Scope

• Our project examined Zurich’s potential entry into eight Central Asia republics.

Analyses

• Methodology included analysis of the broader market, regulatory environment, and competitive landscape (insurers and product offerings).

Market

Analysis

• Preliminary scoring based on broad market outlook yielded a highest priority group of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia.

Entry

Method

• Survey of regulatory environments and entry precedents informed entry method recommendations and revised the highest priority group to include Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Pakistan.

Product

Offering

• The state of insurance markets across target countries indicate that short-tail business would be a sensible entry point for Zurich, along with other niche opportunities.

Forecast

s

• Our high-level forecast model used steady-state assumptions to generate financial performance benchmarks upon entry via greenfield, acquisition, and reinsurance into priority markets.

Business Plan

s

• Recommendations are presented as individual business plans by target market (timeline, entry method, product offering, and benchmark).

Our general market analysis examined key environmental metrics to tier target markets

• Goal: Tier target markets in phases according to priority level for potential Zurich entry

• Methodology:• Six different indicators were used to assess the

economic, social and political environment in these countries

• We developed a model to score, weight, and rank countries according to key market indicators

• We then assigned preliminary designations (“Tiers”)• Tier I (immediate entry)• Tier II (entry in ~5 years)• Tier III (entry in ~10 years)

Regulatory barriers and precedents formed the basis of our entry method recommendations

• Goal: Identify most advisable entry strategy by country

• Methodology:• Research regulatory and other barriers for market

entry• Research case studies of competitor entrance in

target markets• Identify criteria to evaluate entry methods given

market analysis and barriers research• Prioritize entry strategies (acquisition, greenfield,

joint venture, reinsurance) based on classification of market

Two primary environment metrics were used to prioritize entry methods for each country

15

Metric 1: Established Attractiveness of Market

Markets scored high on this dimension due to the following characteristics:• Existing regulations encouraging FDI• Past precedents of market entry• Past reforms to develop insurance /

financial services industry• Mandatory insurance lines

Metric 2: Positive Market Trends

Markets scored high on this dimension due to the following characteristics:• Recent / forthcoming regulation

reducing competition (e.g., raising capital requirements)

• Recent compulsory insurance lines• Growth focused on private sector and

insurance lines of business

AZERBAIJAN

16

Azerbaijan’s strong established insurance market, combined with its developments in mandatory insurance, past precedent of acquisition, and overall growth trajectory makes this market a prime candidate for

acquisition or greenfield entry.

Established Attractiveness of Market:• Mandatory Insurance Lines: Azerbaijan requires fire insurance for all

commercial premises and third party motor insurance.• Precedent of Success: AXA successfully purchased a majority holding in

MBASK in 2010.• Overall Growth: Though the explosive growth in insurance has slowed

somewhat over the last couple of years, Azerbaijan remains very much a developing market.

Positive Market Trends:• More Mandatory Insurance Lines: Recently, real estate, exploitation of real

estate, and motor passenger insurance have all become compulsory lines.• Decreasing Local Competition (?): Recent increases in capital

requirements may squeeze smaller local players out of the market and/or leave them vulnerable for acquisition.

Areas of Concern:• Confusion in Profit Tax Exemption: Insurers required to pay 10% profit tax

despite earlier government promises of exemption • Potential for Global Competition: Opportunities for Zurich are also

opportunities for the competition, requiring differentiation and speedy entry.

Entry Method Recommendation:

Project Scope Market Analysis Entry Method Products Forecast Recommendations Summary

KAZAKHSTAN

17

Entry Method Recommendation:

Kazakhstan enjoys the largest economy in the region with strong macroeconomic trends and created a Financial Supervision Authority to

further develop the local insurance industry. This market is a recommended candidate for acquisition or greenfield entry.

Established Attractiveness of Market:• Existing Market Strength: Largest economy of the region with established

FDI council providing support for foreign companies entering market.• Financial Supervision Authority (FSA): Infrastructure in place to develop

insurance industry and bring local legal / regulatory framework to standards of EU and IAIS.

• Precedents for Market Entry: Relatively straightforward procedures to establish subsidiaries enabled Chartis and Generali to do so successfully.

