Agricultural Insurance In Ghana
Agricultural Insurance is concerned with providing insurance to farmers. This presents a number of challenges to insurers as the events are not only uncontrollable as most insurance risks are, but there are significant risks of moral hazard and adverse selection.
It is more difficult if it is agricultural microinsurance which is mainly targeted at small-scale farmers. There are several types of agricultural insurance products including specific animal and crops, as well as multi-risk covers offered through indemnity and index- based mechanisms.
Data Availability for Risk Assessment
One of the problems in connection with agricultural insurance in developing countries is data availability for risk assessment and product design.
In the case of Ghana, the meteorological service has time-series daily rainfall data which has been accessed for twenty weather stations located in all the main agro-ecological regions of the country. The available data ranges between twenty-five years to over forty-five years per station.
The Landscape of Agricultural Microinsurance
The 2007 landscape survey undertaken by the microinsurance centre attempted to map the extent of agricultural insurance worldwide by studying specific areas of microinsurance such as regional distribution, types of microinsurance cover, the risk covers, the schemes and pilot programs, and finally the state of microinsurance regulations. Some of the conclusions were as follows: there are very few agricultural insurance schemes in developing countries with products that are accessible to poor farmers. Agricultural microinsurance is concentrated in Latin America.
GTZ and NIC Collaboration
Towards the end of the 2009 the NIC in its effort to let the industry pay attention to agricultural insurance collaborated with the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) to do a project on agricultural insurance. Most of the work will be done in 2010.
The project, the Innovative Insurance Products for the Adaptation to Climate Change (IIPACC) aims at developing and introducing agricultural Insurance solutions in Ghana. The project started in December 2009 and will run until the end of 2013. It is the wish of the National Insurance Commission (NIC) that during the implementation period of the project, insurance companies in Ghana will be able to develop agricultural insurance products for farmers.
The overall objective of the IIPACC projects is to enable the insurance sector in Ghana to offer innovative and demand- oriented as well as economically sustainable insurance products against financial risks caused by extreme weather events and other forms of climate change.
Foreword
National Insurance CommissionAnnual Report 2009
3
In the year 2009 some countries were just recovering from the effects of the Global financial crisis which affected the economies of the USA and some European countries. Most African countries were not much affected probably because of the strong regulatory regimes.
Industry performance
The growth in the insurance industry was not so spectacular. Gross premium income for non-life business increased from GH¢91.6million in the year 2005 to GH¢220.7million in 2009. The growth rate for 2006 was 25% which fell to 23.9% in 2007. This picked up sharply to 31.6% in 2008 but this dropped to 18% in 2009.
Among the reasons for this sharp fall in the growth rate are lack of innovativeness, under-cutting of premium rates and the growth rate of the entire economy in 2009.
It is the hope of the Commission that insurance companies will charge the appropriate rates for the risks they underwrite despite competition. The Commission will be carrying out an insurance audit as part of the on-site inspection to check this problem of under-cutting in the industry.
The growth in the life sector was however very significant. The relatively higher growth rate can be attributed to the emergence of innovative products on the market, the increasing popularity of microinsurance especially credit life and the utilisation of innovative distribution channels. Bancassurance is one of these new distribution channels.
Premium income for life business increased from GH¢31.2million in 2005 to GH¢122.2million in 2009. The growth rate however dropped from 36.1% to 34% in 2009. But as compared to the non-life sector, life experienced a much higher growth rate.
The growth in the life sector increased the market share of life business to 35.7%. It must be noted that for the first time life business has more market share than motor insurance.
It is the desire of the NIC that the industry will develop innovative products for the general public and thus increase the premium income of the insurance industry as a whole.
There must also be an effort by the industry to revive the marine insurance business which has been declining over the years.

