REACŢII ALE MARILOR ASIGURĂTORI<br />

LA CRIZA ECONOMICĂ MONDIALĂ<br />

Diana HANCU<br />

Great World Insurers’ Reactions to the Glob<strong>al</strong> Economic Crisis<br />

Abstract. Today’s ch<strong>al</strong>lenging capit<strong>al</strong> markets, together with enhanced<br />

risk measurement and management capabilities, are driving insurers to change<br />

long-standing investment practices. To capit<strong>al</strong>ize successfully on current and<br />

future trends, insurers will <strong>al</strong>so need to maximize efficiencies around the<br />

marketing and distribution of insurance products. The survivors will be those<br />

companies that accurately assess the v<strong>al</strong>ue they bring, focus on core competencies<br />

and make the correct <strong>de</strong>cisions about partnerships. While it is expected that the<br />

recession will reduce <strong>de</strong>mand for insurance cover, capit<strong>al</strong> shortages will support<br />

the upward movement of prices. Furthermore, <strong>de</strong>mand for addition<strong>al</strong> cover should<br />

increase in 2010 <strong>al</strong>ong with the economy. Profitability in non-life is likely to<br />

improve, mainly due to rising prices and stronger investment results.<br />

Key words: risk management, organization<strong>al</strong> behavior, strategic<br />

management, sustainable <strong>de</strong>velopment.<br />

Criza financiară glob<strong>al</strong>ă a lovit sectorul asigurărilor <strong>de</strong> viaţă<br />

mai <strong>al</strong>es în ceea ce priveşte creşterea primelor încasate, în speci<strong>al</strong> în<br />

cea <strong>de</strong>-a doua jumătate a anului 2008. Vânzările produselor unitlinked<br />

şi a produselor relaţionate cu pieţele <strong>de</strong> titluri <strong>de</strong> v<strong>al</strong>oare au fost<br />

afectate în mod drastic <strong>de</strong> prăbuşirea pieţelor <strong>de</strong> acţiuni din 2008,<br />

ducând la o scă<strong>de</strong>re a încasărilor din prime la asigurările <strong>de</strong> viaţă cu<br />

5,3% – aprox. 2219 miliar<strong>de</strong> $. Vânzările produselor fără componentă<br />

<strong>de</strong> economisire, ca <strong>de</strong> exemplu anuităţi fixe şi produsele tradiţion<strong>al</strong>e<br />

<strong>de</strong> viaţă au continuat să crească în multe ţări, dar nu au reuşit să<br />

compenseze <strong>de</strong>clinul din sectorul unit-linked. Spre <strong>de</strong>osebire <strong>de</strong> ţările<br />

<strong>de</strong>zvoltate, încasările din prime la asigurările <strong>de</strong> viaţă pe pieţele <strong>de</strong><br />

capit<strong>al</strong> emergente au înregistrat o creştere accelerată <strong>de</strong> 14,6%.<br />