Positive Market Trends:• Significant Recent Growth: 2011 was a strong year for local insurance,

with 25% year-over-year growth in written premiums.• Anticipated Consolidation: With rising capital requirements, smaller

companies will be vulnerable to acquisitive activity.• Growing Sophistication: FSA developed earthquake insurance evaluation

and risk model in 2010 to better inform decisions of local insurers.

Areas of Concern:• Higher Taxes: Insurers have been moved to the general taxation regime

earlier this year (4% to 20%).• State Competition: Largest four commercial banks were taken into partial

state ownership in 2009; all four have insurance subsidiaries.Project Scope Market Analysis Entry Method Products Forecast Recommendations Summary

PAKISTAN

18

Pakistan offers mature insurance legislation, a move towards increased mandatory lines, and growth opportunities in niche areas, on top of being

one of the largest insurance markets in the region. However, due to the regulatory environment, Pakistan is better suited for a branch office or JV.

Established Attractiveness of Market:• Mature Market with Opportunities: Large insurance market with significant

amount of competition, but still presents opportunities in niche lines, such as terrorism covers and micro-insurance, following SECP report on insurance needs of low-income people in response to 2010 floods.

• More Mandatory Lines: The World Bank and SECP are forming regulations to provide protection to individual victims of terrorism, rain, flood, and earthquake.

• Past Precedents: Successful JV by Allianz to become leader in healthcare; Chartis and ACE able to operate or convert branch offices into subsidiaries to continue growth in this market.

Negative Market Trends:• Instability: Social turmoil and lawlessness are prevalent, and the judicial

system is not entirely reliable.• M&A Difficulty: High cost of financing can negate any synergistic gains

from M&A, and insider trading has led to reluctance among locals in pursuing such deals.

Entry Method Recommendation:

Page 19: Georgetown MBA Presentation - Zurich UAE Analysis of Central Asia 3.5.12

MONGOLIA

19

Mongolia’s insurance market has recently experienced positive steps in both stabilizing regulation and in industry growth. However, due to the still

immature nature of the market and the concentration among few competitors, this market is better suited for JVs and/or reinsurance.

Immaturity of Market:• Small Scale: Relatively large number of insurers fighting over small

premium pot, without benefit of substantial compulsory insurance driving consumption; over 60% of premium written by top three companies.

• Privatization: Two largest insurers, Mongol Daatgal and Tushig Daatgal, were state-owned until 2003, potentially leading to added competition.

Positive Market Trends:• Stabilizing Regulation: New insurance laws passed in 2004; Financial

Regulatory Commission created in 2006 to oversee insurance companies.• Segment-driven Growth: Motor liability made compulsory in January 2012;

volume of mining projects leading to greater standardization for international investors; life insurance growing and encouraged by the IMF and Mongolian government.

• Growth in Reinsurance Spend: Mongol Daatgal recently began purchasing reinsurance treaty from Hannover Re; others are anticipated to follow suit.

KYRGYZSTAN

20

While Kyrgyzstan may pose a growth opportunity in the future, its current small, undeveloped, and unstable insurance market combined with overall turmoil in the country makes this market too risky for near- or

medium-term entry, aside from the possibility of reinsurance.

Immaturity of Market:• Instability of Large Competitors: AUB Insurance shot to the top as the

market leader in 2009, only to go bankrupt and nationalized following inability to meet obligations in April 2010 uprisings.

• Few Compulsory Lines to Drive Adoption: Insurance is not trusted among consumers, and adoption issues are not mitigated via mandating insurance consumption.

• Heavy State Involvement: Insurance is tightly controlled by the state, but given the instability of the state government, this presents a very risky situation for insurers operating in the market.

Negative Market Trends:• Ongoing Market Turmoil: With high degree of civil unrest and corruption,

insurance, among other businesses, remain difficult to penetrate and within which to operate.

TAJIKISTAN

21

Tajikistan has proposed several initiatives that would enhance the stability and growth prospects of the local insurance market. As those initiatives have yet to gain momentum, and the current market is dominated by a

legal monopoly, this market is not advisable for entry at this time.

Immaturity of Market:• Legal Monopoly: State-owned insurer Gosstrakh currently dominates the

compulsory lines of insurance, which makes new entry difficult, since overall insurance consumption is not very high in this market.

