Executive Summary

We have revised down our 2009 growth forecast for Malaysia from 3.1% to 1.4% after the latest industrial production data revealed that factory output contracted at its fastest pace in seven years during November 2008. Output fell 7.7% year-on-year (y-o-y) to compound October's 3.1% decline and September's 1.7% fall, as weakening global demand and tumbling commodity prices saw all components of the index shrink for a second month in a row. Mining output (which accounts for 23.4% of the index) contracted by 2.8% y-o-y, while electricity output (which holds a 6.0% weighting) fell by 2.8%. Most significantly, manufacturing output declined by a whopping 9.4%.

Manufacturing makes up more than 70% of the overall industrial production index. More importantly, the sector contributes almost 30% to GDP, and employs over 1mn people (1,065,278 as of October 2008), equal to approximately 10% of the labour force. Manufactured goods also account for over 50% of Malaysia's total exports. Thus, the sector's importance to the overall economy is evident. However, in the current global economic climate, where consumers are continuing to retrench, demand for manufactured products is set to continue waning.

With the global economy unlikely to pick up until 2010, we have also revised down our 2010 growth forecast from 4.6% to 3.2%. While we expect global growth to begin picking up in the first half of 2010, we are nonetheless anticipating economic activity to remain sluggish throughout much of the year. Thus, while we acknowledge the positive effects of 2009 setting a low base, BMI consequently expects the Malaysian economy to fall short of its 2008 performance in 2010.

The global financial crisis is likely to affect the various segments of the global insurance industry in different ways. In many countries – especially in Europe – the coming recession points to softness in the non-life segment. In many cases, the numbers of policies may fall; there should be downwards pressure on premiums. By contrast, the main problem for the life segment – in almost all countries – is the extreme volatility of financial markets. Over the longer term though, the fortunes of life insurance will recover – thanks to the secular growth of organised savings in most countries.

China, where the larger insurance companies continue to achieve double digit growth in premium income, is a good example of this. Some particular niches should also do well in the current environment, such as legal liability insurance.

In the Asia Pacific, we profile 23 companies. These are AEGON, AIG, Allianz, Aviva, AXA, Cardif, Fortis, Generali, Groupama, HDI-Gerling, HSBC Insurance, ING Group, Liberty Mutual, Manulife, MetLife, Prudential Financial, Prudential plc, QBE, RSA, Sun Life Financial, The Hartford, Principal Financial Group and Zurich Financial Services.

Over the course of 2008, actual/estimated total premiums in Malaysia rose by 10% to MYR36,354mn. Non-life premiums rose by 5% to MYR12,623mn, while life premiums rose by 14% to MYR23,732mn.

Between now and the end of the forecast period, we expect that annual non-life premiums will grow by MYR6,439mn, while annual life premiums should grow by MYR12,568mn. Growth in non-life premiums should be driven by the general growth of nominal GDP plus a rise in nonlife penetration from the current level of 1.77% to 2%.

Growth in life premiums should be driven by the change in the overall population and a rise in life density from US$240.34 to US 420,00 per capita. BMI's Insurance Business Environment Rating is 64.1.
