1993 SNA Update Information - Expert comments for issue:
Seguros no de vida

Issue description
Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish]
Varios casos de indemnizaciones masivas, como las generadas por el ataque terrorista del 11 de septiembre, centraron la atención en la medición de los servicios de seguros no de vida cuando ocurren pérdidas por catástrofe. La producción de los servicios de seguros calculada utilizando el algoritmo del SCN 1993 depende del balance de las primas e indemnizaciones (sobre una base de devengado). Por consiguiente, puede ser sumamente volátil (incluso negativa) en catástrofes mayores, y dicha volatilidad repercute en el PIB y en la balanza de pagos (reaseguro). El objetivo de la revisión es proponer mediciones que sean más acordes con la noción de la producción de esta actividad. En particular, se tendrán en cuenta los aspectos de mediano a largo plazo del seguro no de vida. El análisis de este tema incluirá la medición de la producción de servicios de seguro no de vida desde el punto de vista del volumen.

 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.