Apart from the main Motor and Life insurance complaints received, the Commission amicably resolved two inter-industry complaints it received.
MOTOR COMPENSATION FUND
The Compensation Fund Committee intensified its operations in 2009. The Committee also continued to pursue as one of its objectives, publicity and public education on motor insurance in particular and related matters.
The Awards Sub-committee of the Compensation Fund Committee held 21 sittings during which it interviewed 146 applicants during the year.
The petitions received by the Committee still followed the trend of hit-and-run cases and uninsured vehicles. Other petitions received stemmed from breach of policy conditions such as change of ownership and driving without a licence, which results in the repudiation of claims by insurers.
All 146 applications received the approval of the Committee and were awarded a total of GH¢ 161,000.00. The main grounds for awards were; change of ownership (32 cases), B1 License (41 cases) and Unlicensed (73 cases).
For the year 2009, the fund realized a total income of GH¢ 602,610 made up of contributions from insurance companies, investment incomes and interest earned on bank deposits.
Expenditures on compensations for accident victims, contribution to the Road Safety Commission, public education and general expenses totaled GH¢ 439,805 whilst total investments in shares and T-bills stood at GH¢ 1,437,101.

SPONSORSHIP OF INSURANCE INDUSTRY PUBLICITY ACTIVITIES
During the year under review, the Commission with the support of the Compensation Fund Committee continued to maintain as one of its objectives, the promotion of public education on insurance in general, and motor insurance in particular.
The Committee was of the view that, a continuous and sustained public education on insurance business and motor insurance in particular will reduce the number of motor insurance claims and invariably claims on the Compensation Fund.
In this regard, the Commission carried out public education programmes in Kumasi, Agona Swedru, Cape Coast, Takoradi, Tamale and Bolgatanga.
The primary focus of these educational programmes were on the role and functions of the NIC, Complaints & Settlement Bureau, Motor Compensation Fund, motor insurance, life insurance and the compulsory fire insurance.
INSURANCE INDUSTRY TRAINING CENTRE (IITC)
The Commission continued to rent out its conference facilities to the public aimed at enhancing its income generating capacity.
HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
Staffing
The total staff strength of the NIC as at December 31, 2009 was 61.
Recruitments
The Commission engaged four new members of staff during the year 2009 as well as four National Service personnel.
Staff Training
Staff of the Commission attended various training programmes both locally and overseas to update their knowledge and professional skills.
Retirement & Resignations
During the year under review, Mr. Jonathan Sasu retired from the services of the Commission upon reaching the retiring age of 60 years.
Also, the appointment of Ms. Josephine Amoah as Commissioner of Insurance was terminated and Mrs. Nyamikeh Kyiamah, the Deputy Commissioner was appointed to act as Commissioner of Insurance.

ECONOMIC REVIEW 2009
Developing economies such as Ghana were not spared the global economic downturn of 2008. The period of turbulence in the financial markets that followed adversely affected output and employment. The lagged effect of this global recession was a slow and uneven recovery in 2009. In the first quarter of 2009 alone, global GDP was estimated to have contracted by 6.3 per cent (annualised). The year as a whole however registered a global GDP decline of 0.6 per cent (2008: 3% growth). Similarly, Ghana registered a modest GDP growth of 4.7% for 2009 as compared to 7.3% in 2008.
The Ghanaian economy faced severe challenges during the first half of the year. The lingering effects of higher crude oil and food prices in 2008 and a surge in government expenditures heightened inflationary pressures. This widened the fiscal and current account deficits, leading to volatility in the foreign exchange market and loss of international reserves. The decline in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) lower and deferred Foreign aid disbursement, and reduced foreign remittances put further stress on the economy. Fortunately however, favourable prices in gold and cocoa shielded the economy from the full impact of the global financial crises. Cocoa reached a 30-year high of $3,510 per tonne in mid December 2009 but ended the year at $2,802, while goldclosedtheyearat$1,080/fineounce.
Inflation
Inflation peaked at 20.7% in April 2009 from 18.13% at the beginning of the year following a 30% increase in petroleum prices. Improved food harvest, however, coupled with tight monetary policy by the Central Bank on the back of economic stability measures instituted by the government yielded positive results, bringing inflation down to 15.97% by the close of the year.
Exchange Rate
Throughout much of the year, the Cedi came under intense pressure against the three major currencies, US Dollar, British Pounds and the Euro. By August 2009, the Cedi had depreciated by 14.8% against the US Dollar, 22.4% against the Pound and 16.2% against the Euro. It however stabilized marginally in the last quarter of the year largely due to external support from the IMF and the World Bank for the budget and the balance of payments, shoring up foreign reserves. By the end of the year, the Cedi had lost 15.0% against the US Dollar, 21.5% against the Pound and 16.0% against the Euro.
Interest RateIn an attempt to contain the high inflationary pressures, the Bank of Ghana increased the prime rate from 17% to 18.5% in February 2009. This was brought down to 18% in November, 2009. Interest rates remained generally high during the year, with low liquidity. The benchmark 91-Day Treasury Bill interest rate ended the year at 23.7% after a peak of 25.89% in the third quarter. On the other hand, the 182-Day Treasury Bill closed the year at 26.46% after peaking at 28.86% in the third quarter.

