<strong>The</strong> <strong>Group</strong> <strong>KD</strong> <strong>Group</strong> Annual Report 2009<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2009<br />

5.2.2 Credit risk<br />

Credit risk is the consequence of an inability on the part of a contracting party to fully repay its obligations or overdue debts. In<br />

terms of financial instruments included in investments, it is the risk that one party in a contract regulating the financial<br />

instrument will cause the other party to incur financial loss due to a default on obligations as a result of a difference between<br />

actual <strong>and</strong> contractually agreed fulfilment of obligations.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Group</strong> manages its credit risk exposure by introducing further limits on individual amounts <strong>and</strong> on already specified<br />

amounts of maximum exposure of individual securities. In order to minimise the risk exposure, the <strong>Group</strong> checks analyses<br />

<strong>and</strong> credit rating scores of issuers of securities. It also manages its credit risk exposure through investments in governmentissued<br />

securities, <strong>and</strong> low-risk securities. <strong>The</strong> procedures for checking the credit of foreign issuers of securities are based on<br />

acquiring credit rating information from international firms such as St<strong>and</strong>ard & Poor’s, Fitch-IBCA <strong>and</strong> Moody’s.<br />

Issuers of securities in Slovenia do not have ratings, but the insurance part of the <strong>Group</strong> has the highest concentration of<br />

investments in debt securities, bank <strong>and</strong> government bonds. <strong>The</strong> credit risk of investment coupons <strong>and</strong> equity securities is<br />

controlled by diversification of investments.<br />

Procedures of verifying credit ratings are based on obtaining <strong>and</strong> reviewing publicly accessible data on the current financial<br />

status of the issuer of financial instruments <strong>and</strong> its future solvency. <strong>The</strong> credit rating of domestic issuers of financial<br />

instruments is determined by the <strong>Group</strong> itself. In checking the issuer’s credit using its own sources, the <strong>Group</strong> checks future<br />

solvency <strong>and</strong> in particular the issuer’s adequacy of expected future cash flows from regular activities, offset against the<br />

outflows for settlement of future liabilities.<br />

In terms of of reinsurance, the same as for financial asset investment, credit risk management procedures relate to verifying<br />

the reinsurer’s credit rating. In accordance with the credit risk management strategy , reinsurance-related liabilities are<br />

reinsured by prime-grade reinsurers. This does not, however, discharge the <strong>Group</strong>’s liability as primary insurer. If a reinsurer<br />

fails to pay a claim for any reason, the <strong>Group</strong> remains liable for the payment to the policyholder. <strong>The</strong> creditworthiness of<br />

reinsurers is considered on an annual basis by reviewing their financial strength prior to finalisation of any contract.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Group</strong> restructures credit risk by establishing limits according to counterparty <strong>and</strong> also according to territory <strong>and</strong> industry.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se risks change regularly.<br />
