5 Global Outlook: modest growth, low interest rates and mild inflation Global growth is gradually accelerating this year The US expansion is expected to strengthen in 2013 and into 2014, driven by consumer spending, business investment and housing construction. Chinese growth expected to accelerate again in the second half of 2013, but only slightly. Emerging market economies are watching for the next US Central Bank move, but there is still some room for fiscal stimulus. Europe is in a mild recession which appears to be ending. Growth is hampered by fiscal austerity and tight credit conditions in the peripheral economies, but activity is slowly improving. Easy monetary conditions will continue: Yields on long-term government bonds will remain low, but are expected to continue rising, particularly next year. Inflation risks are well contained for now, but the long-term outlook is more uncertain. Central banks have the tools to control inflation, but they could potentially be constrained by the political need to reduce deficits (eg, Japan!). The top key risk that could derail global growth is a policy error in the Euro area. The risk of a fiscal policy error in the US is now unlikely. Other risks include Japan faltering, an oil price shock and a hard landing in China. Swiss Re Economic Research & Consulting 4

14 ER&C interest rate forecast Fed begins hiking in 2015, reaches 1.75% on Fed funds rate by end-2015, 3% by end This is slower than in the glacially slow hiking of , which helped cause a housing bubble, so this risk is rising The pace of rate hikes will depend on strength of economic growth and rate of inflation % inflation will certainly be tolerated 10-year T-note rises to 3.5% (end-2015), then 4.75% by end-2016 Total impact of Quantitative Easing and Treasury's on Fed's balance sheet lowers long-term rates in the US by about 50bp (ER&C estimate and also consensus from survey of literature). Tapering to start soon? Growth and expectation of Tapering has pushed up interest rates. Growth likely to be weak in Q3, so stable yields expected to end ECB rate hikes will probably lag the US due to the more sluggish recovery. BoE probably before ECB, while BoJ only begins hiking if inflation gets high Swiss Re Economic Research & Consulting 13
15 Impacts of Euro zone crisis on Asian economies Swiss Re Economic Research & Consulting 14
16 Impacts of Euro-crisis on Asian economies Trade Asia's export growth has decelerated since mid-2010, with exports to Eurozone underperforming. However, growth has shown mild rebound since late-2012 Asian trades with Eurozone is material but direct exposure to GIIPS are relatively small. Bank credits European banks remain a key provider of credit to most countries in Asia, and credit from European banks to Asia has not retreated post the crises Other international banks have aggressively increased their exposure to Asia Asian countries have adequate reserves to absorb external funding shocks Financial markets Asian equities have performed better than European stocks since early 2010 Volatility has increased partly because of uncertainty over US Fed Taper Increasing correlations between markets has made it more difficult for investors to diversify Swiss Re Economic Research & Consulting 15

29 Market Outlook Non-life insurance demand will continue to derive support from A strong infrastructure pipeline Urbanisation, motorisation and industrialisation Rising nat cat risk awareness Life & health insurance demand is recovering, supported by Further increase in household income Increasing demand for health and medical products Increasing attention paid to retirement market More interest in strengthening capital base (partly in expectation of tighter solvency standards) Primary insurers shifting from focusing on market-share to profitability Swiss Re Economic Research & Consulting 28
30 Challenges ahead: more competition introduced into the market Non-life: The opening to foreign insurers of motor compulsory liability insurance On-going motor tariff liberalization is expected to allow more freedom in pricing and squeeze on insurers' profitability L&H: The cap on interest rates (2.5%) for standard life insurance products will be scrapped, paving the way for more competition in the market Interest rate liberalization in China will intensify competition for household savings business and put pressure on life insurance products Swiss Re Economic Research & Consulting 29

33 Major drivers behind increasing casualty insurance demand in China 1 Economic growth and rebalancing towards domestic consumption increasing consumerism 2 3 Urbanisation is supporting further motorisation in China benefit to motor liability classes Regulatory changes (eg Tort Reform in 2009 extending the scope on which strict liability applies) 4 Requirement of liability insurance for high-risk industries in Beijing sets an example for other cities to follow Swiss Re Economic Research & Consulting 32
34 Urbanisation will support increasing car ownership in China, and drive motor insurance growth 250 Passenger cars per 1000 inhabitants 200 Beijing 150 Shanghai 100 Tianjin Urbanisation rate, % Note: Each marker represents one individual region in China based on 2011 data.

35 Conclusion Swiss Re Economic Research & Consulting 34
36 Conclusion Global growth will gradually improve this year into next The major Central Banks will likely be raising interest rates by early 2015 Euro zone crisis is slowing growth in Asian economies, but not leading to significant problems Fed Tapering will raise borrowing costs in Asian economies China's economy remains resilient with growth stabilizing at 7-7.5% over the coming years. Chinese P&C market is expected to grow robustly at over 10% in short-term (after inflation) Casualty lines will have many growth opportunities Motor insurance in the short term New areas will stem from pollution issues, urbanisation, rising concerns about food safety, and changes in the regulatory and legal environment Swiss Re Economic Research & Consulting 35
