FOREWORD This publication, the ninth in a series which is updated annually, contains time series of insurance statistics. It was compiled as part of the work by the OECD Insurance Committee and, more particularly, its Task Force on Insurance Statistics. It contains data collected from official bodies in OECD Member countries as well as the Slovak Republic which has an observer status at the OECD Insurance Committee, on the number of insurance companies and employees, insurance premiums and investments by insurance companies. Meanwhile, the scope of data collection has been expanded to include gross claims payments, gross operating expenses and commissions. The data relate to the period 1991-1998 and are broken down under numerous sub-headings. This compilation has been prepared by the Directorate for Financial, Fiscal and Enterprise Affairs. However, it was made possible only by the close co-operation between the OECD and the various national bodies which collect data on insurance, and the work of the Task Force on Insurance Statistics. This work is published under the responsibility of the Secretary General of the OECD. AVANT PROPOS Cette publication, la neuvième d’une série qui est mise à jour annuellement, contient des données chronologiques sur les statistiques d’assurance. Elle s’inscrit dans le cadre des travaux du Comité des assurances de l’OCDE, et plus particulièrement de son Groupe de réflexion sur les statistiques d’assurance. Elle contient des données collectées auprès des organismes officiels des pays Membres de l’OCDE ainsi que de la République slovaque qui a le statut d'observateur auprès du Comité des assurances de l'OCDE, sur le nombre de compagnies d’assurance et d’employés, les primes d’assurance et les investissements des compagnies d’assurance. Entre-temps, le champ de la collecte de données a été étendu et couvre les paiements bruts de sinistres, les dépenses brutes d’exploitation et les commissions. Ces données portent sur la période 1991-1998 et sont détaillées en nombreuses sous-rubriques. Cette publication a été préparée par la Direction des affaires financières, fiscales et des entreprises. Cependant elle n’a pu être réalisée que grâce à une étroite coopération entre l’OCDE et les diverses administrations nationales chargées de la collecte des données statistiques en matière d’assurance, ainsi que grâce aux travaux du Groupe de réflexion sur les statistiques d’assurance. Elle est publiée sous la responsabilité du Secrétaire Général de l’OCDE. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................................. 9 PART I: COMPARATIVE TABLES .................................................................................... 17 Graphs .................................................................................................................................. 18 I.

Since then, the Working Group, which has been transformed in 1999 into the Task Force, has collected and analysed data on various insurance statistics, as well as discussed relevant methodologies. As the qualitative and quantitative content of the statistical database has improved considerably over time, the Committee decided in November 1992 to issue a publication that would make the considerable body of information already collected available to the public at large. This publication is the ninth in a series which is updated annually. This publication has the following three characteristics; 1. It covers major official insurance data from 1991 to 1998, obtained from all the governments of OECD countries as well as the Slovak Republic which has an observer status at the OECD Insurance Committee. (Exceptionally, data for the Czech Republic, Korea, Mexico and Poland are available respectively since 1993, 1994, 1992 and 1993 only). The publication contains not only general information on insurance activities (number of companies, number of employees, gross premiums, net premiums etc.) but also data related to major trends of the international insurance industry such as the market share by foreign companies in each country, business written abroad, premiums in terms of risk destination (foreign or domestic risks), foreign and domestic investments. Meanwhile, the scope of data collection has been expanded to include gross claims payments, gross operating expenses and commissions. 2. In order to contribute to a better understanding of the insurance market, important insurance activity indicators (OECD market share, penetration, density, premiums per employee...) are included in the comparative tables. Some of these indicators are also shown in the graphs. With these indicators, the characteristics of insurance market can be more clearly perceived, in particular, in relation to national economic conditions. 3. In the comparative tables, a significant effort has been made to achieve comparability among OECD countries. Definitions, classifications, calculation methods, and units have been standardised as far as possible. The publication has been prepared by the Directorate for Financial, Fiscal and Enterprises Affairs and is issued under the responsibility of the Secretary General of the Organisation. However, the collaboration with national administrations was essential to its achievement. 9