• Relatively Novel Stabilization (?): Anticipate stable and growing market in future, but somewhat early to tell (e.g., local currency is only ten years old; export-heavy economy highly vulnerable to exogenous shocks).

Negative Market Trends:• Lack of Momentum: Legislation accompanying ten new compulsory

classes proposed in 2010 have yet to be written; market is limited to basic insurance lines and local players.

TURKMENISTAN

22

Entry Method Recommendation:

Turkmenistan’s insurance market remains dominated by one state-owned insurer following renationalization about a decade prior. Until the market

(that is, the state and the one insurer) show signs of opening up to additional insurers, entry into this market is not feasible.

Immaturity of Market:• Monopoly as Relic of Soviet Era: Turkmen Gosstrakh controls all

government business and most compulsory lines, without indication of opening up the market; cites mission to promote stability and growth of Turkmenistan.

Negative Market Trends:• Renationalization: 15 private insurers/reinsurers closed in 2000 as part of

renationalization effort

UZBEKISTAN

23

Like Tajikistan, Uzbekistan has proposed reforms to the insurance sector. However, these reforms (among other economic reforms) have

been slow to materialize, compounded by the overarching poverty of the country and long-standing state control of insurance. Entry is not

advisable at this time.

Immaturity of Market:• Lack of Openness: Not only is there a legal monopoly on compulsory

lines, but the state insurance regulator is also highly reticent on information / data regarding the insurance market, making due diligence prior to entry very difficult. Neighboring Kazakh investors are unable to enter.

• Domination of State Companies: Though the Uzbek government has acknowledged the importance of privatizing the insurance sector, these reforms have been slow to gain momentum.

Negative Market Trends:• Poverty Stagnates Insurance Growth: Due to high degree of poverty,

insurance is more likely to grow in the commercial sector. However, the commercial sector itself is unable to grow with the current restrictive atmosphere of this market.

• Goal: Recommend products and services for Zurich to offer upon market entry

• Methodology:• Research insurance market by country (size,

concentration, growth, major lines of business)• Analyze competitors’ presence, both global

insurers and local providers• Identify areas of alignment among Zurich’s

expertise, market trends, and competition

• Key Outcomes:• Sophistication of local insurance market aligns

with overall stability of country• Target markets have significant room for growth• Main concern is high concentration and

competition

Project Scope Market Analysis Entry Method Products Forecast Recommendations Summary

Phase of entry: Phase ONE; we recommend immediate entry. Azerbaijan ranks number two in our model finishing in the top three spots for half of our model’s indicators. Openness, capital markets, and product markets still show room for improvement; however, the country has mandatory insurance lines and precedent of success of other insurance companies entering the market. Recently, more insurance lines have become mandatory and higher capital requirements have squeezed out smaller competitors.

Entry Method: Azerbaijan has a strong established insurance market, combined with development of mandatory insurance. Additionally, it has solid past precedent of acquisition and growth trajectories. Taking into account the high capital requirements in Azerbaijan, we recommend acquisition of a local company. Our research shows Ateshgah (major player in energy), International Insurance Co. (possible capability for financial products) and Azersigorta as potential candidates, due to competitive position in the market, experience writing diverse lines of business, and other niche opportunities. Potential concerns include the need to pay 10% profit tax despite promise of exemption and potential global competition.

Product Offering: Predominant lines of business of potential companies to acquire are: i) property / motor, ii) worker’s compensation, iii) healthcare and iv) marine. There are opportunities in diverse industries within Azerbaijan such as energy, agriculture, food, and construction.

Forecast 2013-2018: Acquisition of Target Comparable to Ateshgah yields $20.3M in profit, less $9.7M in acquisition and integration costs

Greenfield Entry yields $12.4M in profit

Page 45: Georgetown MBA Presentation - Zurich UAE Analysis of Central Asia 3.5.12

Phase of entry: Phase ONE; we recommend immediate entry. Apart from the Capital Market indicators, where it is ranked as number two, this country ranks number one in every sector of our model. It represents the best option among the eight countries that we evaluated. Kazakhstan enjoys the largest economy in the region with strong macroeconomic trends and created a Financial Supervision Authority to further develop the local insurance industry.

