1993 SNA Update Information - Expert comments for issue:
Assurance dommages

Issue description
Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish]
Plusieurs cas de sinistres énormes, notamment ceux qui ont fait suite aux attentats terroristes du 11 septembre, ont concentré l’attention sur la mesure des services d’assurance dommages en cas de catastrophe. La situation appelle nécessairement l’examen du traitement de la réassurance. La production des services d’assurance calculée au moyen de l’algorithme du SCN de 1993 dépend de l’équilibre des primes et des indemnités (selon la méthode des droits et obligations). Elle peut donc être extrêmement volatile (négative même) à la suite de catastrophes, situation qui se répercute sur le PIB et la balance des paiements (réassurance). Le présent examen a pour objet de proposer des mesures qui reconnaîtraient la manière de voir la production associée à l’activité. Notamment, des aspects à moyen et à long terme de l’assurance dommages doivent être pris en considération. La question englobera également la mesure de la production en volume des services d’assurance dommages.

 8/11/2004Fadhil Mahdi (ESCWA)1. In reference to what was raised on this issue, we have no objection with the main recommendation proposed which is related to the changes in the way of measuring the output of non-life insurance services according to the formula included in the SNA 1993. However, it is necessary to replace claims and premium supplements with adjusted claims and the adjusted premium supplements (AEG proposed for the underlined item to be optional when applying the formula). 2. As for estimating the adjusted claims, it is proposed to use one of the three approaches: a. The expectation approach b. The accounting approach c. The sum of costs plus "normal" profit Our views with respect to these approaches depend on the details and explanations of each approach that will be released in the new special annex on non-life insurance. Also an implementation manual needs to be attached to the SNA rev.l by end 2007. We also recommend that such annex and the manual must include numerical examples to clarify the methodology to be used for calculations.
