to follow in coming
 
      months giving consumers a choice within takaful.
 
    • Takaful exists for almost 30 years – typically with 2 to 3 years lag with
 
      Islamic banking development. Started with Sudan, later ME and Malaysia.
 
  • Also number of synergies could be created with Islamic
 
    banks distributing takaful products (BancaTakaful) or
 
    setting up takaful companies with equity participation.
 
    • Standing requirement of Islamic Banks for Islamic House Mortgage
 
      schemes, Car Ijarah schemes as integrated benefits.
 
    • Distribution of Takaful Savings and Protection plans in different forms.

CONVENTIONAL INSURANCE
 
 Indemnification against unforeseen financial losses
 
  (not to profit from loss)
 
 Commercial Risk Transfer
 
 Law of Large numbers - Insurance company pools
 
  risks/reinsures above capacity.
 
 Recovers expenses for managing the pool
 
 Investment return under life insurance shared with
 
  PHs based on Actuarial Valuation or otherwise.
 
 Profit for the shareholders based on Underwriting
 
  results and Investment income
 
Actuarial Services Division Sidat Hyder Morshed Associates (Pvt) Ltd
 
 
OBJECTIONS TO CONVENTIONAL INS
 
      Objections to Conventional Ins
 
 Elements of:
 
     Uncertainty – Gharrar (non-existence of
 
          goods, un-known quantity, timing) in a
 
          commercial risk transfer contract.
 
     Interest – Riba
 
Actuarial Services Division  Sidat Hyder Morshed Associates (Pvt) Ltd
 
 
BASIC CONCEPT OF TAKAFUL
 
 Takaful means “Joint Guarantee” for mutual
 
    assistance within a group. Each member of the group
 
    pools to support the needy within the group.
 
 Mutual protection contains elements of cooperation,
 
    shared responsibility joint help – all encompassing in
 
    takaful concept
 
 Principle objective is the same as Insurance - to
 
    indemnify against unforeseen financial losses.
 
 Mechanism followed is however different.
 
 An economic institution whereby the losses of the
 
    unfortunate few are shared by the contribution of the
 
    fortunate many who are exposed to the same risk on
 
    “Co-operative Risk Sharing” basis.
 
Actuarial Services Division  Sidat Hyder Morshed Associates (Pvt) Ltd
 
 
HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM INSURANCE
 
  Concept of “Risk Manager” NOT “Risk Taker”
 
  Underwriting Surplus belong to Participants
 
  Underwriting Deficit may be shared by participants
 
  Risk Management
 
     Underwriting as usual
 
     Ensure Risk premium adequate – not commercial
 
        driven
 
     Retakaful Pool instead of Reinsurance
 
     Interest free loan by SH (Qard Hasnah)
 
 Investments compatible with Shariah based on Profit
 
    Sharing principles

    Takaful Rules 2005
 
Capital requirement – 80 m for General and 150 m for

    Takaful Rules 2005
 
    Takaful company can also share risks on
 
      coinsurance basis from outside Pakistan
 
    Can use conventional reinsurance, only if
 
      retakaful is not available and if Shariah Board
 
      permits. Wakala based would be preferred.
 
    Windows not allowed for atleast 5 years
 
    Transformation of existing conventional general
 
      companies is allowed in one year
 
    Three member Shariah Board and Annual
 
      Shariah Audit

RE TAKAFUL
 
 Retakaful solutions evolving although not
 
    enough capacity available.
 
 Best Re (Tunisia), Asean Re (Labuan) and
 
    Tokyo Marine are providing retakaful based on
 
    Mudaraba model. Shariah scholars and SECP
 
    have objections to Mudaraba model. Need to
 
    look for Wakala based Retakaful solutions as a
 
    preferred route.
 
 Lloyds syndicate is setting up a Retakaful
 
    solution for General Takaful.
 
Actuarial Services Division Sidat Hyder Morshed Associates (Pvt) Ltd
 
 
RE TAKAFUL
 
 Takaful Re launched in Dubai by ARIG with $125 m capital.
 
  Recently rated BBB by S&P becoming the 1st Retakaful operator
 
  with a rating and Wakala based model.
 
 Swiss Re recently launched Wakala based Family Retakaful Fund.
 
 Hannover Re is working on Retakaful solutions.
 
 Munich Re has also incorporated its Retakaful subsidiary in
 
  Malaysia.
 
 “Doctrine of Necessity” may no longer be justified hopefully
 
  leading to Takaful being backed by RETAKAFUL rather than
 
  Reinsurance.
 
 Government/ SECP needs to encourage setting up of Retakaful
 
  pools.
 
     Possibly within NICL / PRCL for General Retakaful
 
     State Life for Family Retakaful

Market Potential
 
  Pakistan’s insurance
 
  density and insurance
 
  penetration rates low.
 
  Reasons – Lack of
 
  awareness and religious
 
  concerns.
 
  Takaful can help push
 
  the penetration rates up.

Opportunities – General Takaful
 
   Islamic Banks have a mandated requirement / moral obligation to insure
 
    assets from a takaful company if available.
 
