Good practices emerging, expected<br />
to stimulate further growth<br />
• <strong>Microinsurance</strong> refers to insurance products designed for<br />
people living on low incomes.<br />
• Estimated potential market of about four billion customers<br />
and US$40 billion in premium income per year.<br />
• Credit life is the dominant microinsurance product;<br />
however, health and agriculture insurance are also slowly<br />
gaining prominence.<br />
• Designing need-based products that are affordable and<br />
create shared value for insurers and society remain key<br />
areas of concern.<br />
• Microfinance institutions (MFIs) and cooperatives are the<br />
most-preferred distribution channels; however, the role and<br />
significance of different channels differ across regions and<br />
product segments.<br />
• Governments are trying to step up efforts to provide risk<br />
protection to a wider segment of the population by adopting<br />
favorable regulations as well as requiring insurers to create<br />
insurance awareness among the low-income group.<br />
• The microinsurance industry is expected to witness<br />
significant growth led by increasing insurance awareness<br />
through low cost innovative products and distribution<br />
channels being gradually introduced by the insurers.<br />
Government participation through NGOs, public private<br />
partnerships (PPP) and Community-based Organizations<br />
(CBOs) are also likely to help in the enhancement of<br />
microinsurance and the upliftment of the poor.<br />

What is<br />
microinsurance?<br />
<strong>Microinsurance</strong> refers to insurance products that are designed to provide risk<br />
cover for the low-income population. These products have lower premiums and<br />
coverage limits as compared to the traditional insurance products. <strong>Microinsurance</strong><br />
is a form of microfinance, akin to microcredit which provides small loans to people<br />
on low-incomes. For example, in India SKS finance distributes small loans that<br />
begin at about US$44-260 to poor women for starting and expanding simple<br />
businesses. <strong>Microinsurance</strong> is not only providing risk covers to low-income<br />
households but is also seen as a risk management option. Also, the corporate<br />
social responsibility drive towards developing microinsurance solutions in<br />
1, 2, 3<br />
emerging markets is rapidly gaining significance.<br />

<strong>Microinsurance</strong> has seen significant growth in Asia Pacific, particularly in markets such<br />
as India and China. Asia is seen as a region with a vast potential for microinsurance<br />
as it is home to about 70 percent of the world’s low-income population. Largely,<br />
Bangladesh, the Philippines and Indonesia are witnessing rapid growth in<br />
microinsurance. While Africa remains an undertapped market for microinsurance,<br />
insurers are increasingly making an effort to cover the African population by<br />
introducing need-based and easy-to-understand products. In Latin America, Brazil was<br />
one of the first markets to introduce microinsurance with Mexico, Peru and Colombia<br />
following suit. In Central and Eastern Europe, growth in microinsurance has not been<br />

Products and<br />
innovations<br />
Insurers are driving innovation and introducing microinsurance products that<br />
are simple to understand as well as low in premiums. Despite new product<br />
developments, life insurance still remains the most prevalent microinsurance<br />
product, mainly driven by microfinance institutions as it provides life insurance<br />
protection to borrowers, often grouped with microcredit. Credit life protection<br />
facilitates micro-lending, providing a direct benefit to the lender (enabling the loan<br />
to be repaid in the event of death) but only limited direct benefit to the insured<br />
(enabling them to access microfinance); therefore, industry practitioners are<br />
increasing focus on products that offer comprehensive risk coverage. 6<br />
Agriculture and health microinsurance products are gaining popularity; however,<br />
they remain complex in terms of underwriting. These products typically require<br />
a catalyst such as subsidized premiums either in part or full. A public private<br />
partnership could be the key to implement such complex products. Governments<br />
and insurers need to increase insurance awareness among the low-income<br />
population so that simple products with no hidden terms can be introduced to<br />
provide protection to the low-income population rather than to large institutions.<br />
Insurance and product awareness, transaction costs, availability of easy-tounderstand<br />
products, infrastructure and need-based products that are affordable<br />
and create shared value are some challenges that the insurers face while<br />
designing products for the low-income group. 7<br />

