4 Business Trend of Insurance in Bangladesh The premium income of life insurance industry was 9.05% more in 2011 compared to It was possible with the expansion of microinsurance; The premium income of non-life insurance industry was 16.06% more in 2011 compared to 2010; In 2012 life fund of Jiban Bima Corporation (JBC) a state-owned Life Insurance Company was USD 180 million approx. and the total life fund of 17 private life insurance companies was USD 2500 million approx.; Total premium income of Sadharan Bima Corporation (SBC) a state-owned General Insurance Company and 43 non-life insurance companies, altogether was USD 310 million. 4
5 Microinsurance Microinsurance is relatively a new concept where the premium is set in such a fashion so that the low-income people can afford to pay it and get the benefit of insurance services; Microinsurance has been receiving attention as an inclusive financial service for the poor and low-income people; Many developing and under-developed countries are in the practice of microinsurance. Some countries, such as Brazil, Peru, India and the Philippines have enacted microinsurance related rules and regulations. 5
6 An Overview of MI in Bangladesh Delta Life Insurance Company (a private company) first launched Micro-insurance products in 1988 through its Grameen Bima Project (GRB) for the poor and low income group of people living in villages; Later, it started another project in 1994, namely, Gono Bima (GNB) for the urban poor and the low income class; These projects are now merged under the name of Gono-Grameen Bima Project (GN-GRB) ; Gonoshashtho Kendra is the first NGO which offered Health Microinsurance services in Bangladesh since 1974; Later on large NGOs like BRAC, Grameen Kalyan, ASA, Proshika, Sajida Foundation and other NGO-MFIs have started microinsurance services in different areas; Premium rates of NGOs were not actuarial based. 6
7 About PKSF Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) was established by the Government as an institution not for profit in 1990; PKSF acts as a second tier organization. It provides financial & nonfinancial services through its 203 active NGO-MFIs known as PKSF s Partner Organizations (POs) having a network of 6500 branches, covering about 95% villages of Bangladesh with million organized members; PKSF s core mandate is sustainable poverty alleviation through employment creation ; PKSF provides institutional development support to the POs for enabling them to serve the poor continuously; PKSF is enjoying high growth rate, loan portfolio of PKSF and its POs stood at USD 457m and USD 1.2b respectively as on December 2013; PKSF has emerged as the largest and model Domestic Apex Financial and Capacity Building Institution in the arena of NGO-MFIs. 7
8 About DIISP PKSF is implementing a pilot project titled Developing Inclusive Insurance Sector Project (DIISP) from Developing Inclusive Insurance Sector Project is financed by Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (JFPR) and administered by Asian Development Bank (ADB); The project is executed by the Ministry of Finance, Govt. of Bangladesh; PKSF is the implementing agency; Under the project PKSF has selected its 40 potential POs for pilot testing of actuarial based microinsurance services; Objective of the project is to reduce the vulnerability of the poor from various shocks like death, health and asset loss through the development of low-cost inclusive insurance services (microinsurance). 8
9 Milestones of DIISP A market assessment survey was conducted in 2011 to understand the insurable shocks of the poor people, willingness to join and willingness to pay; Prepared draft regulatory guideline for microinsurance mainly focusing on policyholders rights and protections along with the assetliability management of the insurer; An internationally renowned Actuary (Mr. Denis Garand) has developed poor-friendly insurance services; The project unit prepared an implementation guideline in local language for smooth operation at field level. 9
10 Proposed MI Services The Actuary of DIISP designed 7 (seven) insurance products and 2 (two) health services: MI Products of DIISP Life Insurance Livestock Insurance (Beef Fattening) Health Insurance & Health Service Endowment Life Term Life Credit Life Health Insurance Health Service In-patient Care Hospital Cash Benefit Primary Care Paramedic Service Health Loan 10
