Wealth Drives Insurance Penetration
7
Challenges of Access to Insurance Services
Relationship between wealth and insurance penetration
MRoA/MMRC
Munich Re Group
 There is a positive relationship between wealth (measured as gross national
income per capita in purchasing power parities) and a country’s insurance
penetration
 Higher wealth tends to result in a rising penetration in life as well as in non-life
insurance (i.e. the insurance market is growing faster than the overall economy)
 In general, the increase is stronger in emerging markets than in industrialized
countries
 Wealth alone does not explain the state of a country’s life insurance market.
Other causes are differences in life insurance market environments across
countries (e.g. degree of old-age pension systems being based on social
security).
 Based on the overall global trend, growth potential in life business in general
exists in emerging markets (catching up) as well as in industrialized countries
(reform of social security systems, ageing society)

Access to Insurance for Low Income Groups
20
Challenges of Access to Insurance Services in Africa
Need for Insurance Among Low Income Groups
MRoA/MMRC
Munich Re Group

Asset protection and life insurance low in priority

Top priorities: food, shelter, clothing, medicine, provision for funerals,
education

Perception of risk centres on loss of a job, loss of an income provider,
disease or death

Least important perception of risk concerns things that can be replaced
e.g. assets

Asset ownership in this sector is low or assets low in value

Even when available, money is fungible leading to skipped premiums
21
Challenges of Access to Insurance Services in Africa
Supply of Insurance to Low Income Groups
MRoA/MMRC
Munich Re Group

This market generally not targeted – insurance is sold not bought and
even when bought, it’s a grudge purchase

Existing insurance products designed for commercial and higher
income groups

Experience of the product may have been poor (repudiated claims,
complexity, policy language or just bad service)

High friction costs in the value chain: premium collection, claims
handling, large number of policyholders against low premium volumes

Lack of property rights and legal ownership of assets renders them
“dead capital” that cannot be traded and hence not insured

Intermediation replaced by “tick-the-box” intermediation with no
explanation of the product or terms and conditions
22
Challenges of Access to Insurance Services in Africa
Competition to Insurance Solutions - Coping

Self-insurance

Extended family support especially in rural areas

Accrual of social capital as an investment

Borrowing from relatives, employers and even money lenders

Looking for alternative “livelihood” opportunities

Distress selling of assets like livestock and other property

Distress migration - to urban areas or even other countries

Challenges of Access to Insurance Services in Africa
Conclusion
MRoA/MMRC
Munich Re Group

Wealth drives insurance penetration and eases access

Low income or poor communities have evolved COPING
mechanisms to address their exposure to risk

Where there is a FELT NEED, financial services will be consumed
even by low income groups

Replaceable assets rank lowly in priority regarding perception of
risk, made worse by their untradeable status

In the case of South Africa, banking and life insurance have had
better success than non-life insurance

A sustained and concerted effort is called for to achieve penetration
in low income groups even where there is a FELT NEED.

higher saving rates and higher demand for risk protection (Maslow‘s hierarchy
of needs) + other favourite framework conditions.