    • Islamic Banks had disbursed Rs.58 billion (approx) – June 2006 in
 
      various assets
 
   General Insurance market size 2005– GWP Rs. 20 Billion (approx.), 38
 
    companies
 
    • Even if 10% switch to this basis it is more than Rs. 2.0 billion.
 
   Untapped Market - Individuals do not take insurance - Motor, PA, Health,
 
    Home
 
    • Even if 10% of existing market do not insure for religious reasons, its
 
      over 2 billion.
 
  A large number of industrial groups have shown interest in takaful.
 
  Only one Takaful operator licensed in Pakistan, so far!! – More to follow
 
Actuarial Services Division          Sidat Hyder Morshed Associates (Pvt) Ltd
 
 
Opportunities – Family Takaful
 
    Islamic Banks require life cover for House financing etc.
 
    Life Insurance market size 2005– GWP Rs. 18 Billion (approx.), 4
 
    private sector companies. Talks of SLIC being privatised in some
 
    form.
 
      Even if 10% switch to this basis it is more than Rs. 1.8 billion.
 
    Untapped Market - Individuals do not take insurance – Just 2.5
 
    million individual life policies
 
      Even if 10% of existing market do not insure for religious
 
        reasons, its almost 2 billion.
 
    A large number of industrial groups are interested in group life and
 
    health benefits based on takaful.
 
    No Life takaful operator so far!! – Some under formation

TAKAFUL IN THE WORLD
 
    • World Takaful Conference Dubai April 2006
 
    • Around 70-80 companies are now operating in 28 countries.
 
    • Takaful is one of the fastest growing sectors of the insurance
 
      industry with around 20 per cent annual growth compared to
 
      less than 10% for conventional.
 
    • Global Takaful premiums are estimated at $3 billion, of which
 
      60 per cent is general takaful and the remaining is family
 
      takaful.
 
    • Middle East accounts for 36 per cent of premiums and about
 
      56 per cent is generated in South East Asia.

SYNERGIES AMONGST ISLAMIC
 
FINANCE PARTICIPANTS
 
                              Takaful Operators,
 
                              banks and Capital
 
                                market players
 
                            continuously focus on
 
                              product building to
 
                            offer more attractive
 
                            products that fulfill the
 
                            differentiated needs of
 
                                the customers.
 
Actuarial Services Division            Sidat Hyder Morshed Associates (Pvt) Ltd
 
 
Synergies in Islamic Financial System
 
  • Islamic Banks, Capital Markets and Takaful Operators work together to develop
 
    products using each others strengths leading to competitive products.
 
  • Takaful Operators fill the gap by providing Shariah compliant protection for Islamic
 
    Financing Products.
 
  • Islamic Banks and takaful operators work together to distribute takaful savings
 
    and protection products under bancatakaful arrangements in a more cost effective
 
    manner leading to better consumer values.
 
  • Takaful Operators need longer term investments which fulfill the long term
 
    financing needs of Islamic financial institutions
 
  • Long term investments enable takaful operators to offer better returns to its
 
    customers and shareholders.
 
Actuarial Services Division                Sidat Hyder Morshed Associates (Pvt) Ltd
 
 
BANCATAKAFUL
 
  • A mechanism for distribution of takaful products through banks.
 
    Advantages for banks:
 
    • Additional fee income from existing customers received upfront.
 
    • Additional product offering
 
    • Increase customer retention by offering long term plans
 
  • Simple examples are:
 
    • Motor Takaful policy with Car Ijarah of Islamic Bank
 
    • Family Takaful cover with Housing or other financing facility.
 
    • Depositors protection
 
    • Credit card protection
 
  • More complex products include:
 
    • Savings products
 
    • Education products
 
    • Retirement products
 
    • Protection products
 
Actuarial Services Division          Sidat Hyder Morshed Associates (Pvt) Ltd
 
 
BANCATAKAFUL TRENDS IN ASIA
 
  • Based on research conducted by Swiss Re Sigma report (2002)
 
    “…by 2006, bancassurance could potentially account for 13% of total
 
    premiums collected in Asia’s life insurance sector and 6% in the non-life
 
    sector”.
 
  • A large interest from insurers at this time as they seek to diversify
 
    from traditional and less productive agency channels.
 
  • Distribution agreements appear to be increasingly common as a
 
    business model in Asia Pacific but increasing focus by major banks
 
    in JVs and ownership models.
 
  • Most of the larger banks in each country have an interest in a
 
    bancassurance operation, or plans to enter the ‘manufacturing’ area
 
    – moving from ‘fee income’ to ‘value creation’, by setting up its own
 
    insurance company.
 
Actuarial Services Division            Sidat Hyder Morshed Associates (Pvt) Ltd
 
 
Recap
 
• Protection against unforeseen financial losses is a
 
  concern for many. Religious prohibition stops.
 
• Takaful Offers a huge potential market by filling the
 
  gap which remains untapped at present.
 
• Competitive Pricing of Takaful products would remain
 
  a key factor along with quality service.
 
• Bancatakaful could fast track efficient distribution and
 
  better customer value.
 
• Adherence to Shariah principles in operational
 
  practices would be the long term driver for success.