Case studies—product<br />
innovation<br />
Aon Bolivia recently launched a new<br />
retirement product targeting the working<br />
class population, which requires regular<br />
payments for 100 months and thereafter<br />
entitles policyholders to receive double<br />
the monthly payment for the next<br />
70 months.<br />
In India, ICICI Prudential Life has<br />
partnered with a tea producer to offer<br />
unit-linked endowment products to<br />
company workers at tea plantations. The<br />
product comes with premium guarantees<br />
and flexible liquidity options.<br />
In 2009, PICC of China introduced a pilot<br />
microinsurance program insuring internal<br />
migrants against accidents and disease.<br />
All the above are examples of innovation<br />
primarily due to need-based products<br />
designed after studying the requirements<br />
of specific groups.<br />

9. The landscape of microinsurance in Latin America and the Caribbean, 2012<br />
10. 7th International <strong>Microinsurance</strong> Conference: Making insurance work for the poor, 2011<br />
Distribution of microinsurance products is dependent on factors such as<br />
collaboration, relationship and trust with the low-income group as well as holding<br />
down associated costs. Microfinance institutions and cooperatives are the<br />
most-preferred distribution channels led by their vast established networks and<br />
proximity to the target market. Existing microinsurance channels also include<br />
NGOs, community, retail/ departmental stores, trade unions, utility companies,<br />
religious faith groups, post offices and commercial banks.<br />
The selection of the right channel mix primarily depends on the region and product<br />
segment. In India and the Philippines, MFIs are predominately used to distribute<br />
microinsurance products, while, in Brazil, utility and telecom companies are<br />
increasingly used. Distribution through retailers is being increasingly utilized in Latin<br />
American markets as well as in South Africa. Funeral insurance continues to be<br />
largely sold by informal burial societies, funeral parlors and cooperative societies.<br />
However, insurers are continuously innovating and introducing distribution channels<br />
that are not only cost efficient but also have a wider reach. Technology is being<br />
extensively used to distribute microinsurance products more efficiently and<br />
effectively. For example, mobile banking is gaining prominence as it is not only an<br />
enabler of client communications, but is also helpful in premium and data collection.<br />
However, the channel has limitations where face-to-face interaction is required.<br />
Insurers also face challenges in terms of the regulatory norms and licensing<br />
requirements of informal distribution along with the right balance of value and<br />

Regulations<br />
<strong>Microinsurance</strong> regulations are different from the traditional insurance regulatory<br />
frameworks as most insurance regulators propose lower capital requirements for<br />
micro insurers. <strong>Microinsurance</strong> regulations are aimed at ensuring simple, easy to<br />
understand products and also encourages new and innovative distribution models,<br />
such as banking correspondents. For example, the South Africa microinsurance<br />
regulatory framework will permit the licensing of a new category of insurers to<br />
provide only microinsurance products. Brazil’s regulations propose lower capital<br />
requirements for micro insurers (20% of the current base capital required), and<br />

Way forward<br />
With the risk management needs of four billion low-income people largely unmet, the potential market for microinsurance<br />
is vast. In addition, for insurers, the segment is expected to become a meaningful avenue for growth going forward.<br />
However, the role of the government is very important in this sector as there is a growing need for a supportive regulatory<br />
framework that facilitates broad-based insurance growth.<br />

How KPMG firms can help<br />
International Development Assistance Services<br />

have seen to that. Energy pricing and security, natural<br />
<strong>Issue</strong> <strong>Digest</strong>: January 2013 | 9<br />
resource pressures, population growth, lifestyle<br />
changes, and consumer preferences are compelling<br />
companies to act. Even those who are following the<br />
global climate change debate from afar understand<br />
that their key stakeholders are already focused on<br />
these issues and the need to capitalize on them. As<br />
a result, there is a new clarion call for executives:<br />
leverage sustainability as a strategic lens on business<br />
operations – to enhance processes, grow revenue,<br />
manage risk, strengthen reporting, optimize costs, and<br />
spur innovation.<br />

competitive advantage.<br />
Financial Risk Management (Market Risk)<br />
• Evaluate existing risk management and trading<br />
control frameworks; identify any weaknesses; offer<br />
practical and appropriate advice on how to strenghten<br />
the controls.<br />
• Preparation for internal Value-at-Risk (VaR)<br />
model approval.<br />
• Quantitiative validations of both VaR and derivative<br />
pricing models.<br />
• Advice on market-to-market and fair value appraisals;<br />