Outlook for 2010
In 2010, Ghana’s first oil flow in commercial quantities will come on-stream by the last quarter of the year. The country continues to have very high expectations from the income potential of the oil exploitation. The full impact of this will however not be felt immediately as only 120,000 barrels per day is expected to be produced from the beginning. This is expected to double by 2012. The long-term growth outlook for the Ghanaian economy therefore remains positive.

INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE
Generally, there was an increase in gross premium income over the period 2005 – 2009. The industry recorded a gross premium income of GH¢ 122.9m and GH¢ 342.7m in 2005 and 2009 respectively.
However, in terms of growth, the industry has had a rather fluctuating experience. Total growth rate dropped from 33.5% in 2006 to 27.6% in 2007 and then dropped to 23.2% in 2009. It however increased in 2008 (Refer to table 1 below).

Gross Non-Life Premium Income
Gross premium income for non-life business increased from GH¢ 91.6m in year 2005 to GH¢ 220.7m in 2009. Growth rate for 2006 was 25%, but this fell to 23.9% in 2007. This picked up sharply to 31.6% in 2008 and then dropped again to 18% in 2009 (Ref. Table 2).
Among the reasons for this sharp fall in the growth rate are lack of innovativeness, under-cutting of premium rates and the low growth rate of the entire economy in 2009.
It is expected that the implementation of section 183 and 184 of Insurance Act, 2006, which require the compulsory insurance of public buildings under construction (for liability) and afterwards against fire, flood etc. will increase non-life gross premiums

Gross Life Premium Income
In terms of real values, increase in gross premiums for life business has been steady, starting from GH¢ 31.2m in 2005 to GH¢121.9m in 2009. However, the growth rate has dipped since 2007 when it dropped from 58.7% the previous year to 36.1% and lately to 33.7%. Compared to the non-life sector, life business experienced a much higher growth. Whereas life business recorded an average growth of 40.9% over the period, non-life recorded 24.6% (Ref. Table 3 below).
The relatively higher growth rate of the life sector can be attributed to the emergence of innovative products on the market, the increasing popularity of microinsurance and utilisation of innovative distribution channels. Bancassurance is fast becoming a popular distribution channel.
So far five banks have signed up as corporate agents in bancassurance partnerships with insurance companies to distribute mainly life products to their clients.

Life business in Ghana has steadily grown over the years. Usually most direct insurers reinsure just a small portion of their life portfolio. This is as a result of the very nature of the business. Life insurance is long-term and insurers deem it safe to keep a lot for their net account, and build up long-term funds for growth.
Ghana Reinsurance Company Limited is the only reinsurer which underwrites life insurance; therefore the figures in Table 7 represent the company’s performance over the period.
Reinsurance Premium Income
It is generally believed that reinsurers follow the fortunes of their direct insurers. This has been proven by the marginal increase of 6.3% in gross premiums for non-life reinsurance compared to the previous year’s growth of 39%, while that of direct insurers was 18%.
This huge drop may be attributed to the withdrawal of the compulsory cession which Ghana Reinsurance Company Limited had enjoyed since its inception (Section 213 (4) of Act 724). In addition, there is an indirect relationship between the retention levels of direct companies and the extent of reinsurance cover purchased. Reinsurance companies will have to strive harder to make an impact on our market.

