−
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
 
−

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