Entry Method: Given the country’s existing market strength and straightforward procedures for establishing local subsidiaries, we recommend acquisition of an existing company within Kazakhstan or a greenfield entry. Our research shows Kazkommerts-Policy (second largest, bank owned) and Nomad Insurance (strong underwriting operations) as two potential acquisitions. However, there are several other smaller operators that can also represent good opportunities.Potential concerns include higher taxes which have recently been raised from 4% to 20%, as well as state competition which partially owns four of the largest commercial banks.

Product Offering: Predominant lines of business of potential companies to acquire are: i) property / motor, ii) worker’s compensation, iii) liability and iv) marine. A secondary potential opportunity is the growing property cat R/I market within Kazakhstan.

Forecast 2013-2018: Acquisition of Target Comparable to Kazkommerts-Policy yields $263.3M in profit, less $182.6M in acquisition and integration costs

Greenfield Entry yields $155.1M in profit, less start-up costs

Phase of entry: Phase ONE; we recommend immediate entry, as Pakistan is both a mature market and trending towards increased mandatory insurance lines. There are opportunities in niche areas such as terrorism insurance and Pakistan is quickly becoming one of the largest insurance markets in Central Asia. However, serious risks remain in political stability and economic development that might offset gains in the insurance sector policy development.

Entry Method: The mergers and acquisitions regulatory environment in Pakistan is not stable and for this reason we recommend opening a branch office or entering into a joint venture. M&A activities are difficult in Pakistan due to lack of industry synergy and large industrial development base and product markets. The World Bank and the SECP are currently developing newer regulations for individual protection for terrorism, flood, rain and earthquakes to allay government reliance in event of such catastrophic events. In the past competitors such as ACE, Allianzs and Chartis have entered into successful JVs and opened new branches.

Product Offering: Predominant lines of business of potential companies to enter into joint venture or branch offices are i) property, ii) motor and iii) marine (transportation) insurance. These represent growing areas in the Pakistani market.

Forecast 2013-2018: Greenfield Entry yields $111.4M in profit, less start-up costs

Phase of entry: Phase TWO; we recommend entry within five years. There has been tremendous industry growth in Mongolia and regulations are emerging to stabilize the markets. However, the insurance industry is still small and just beginning to mature.

Entry Method: Joint ventures and reinsurance are the two methods suitable in Mongolia, particularly for entry in the nearer term. The immaturity of the markets makes the scope smaller and the rate of privatization has yet to pick up. The mining sector is experiencing a lot of growth and more insurance lines are being made mandatory. There is potential for growth in reinsurance, with Mongol Daatgal setting a purchase precedent. Overall the country shows a lot of potential in the medium term. However the two largest insurers were state owned until recently, enjoy government support still, and might hinder free market competitors. New regulations are in the pipeline and will aid new entrants in the near future.

Product Offering: Predominant lines of business of potential companies to enter into joint venture or reinsurance are i) property, ii) motor, iii) liability, iv) marine (transportation) insurance and v) non-life insurance lines such as personal accident and health care. These take into account the trends in the market in Mongolia.

Forecast 2014-2018: Pro rata reinsurance treaty with target comparable to Bodi Daatgal yields $4.53M in net premium accruing to Zurich

Phase of entry: Phase THREE. No entry recommended at this time.

Necessary Developments for Entry: Before entry is worth considering, political and market turmoil must calm and stabilize. Kyrgyzstan must also climb out of recession, show some signs of sustained growth, and indicate signs of an emerging consumer class

Other Areas to Monitor: Expansion of compulsory lines of insurance would also indicate potential growth in insurance consumption.

Phase of entry: Phase THREE. No entry recommended at this time.

Necessary Developments for Entry: Government would first need to relinquish monopoly of insurance, which it has shown no indication of doing. Additionally, the state must relax overall control of economy, and unemployment must stabilize and recede, enabling growth of consumer class beyond elites.

Phase of entry: Phase THREE. No entry recommended at this time.

Necessary Developments for Entry: Government would first need to open up compulsory lines of insurance to competitors. Inflation must stabilize for sustained periods and the state must harness growth of energy industry in a way that expands overall economy and drives down unemployment.

Other Areas to Monitor: Insurance reforms which have yet to take effect need to be implemented so that the business is sustainable within the country.