Figure 5. Growth in Gross Premium Income - Reinsurance (Life)
Premium Income by Class of Business (2005 - 2009) Motor insurance has always been the highest non-life premium earner. However, its share of the total market premiums has dwindled since year 2006. This line of non-life business earned GH¢ 48.9m in year 2005 and by the end of 2009 its contribution was GH¢ 105.7. It must be noted that for the very first time Life has more market share than motor (Table 8).
In Ghana, motor insurance is the only line that is compulsory and also governed by tariffs. A 30% increase in tariff has been agreed and will take effect from 1st August, 2010. This is expected to increase gross premiums in this sector.
Gross premium amount for accident insurance includes general accident, burglary, engineering and workmen’s compensation among others. Accident insurance was the 3rd highest non-life premium earner in 2009, but the 4th in terms of total market premiums. Gross premium was GH¢ 17.9m in year 2005 and this increased to GH¢ 37.9 m in 2007, while increasing again to GH¢ 48.8m in 2009. With respect to market share, accident contributed 17.7% in year 2008 but this dipped to 14.2% in 2009.
Fire insurance recorded a little over GH¢ 50m in gross premium in year 2009. This was the 2nd highest contributor to total non-life market premium in year 2009. It started with a gross premium income of GH¢ 15.4m in 2005. It is worthy to note that its growth rate increased from 11.2% to 14.6% between 2008 and 2009. It is expected that both

accident and fire insurance premiums will record significant increases when sections 183 and 184 of Insurance Act, 2006 (Act 724) become fully operational.
Marine insurance does not just continue to have the smallest share of the market premiums but its share has also consistently dwindled over the years. In Ghana this line of business comprises mainly cargo. It is important to note that the absolute gross marine premium income fell from GH¢ 13.1 million in year 2008 to GH¢ 9.94 million in 2009. The market share also declined from 4.8% to 2.9%. This worrying trend is mainly due to the fact that the industry has not been able to effectively enforce section 37 of the Insurance Act.
The life insurance sector experienced a tremendous growth over the period and in 2009 had the highest market share of 35.7%. The sector was the only one that did not experience fluctuations within the period. It started with a gross premium of GH¢ 31.2m in 2005 and increased steadily to GH¢ 67.5m in 2007 and GH¢ 121.9 m in 2009.
Life insurance companies have been very innovative and developed a lot of new products for the market. Presently some companies are into microinsurance and some banks have entered into bancassurance partnerships with insurance companies. The advantage of this partnership is that insurance companies have access to existing client base of banks, while the banks also gain the opportunity of increasing their earnings by way of commissions.
In conclusion, non-life gross premium income continued to increase in year 2009 albeit at a decreasing rate in the non-life sector. Insurance companies have developed new products and also found new ways of selling these products. Consequently, it is expected that this positive trend will continue.
The industry still has a lot of potential and can go a long way if certain provisions of the Insurance Act are fully implemented.

THE BROKER MARKET
One new broking firm, namely: Premier Brokers and Consultants Limited was licensed in year 2009.
Performance Of The Broking Companies
The brokerage amount for year 2009 represents the actual contributions of thirty-seven companies which had submitted their audited accounts as at the time this report was being prepared. A ten percent increase in earnings was projected for four companies with the three stars after their names, because they had not submitted their audited accounts to the Commission.

Total gross brokerage increased over the period. In 2005 market brokerage was GH¢ 5.06m and by 2009 had increased to GH¢ 13.9m (refer to table 11). There have been fluctuations in the growth of brokerage. In 2006 earnings increased by 24% but this fell sharply to 10.5% the following year and then rose steeply to 46.1% in 2008. As at the end of 2009 it had reduced to 37.6%.

