2.28 Equalization reserves In accordance with the The Insurance and Private Pension Regulation and Supervision Agency’s Regulation on Technical Provisions, which effective on November 10, 2021, in order to balance the fluctuations in the compensation rates that may occur in the following accounting periods and to cover the catastrophic risks, companies are required to allocate a balancing provision for earthquake guarantees issued in all branches, including additional guarantees issued in the credit and surety branches. In accordance with the Communiqué on Technical Reserves put into effect starting from January 1, 2008, the companies should provide equalization reserve in credit insurance and earthquake branches to equalize the fluctuations in future possible claims and for catastrophic risks. Equalization reserve, started to be provided in 2008, is calculated as 12% of net premiums written in credit insurance and earthquake branches. In the calculation of net premiums, fees paid for non-proportional reinsurance agreements are considered as premiums ceded to the reinsurance firms. The companies should provide equalization reserve up to reaching 150% of the highest premium amount written in a year within the last five years. In case where claims incurred, the amounts below exemption limits as stated in the contracts and the share of the reinsurance firms cannot be deducted from equalization reserves. Claims payments are deducted from first year’s equalization reserves by first in first out method. With the Communiqué released on July 28, 2010 and numbered 27655 “Communiqué on Amendments to Communiqué on Technical Reserves for Insurance, Reinsurance and Pension Companies and the Related Assets That Should Be Invested Against Those Technical Reserves”, ceded premiums of earthquake and credit for non-proportional reinsurance contracts covered multiple branches should be calculated according to percentage of premiums of those branches within the total premiums unless the Company is determined any other methods. Share of earthquake and credit premium of written premiums for non-proportional reinsurance contracts is based on share of earthquake and credit premiums of proportional reinsurance contracts. In accordance with the Communiqué on Technical Reserves, the Company considers 11% of net death premium (including damage payments) as earthquake premium and 12% of that amount is calculated as equalization provision since the Company not having sufficient data for calculation. After five financial years, in case that provision amount is less than previous year amount depending on written premiums, the difference is recognized in other profit reserves under equity. This amount recorded in equity can either be kept under reserves or can also be used in capital increase or paying claims. Equalization reserves are presented under “other technical reserves” within long term liabilities in the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements. As of the reporting date, the Company has recognized equalization reserves amounting to TL 405.400.733 (December 31, 2021: TL 245.855.051).
