MARKET CONTEXT

INSURANCE MARKET

OUTLOOK

All markets

  • Global economy is expected to continue to slowdown
  • Inflation continues to surge as supply chain disruptions and high energy prices persist
  • Current developments in Ukraine/Russia and China/Taiwan add uncertainty to the economic outlook
  • Rate hardening in commercial lines and emerging markets will remain key drivers to insurance growth
  • Climate action failure and frequency and severity of extreme weather events remain top risks
  • Great Resignation and a shift to remote work intensifies the war for talent
  • ESG and climate disclosure are shifting towards mandatory reporting

INSURANCE MARKET

OUTLOOK

South Africa

  • Economic growth outlook is revised upwards
  • The short-term outlook for the insurance industry remains positive
  • The surge in inflation, supply chain disruptions and persistent loadshedding will continue to impact claims cost
  • Weather-relatedevents, civil unrest, poor infrastructure maintenance and destruction of property remain key risks for the growth and profitability of the industry
  • Reinsurance rates continue to harden and reduced appetite for South African risks
  • Increased risk awareness should be supportive of growth

KWAZULU-NATAL FLOODS

CURRENT STATUS

  • Gross exposure currently estimated at R4.4 billion
  • Santam's net exposure estimated to be R566 million, inclusive of reinstatement premiums
  • The largest natural catastrophe in Santam's history

OTHER UNDERWRITING FACTORS

CURRENT STATUS

  • Adverse weather conditions in Q1 and several smaller weather-related catastrophe events
  • Claims inflation in excess of premium increases
  • Large losses
  • Power surge claims
  • Increase in motor theft

CONTINGENT BUSINESS INTERRUPTION COVER

CURRENT STATUS

  • Santam reviewed its provisions for CBI claims at 30 June 2022 and the net CBI provision was reduced by R397 million mainly due to
    • actual claims to date being lower than the initial estimates
    • support from all of Santam's catastrophe reinsurers, who are meeting their obligations
  • Some uncertainty remains about ultimate liability - until process has been finalised
  • Steady progress in finalising the open CBI claims - gross CBI claims paid of R4.3 billion and reinsurance recoveries of R2.2 billion to the end of June 2022