The top 10 broking companies contributed GH¢ 4.08m and GH¢ 10.3m and a market share of 80.6% and 73.8% in 2005 and 2009 respectively. These had KEK Brokers and Edward Mensah, Wood and Associates occupying the two topmost positions with Tri-Star and Danniads taking the bottom two positions. Crown Brokers earned the 3rd while Safety contributed the 5th highest brokerage. Safety Brokers Limited contributed the 3rd highest brokerage in 2008.
Some broking firms are making an impact on the Ghanaian insurance market. For instance Gras Savoye, a fairly new company managed to contribute the 4th highest brokerage in 2009. It is expected that a lot more companies will adopt vigorous marketing strategies and also help direct insurers develop more innovative products for sale. We look forward to a time where most broking companies will shift from just selling products for insurers and actually undertake risk assessment and draft policy wordings for negotiation.

INTRODUCTION
Whereas the Life sector grew by 33% from 2008 to 2009, the non-life sector grew by just 18% in terms of gross premium income. The low growth rate of the non-life sector can be attributed to the low growth rate of the general economy in 2009, and the effects of the intense competition the sector is currently witnessing. The other growth indicators have been summarized in the tables below.

Percentage (%)
The industry average moved up from 36% in 2008 to 39% in 2009 due mainly to increase in surrender rates. SIC Life, Ghana Life and Provident Life recorded the highest claims ratio. The very low ratios for Capital Express and Express Life is due to the fact that they are new companies.

EXPENSE RATIO
The expense ratio is the percentage of total management expenses to gross premiums. The lower the ratio, the better in terms of management efficiency.
The industry average, just like the non-life has risen sharply from 32% in 2008 to 59% in 2009. Clearly the ratios of Capital Express and Express Life are out of range because they are new companies. Even though IGI Life is not a new company, its revenues are unable to sustain its overheads. Generally, the ratios of Metropolitan Life, Ghana Life, Donewell Life, CDH Life and Unique Life are too high.

COMBINED RATIO
This is calculated as Total Claims + Total Management Expenses divided by Gross Premium. It is the combination of the claims and management ratios.
The industry average has risen from 63% in 2007 to 98% in 2009.
Gross premium received by the two new companies and five existing companies cannot cover their claims and management expenses. Cost control measures have to be instituted by the existing companies in order to remain viable.

RETURN ON EQUITY RATIO
Return on equity is the net profit after tax as a percentage of shareholders’ funds (Equity). It measures the profitability of the companies; the higher the percentage, the more profitable the company.
The high expense and combined ratios have led to the massive deterioration in the return on equity from positive 16% in 2008 to negative 12% in 2009. The shareholders are therefore not getting the needed return on their investments.

Retention ratio is a risk management ratio. This ratio measures the percentage of net premiums to gross premiums. It indicates the portion of the underwritten risks that have
Apart from Ghana Union, almost all the Life companies are not ceding some of their risks to reinsurers. This is typical of life companies who have to invest in long term assets because of the nature of their business.

INVESTMENT INCOME AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL INVESTMENT RATIO
Investment income as a percentage of total investments measures the rate of return on investments. It gives an indication of the quality of the investments made and held by the various companies.
The increase from 11% in 2008 to 16% in 2009 can be attributed to the high interest rates in 2009 mainly in fixed deposits of banks.

INVESTMENT INCOME AS A PERCENTAGE OF PREMIUM RATIO
Investment income as a percentage of premium compares a company’s income from investment to its premium income. This ratio measures the extent of support from investment income. It indicates both the quality and adequacy of the investments. This is very relevant considering the fact that life companies usually make underwriting losses and have to depend on income from investments to make profits.
The relatively high increase from 18% in 2008 to 26% in 2009 is influenced by the 126% recorded by the new company, Express Life Insurance Company Limited.

GROSS PREMIUM TO EQUITY RATIO
The premium equity ratios try to assess the capital adequacy of insurance companies. The ratio measures how much capital is available to support the premiums underwritten by a company. As at 2009, the industry average of 2.9 means that GH¢1 of capital supports as much as Gh¢2.9 of gross premium.
The benchmark or industry best practice is however pegged at 2. This means that a ratio significantly above 2 indicates that the company may be overtrading whiles a ratio which is well below 2 means that the company is not utilizing its capital. The low ratios of Phoenix, Ghana Union Life, IGI Life, Capital Express and Express Life are due more to low business volumes than to high capitalisation.

