Reinsurance in Chile, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2018

Published: Nov, 2014 | Pages: 79 | Publisher: Timetric
Industry: Insurance | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

Synopsis
Reinsurance plays a major role in the Chilean insurance industry, especially for catastrophe exposure, as domestic insurers do not generally have the capital to mitigate these risks. The Chilean reinsurance segment is open to foreign insurers, as there is a negligible number of locally established reinsurers in the country. Non-life insurers cede the largest proportion of premium to reinsurers, while facultative reinsurance was the leading reinsurance category, contributing 60.1% of the segment’s gross written premium in 2013.

The high participation of reinsurers is projected to continue over the forecast period (2013–2018), due to the high catastrophic risk underlying the country. The increasing awareness of insurers is further expected to support the segment’s growth, which is projected to rise at a forecast-period compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0% to value CLP47.6 billion (US$95.2 million) by 2018.
