Executive Summary

Although real GDP growth surprised on the upside in Q408, with a 4.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) expansion beating a consensus forecast of a 3.5-3.8% increase and bringing full-year growth for 2008 to 4.6%, we see no reason to alter our 2.8% growth forecast for 2009. The slowdown is expected to be led by declines in private consumption and investment, with government spending forecast to accelerate and the contribution of net exports to be negligible.

Economic growth in the Philippines surprised on the upside in Q408, beating consensus expectations of a 3.5-3.8% y-o-y expansion to register real growth of 4.5%, bringing full-year growth for 2008 to 4.6%.

However, while this has underlined the resilience of the Philippine economy in the face of the current hostile environment, we remain sceptical concerning its ability to escape the unfolding global recession unscathed. As such, we retain our below consensus 2.8% growth forecast for 2009.

Private consumption remained buoyant in Q408, expanding by 4.5% y-o-y having posted growth of 4.1% and 4.4%, respectively, in the second and third quarters of the year. This added some 3.4pp to headline growth, and was driven in large part by the ongoing strength of remittances from Filipinos working overseas, which grew by 3.3% y-o-y and 10.5%, respectively, in October and November. However, these figures dragged year-to-date growth down to 15.0% y-o-y having reached a peak of 18.2% in July, and with global economic activity forecast to continue slowing over the coming quarters, remittances are set to follow suit.

Indeed, given that US$7.19bn of a total of US$15.02bn sent back to the Philippines by overseas workers came from the US, and that the world's biggest economy is forecast by BMI to contract by 2.3% in 2009, the likelihood of persistent remittance strength this year remains slim. This in turn bodes ill for the prospects of private consumption being able to support headline growth in 2009, as it has done in previous years and, as such, we are expecting private consumption – which accounts for around 77% of total GDP – to add just 0.8pp to full-year GDP growth this year as it registers just 1.0% growth in real terms. To put this in context, private consumption has grown on average by 5.3% over the past five years and has contributed on average 4.2pp to overall growth over the same timeframe.

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. We also look at various local firms that are active in the region; some of these companies rank, in terms of the premiums that they write, among the largest in the world.

In 2008, total premiums in the Philippines rose by 25% to PHP123,607mn. Non-life premiums rose by 7% to PHP42,889mn, while life premiums rose by 38% to an estimated PHP80,719mn.

Between now and the end of the forecast period, we expect that annual non-life premiums will grow by PHP33,909mn, while annual life premiums should grow by PHP192,999mn. Growth in non-life premiums should be driven by the general growth of nominal GDP plus a rise in non-life penetration from the current level of 0.56% to 0.75%. Growth in life premiums should be driven by the change in the overall population and a rise in life density from US$21.44 to US$70.00 per capita.

BMI's Insurance Business Environment Rating is 53.5.
