Reinsurance risk is monitored regularly according to criteria described in the “Limit over Acceptable Reinsurance Risk and Maximum Custody Share Limit” policy and results are analysed by the Risk Committee and reported to the Board of Directors. Action plan is determined by the Board of Directors in the case of having exposure higher than acceptable level of risk and probability Objective of managing risks arising from insurance contracts and policies used to minimize such risk Insurance risk is defined as coverage for exposures that exhibit a possibility of financial loss due to applying inappropriate and insufficient insurance techniques. Main reasons of insurance risk exposure result from the risk selection and inaccurate calculation of insurance coverage, policy terms and fee or inaccurate calculation of coverage portion kept within the Group and coverage portion transfers to policyholders and transfer conditions. Instruments that are related to risk transfer, such as; insurance risk selection, risk quality follow-up by providing accurate and complete information, effective monitoring of level of claims by using risk portfolio claim frequency, treaties, facultative reinsurance contracts and coinsurance agreements, and risk management instruments, such as; risk limitations, are used in achieving the related objective. Risk tolerance is determined by Board of Directors by considering the Groups long-term strategies, equity resources, potential returns and economical expectations, and it is presented by risk limitations. Authorization limitations during policy issuing include authorizations for risk acceptances granted based on geographical regions in relation to unacceptable special risks or pre-approved acceptable special risks, insurance coverage to agencies, district offices, technical offices, assistant general managers and top management in the policy issuance period and authorizations for claim payment granted to district offices, claim management administration, automobile claims administration and Claim Committee established by the managing director and assistant managing director in the claim payment period. Whatsoever, risk acceptance is based on technical income expectations under the precautionary principle. In determining insurance coverage, policy terms and fee, these expectations are based accordingly. It is essential that all the authorized personnel in charge of executing policy issuance transactions, which is the initial phase of insurance process, should ensure to gather or provide all the accurate and complete information to issue policies in order to obtain evidence on the acceptable risks that the Group can tolerate from the related insurance transactions. On the other hand, decision to be made on risk acceptance will be possible by transferring the coverage to the reinsurers and/or coinsurers and considering the terms of the insurance policy. In order to avoid destructive losses over Group’s financial structure, company transfers the exceeding portion of risks assumed over the Group’s risk tolerance and equity resources through treaties, facultative reinsurance contracts and coinsurance agreements to reinsurance and coinsurance companies. Insurance coverage and policy terms of reinsurance are determined by assessing the nature of each insurance branch Sensitivity to insurance risk Insurance risks do not generally have significant unrecoverable losses in the course of ordinary transactions, except for risks associated with earthquake and other catastrophic risks. Therefore, there is a high sensitivity to earthquake and catastrophic risks. The case of potential claims’ arising from earthquake and other catastrophic risks exceeding the maximum limit of the excess of loss agreements, such risks are treated as the primary insurance risks and are managed based on the precautionary principle. Maximum limit of excess of loss agreements is determined based on the worst case scenario on the possibility of an earthquake in terms of its severity and any potential losses incurred in accordance with the generally accepted international earthquake models.
