Monitoring the storm and the problems

Investment-insurance products, more than half of the growth

"The individual insurance companies with high returns as bait to attract investment-type insurance policy holders insurance, and it's no different from the Fund." Li Kemu Vice-Chairman of China Insurance Regulatory Commission on July 16 warned the insurance companies, it is necessary to prevent the investment of insurance Business brought about by rapid growth potential risks.

Statistics show that in January this year to June, investment products accounted for life insurance premium revenue 79% over the previous year to increase by 9 percentage points. Many investment-type insurance products, insurance premium income growth rate in more than 50%, and even some of the company's growth as high as 100%.

CIRC Chairman Wu Dingfu pointed out that the rapid development of business investment, to the insurance industry has brought a lot of adverse effects. First, the weakening of the insurance function is not conducive to the insurance industry to enhance economic and social development services. The second is easy to cause big ups and downs in business, so that the insurance assets and liabilities of the match more difficult, is not conducive to the sustainable development of the industry. Third, some of the charges and will return as the primary means of competition, the potential cost difference Licha Sun and the risk of loss. Fourth, misleading sales of more prominent issues, could trigger large-scale surrender risk.

"Some of the premium income is still Baojian Ju Quiz and determine the local market, the concept and the idea must be abandoned." Wu Dingfu said, "the China Insurance Regulatory Commission will take measures, such as in the embedded value of life insurance, security standards Internal management of the specific charges, as well as the relevant provisions of the constraints on insurance companies to make products to protect fully the development. "

Grasp is the top priority of payment crisis

2007 silver-scale security operations grew 50% over the same period last year, some of the capital has simply failed to keep up with the life insurance companies, faced with the added capital. Yuan Li, Assistant President of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission said that the solvency adequacy ratio is a reflection of insurance companies de facto capital adequacy of financial supervision and management indicators, similar to the commercial bank's capital adequacy ratio.

Yuan Li pointed out that the lack of solvency does not mean that insurance companies are insolvent, does not mean that insurance companies may go bankrupt. Solvency is a dynamic process of change, some insurance companies may be in the development process in a timely manner not to add capital, insurance regulatory authorities to take timely control measures, requiring the company to rapidly reform.

China Insurance Regulatory Commission requirements for adequate Ⅰ companies, that is sufficient solvency rate of 100% -150% of the insurance companies, it is necessary to strengthen the solvency situation of the trend forecast, when necessary may be required to submit implementation of prevention and lack of solvency Plan; for the rapid development of the stage appeared less solvent companies, it is necessary to urge the company to limit the size of the business, reinsurance strengthen and optimize the structure of the business, and other measures to improve the solvency, as well as through the listing, Kuogu capital, and so on Subordinated Debt Issue Way to raise capital to ease the pressure on under-solvency; improving solvency is not actively taking inadequate measures, resulting in lack of long-term solvency of the company, to take operational restrictions, restrictions on branch-based grant, restrict dividends to shareholders, restrictions on executives pay To restrict the use of financial channels, adjust the head and managers, etc., ordered to take effective measures to improve the solvency; solvency for the serious impact of even less than the normal operation of the company, it is necessary to step up monitoring efforts, particularly at the branches cash on Monitoring the flow, as well as the rate of implementation of the authenticity of the data and the supervision and inspection; on the individual's cash flow difficulties, it is necessary to formulate plans for the disposal of the risks, to take timely measures to deal with.

Again in the land of the Group Insurance companies belong, because lack of solvency is limited size of the business.

A reduction of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission urged the rumors shares

Recession in the first half of the domestic capital market, insurance industry still has high-speed growth was primarily driven by insurance financial products. This insurance institutions to invest the ability to put high demands, through the capital markets in order to obtain high returns, a great risk, "the more money the more trouble."

Stock market risk arising from the increasing importance of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, China Insurance Regulatory Commission official notice available on the website, said the China Insurance Regulatory Commission in August to November period of the insurance companies and insurance asset management company's insurance asset management on-site inspection And require insurance agencies in the Aug. 25 to report foreign exchange assets and the assets of the investment risk of self-examination report in the Aug. 31 report insurance asset management self-examination of the report.

The harsh attitude of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, but also lead to market rumors, one of which is "the China Insurance Regulatory Commission urged the agency to reduce insurance A shares." China Insurance Regulatory Commission have denied: as a regulator, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission only for insurance companies to invest beyond the scope of investment and the investment ceiling regulation will not replace the insurance companies to make investment strategy. Insurance business as an independent market entities, will be based on assets and liabilities match the requirements of the decision-making autonomy, independence and self-investment risk, "the China Insurance Regulatory Commission has no authority to interfere and can not make any suggestion, let alone urged to reduce its A shares. "

Silver non-security business can not brake

Silver blow-led security operations throughout the life insurance premiums as a result of hyper growth, the Bank of security operations hidden behind the sharp increase in risk. There are insurance companies who pointed out that insurance companies paid to the agent bank fees have been rising about 2.5 percent to 3-5 percent, the Bank has increased the security agency business risks and costs of the new poor risk of loss, insurance companies in the Bank of security Almost no profits to speak of channels.

A life insurance company said that insurance business for a long time silver has been driven mainly by growth in insurance companies, banks, but also increase the internal driving force, in 2007 the fund has a large number of high sales revenue in the middle of this year to require insurance To make up the gap, many banks have stepped up efforts to encourage and evaluation.

Shanghai Bao Jianju data show that in the first half of Shanghai's insurance market on the dividend risk, investment risk even surrender surrender accounted for 50% and 15%. In Guangdong, surrender the amount of risk even for the same period last year increased by 182 percent. Ping An of China and surrender in the first half of the overall spending 6.84 billion, more than 15.6 percent increase over the same period last year, analysts believe the Bank is one of the reasons for Paul's surrender channels has increased.

In view of this, regulatory requirements in the rest of this year, 4 months, the Bank of security operations to the fast growth rate down. However, it is very difficult to stop.

"We can not have the networks do, may do well to take the risk of loss of channels, banks have begun to increase its assessment of various insurance companies, and its poor performance and may be eliminated, and get A network is difficult. "A life insurance company said.

It should be noted that a comparison is that in the first half of the company-owned life insurance premium income 458,221,000,000 yuan, up 69.25 percent, and foreign life insurance companies are slower, the premium income of 23,672,000,000 yuan, up by only 30%. This is different from last year's performance. In 2007, foreign life insurance premium income grew by 65% over the same period in the life insurance company's capital increase of just 20%.

In the first half of foreign life insurance companies in silver there is no lack of negative growth in the insurance business, such as the International Assurance Company Growth -40% growth in the United De -8.93%, China Merchants Bank and Insurance CIGNA's growth rate less than 10%. A foreign life insurance company executives said that capital markets will face a grim outlook for the signal already released, the wholesale insurance business to pay the Bank without a good return on investment as a support, the cost of removal is almost no profit after profits can be said to be Growing deficit, it is entirely contrary to the interests of investors, why should we do?