11 Products being Piloted under DIISP PKSF has started actuarial based Credit Life Insurance from September 2013; Credit Life Insurance is the integral part of credit program of POs since inception under DIISP the premium structure was fine tuned by the actuary; Credit life insurance Risks Covered Death of the borrower or spouse/main earning member of the household. Eligibility Only the borrowing members of MFI and their family. Benefit Waiver of outstanding amount of the borrowed loan and a lump sum of BDT 5,000 for funeral cost. Term Until the end of loan cycle (Usually 1 year or less) Premium Structure Not more than 0.7% of the loan amount + BDT 40 Premium payment Mode Paid at the start of a loan 1.3 million received actuarial based credit insurance service up to January US$ = BDT 78 (Approx.) 11
12 Products being Piloted under DIISP (cont.) In 2013 under DIISP 14 POs started Livestock Insurance for Beef Fattening Program targeting the Eid festival and 124,669 cattle were insured; Livestock insurance Risks Covered Death of the Cattle. Eligibility Benefit Term Premium Structure Premium payment Mode Only to borrowing members of beef fattening program. Waiver of the full amount of the borrowed loan. 6 month 10 month (actual loan cycle) 1. Not more than 0.7% of the loan amount + BDT 20 as part of the Para-vet fee. 2. For covering the risk of borrower s death, 0.3% premiums would be added. Paid at the start of a loan 1 US$ = BDT 78 (Approx.) 12
13 Products being Piloted under DIISP (cont.) Under the survey of DIISP it was found that cattle mortality rate was 5.43% in Bangladesh; Unique feature of the livestock insurance program is that POs are providing the veterinary services to the poor farmers, which has significantly reduced the morbidity and mortality rate of the cattle by improving rearing management; The mortality rate of cattle was found 0.33% under DIISP compared to 0.49% under the Beef Fattening program of PKSF; A total of 112,821 beneficiaries received loan in 2013 to procure 124,669 cattle for beef fattening program; Total premium collected in 2013 was US$233,609; US$98,561 was paid to settle 408 claims in US$ = BDT 78 (Approx.) 13
14 Products being Piloted under DIISP (cont.) PKSF has started Paramedic Service and Health Insurance from January 2014; Under Paramedic Service around 200,000 household (1 million persons) will be covered; Paramedic Service Paramedic Service has been introduced as a preparatory step for providing Health Insurance Eligibility Benefit All the microfinance borrowers and their family members; Paramedic provides health awareness and basic health services; Fee MFI can project the cost of paramedic, the supplies needed and the cost of the facility divided by the number of policyholders that are paying the premium. Or, MFI can bear the cost of Paramedic service from the service charge of microcredit. In January 2014, a total of 11,873 members received treatment from the paramedics; 485 patients were referred to doctor/hospital by paramedics; and Awareness campaign covered 25,197 target people. 14
15 Products being Piloted under DIISP (cont.) 3000 members bought health policy in January 2014 ; Hospital Cash benefit Risks Covered Term Premium & Benefit Structure Premium payment Mode If hospitalized for more than 24 hours, a pre-decided benefit would be provided for each day hospitalized up to a maximum of 30 days for a family, excluding the first day. One year from policy purchase date. Premium/Year (Highest 5 Members) (BDT) Premium/Year (Per Additional Members) (BDT) One shot payment at the of policy purchase Benefit/per day (BDT) US$ = BDT 78 (Approx.) 15
16 Innovative solution to Reinsurance Reinsurance service is absent in NGO-MFIs delivery channel of microinsurance. To cover this drawback, the actuary and the legal consultant under DIISP advise PKSF to create a Covariant Risk Fund (CRF) as an alternative to reinsurance ; PKSF has contributed 50 million Taka in CRF; A detailed guideline has been drafted for operating and management of this fund to address the catastrophic risks; CRF will evolve from three sources (i) PKSF s contribution, (ii) fee from the participating NGO/MFIs and (iii) Donors contribution; JFPR has already earmarked USD 400,000 as Guarantee Fund; According to the Actuarary, in Bangladesh USD 6,000,000 would be sufficient to cover one catastrophe and remain well capitalized. 16
17 Regulation Microinsurance under NGO/MFIs in Bangladesh is being offered under the Microcredit Regulatory Authority (MRA) Act 2006 and Microcredit Regulatory Authority (MRA) Rules 2010; Government of Bangladesh is designing a National Insurance Policy which will incorporate microinsurance for low income group. 17
18 Challenges Awareness creation; Poor friendly insurance services, Adverse selection ; Moral hazards etc.; Skilled insurance professional; Financial Management; Reinsurance mechanism; Product fine tuning. 18
19 Opportunities Huge untapped market for microinsurance; Higher insurance demand for health, agricultural, cattle risks; MFI as delivery channel; Microinsurance can be a viable risk management tool for the vulnerable and low-income people. 19
