Millî Reasürans T.A.Ş., representing
Turkish delegation in the field of insurance in the "Regional
Cooperation for Development (RCD)" Organization as
per the agreement signed among Turkey, Iran and Pakistan
in 1964, has played a very active role in forming the
RCD Fire, Marine, Accident and Engineering reinsurance
pools as well as the RCD Insurance Center.
As of the 1st January 1975 these pools were integrated
under one pool and the management of the same was entrusted
to the Millî Re. The name "Regional Cooperation for
Development (RCD)" was changed to "Economical
Cooperation Organization (ECO)" in the meeting of
the Organization dated 6th-7th July 1985, so the name
of the Pool to ECO Reinsurance Pool.
Later, as per the decision taken by the IIIrd Summit which
gathered the presidents of three countries in Islamabad
on 11th-15th March 1995, the ECO Pool stopped underwriting
new business as at 31st December, 1995 as "insurance"
section of the Organization was shifted to Pakistan, "transportation"
to Iran and "banking" to Turkey.
The Pool's premium income at the end of the first year
of activities, i.e. 1975 being US Dollars 2.456.331,
was of US Dollars 13.746.603 when the pool stopped underwriting
new business as at 31st December, 1995 and after a thirteen
years' run off it has reached US Dollars 20.099.585.