NET PREMIUM TO EQUITY RATIO
The net premium to equity ratio does the same function as the gross premium to equity ratio. The only difference is that the net premium to equity ratio measures the relation of the net premium and not the gross premium of a company to its capital. The industry average rose from 1.9 in 2008 to 2.8 in 2009.
The high ratios of Metropolitan Life and Provident Life are due to capital inadequacy.

UNDERWRITING PROFIT AS A PERCENTAGE OF GROSS PREMIUMS RATIO
This ratio measures underwriting profits as a percentage of gross premiums. It generally tries to ascertain the portion of the gross premiums that is available to contribute towards profits. It is calculated by dividing the underwriting profit by the gross premiums. Underwriting profits for this purpose is defined as net earned premium minus
Even though the life companies have been making underwriting losses since 2007, the extent of the losses have certainly increased mainly due to the very high expense and combined ratios. Only two companies, Enterprise Life and Glico Life recordered underwriting profit in 2009.

INVESTMENT TO TOTAL ASSETS RATIO
Investment to total asset ratio measures the portion of a company’s asset that are in real investments and is therefore readily available to be converted into cash to settle liabilities. In a way it gives an indication of the quality of the company’s assets.
Generally, the life companies have better ratios than the non-life mainly because the life companies do not have the problem of outstanding debtors which deprive them of investible funds.
The industry average dipped drastically from 72% in both 2007 and 2008 to 62% in 2009.

RETURN ON ASSETS RATIO
This ratio measures the return that a company makes on the assets it employs in its operations. It is calculated as the net profit before tax divided by total assets.
As expected, the declining profitability of the life sector shows in the steady downward trend in this ratio from 7% in 2007 to 3% in 2009. Six out of 17 companies made net loss before tax in 2009 whilst one company made neither profit nor loss.

CLAIMS RATIO
The claims ratio, which is the percentage of claims incurred to gross premiums, measures underwriting efficiency. The lower the ratio, the better the underwriting efficiency.
The industry average has gradually but steadily increased from 16% in 2007 to 18% in 2009. Ghana Union, NSIA, Donewell and GLICO General recorded the most significant increases in their claims ratios. On the other hand, Activa and Equity recorded dramatic reductions whiles Intercontinental Wapic shows almost nothing.

INVESTMENT INCOME AS A PERCENTAGE OF GROS S PREMIUMS
Investment income as a percentage of premiums tries to compare a company’s income from investment to its premium income. This ratio measures the extent of support from investment income. It indicates both the quality and adequacy of the investments. This is very relevant considering the fact that, most companies make underwriting losses and have to depend on income from investments to make profit.
Ghana Union, NSIA, GLICO General and Ghana Re recorded very impressive ratios. Donewell, Activa and International Energy recorded the lowest ratios.

OUTSTANDING PREMIUMS AS A PERCENTAGE OF GROSS PREMIUMS
Outstanding premiums as a percentage of gross premiums compares outstanding premiums as at the end of the year to the total premiums written during the year. This efficiency ratio tries to assess how well management makes use of the company’s assets. Specifically, the objective is to find out how long it takes management to collect premium debts and put such funds into use.
The issue of outstanding premiums is adversely affecting the profitability and solvency of insurance companies. This makes the management of credit risk one of the major issues for Ghanaian insurance companies. Seven non-life companies and two reinsurers recorded ratios in excess of 50%. This means that more than half of the gross premiums written during the year was outstanding as at the end of the year.

National Insurance CommissionAnnual Report 2009

The economies of developing countries which were affected by the global crisis have shown signs of recovery. The insurance industry has positioned itself by forming the Energy pool so that it can underwrite some of the oil and gas business.
As we enter 2010 the National Insurance Commission must take measures to check the undercutting of rates practiced by some insurance companies. This will ensure that adequate premiums are charged for the risks which are underwritten by the industry.
Insurance companies should also be encouraged to underwrite new products on microinsurance and agricultural insurance in order to increase the insurance penetration in the economy.
