Beginning in 2004, in the interest rate increase cycle, the life of the deposit rate of return from 2005's 3.9 percent rise in the mid-2008 to 5.07 percent, and bond net investment yield from 4.15 percent in 2005 rose to the mid-2008 The 4.44 percent. Relative term bonds, deposits yield even more pronounced improvement was mainly due to rate increases not only the impact of incremental deposits as well as the impact of the stock (because the agreement is a floating rate deposits in general), and the interest rate on the bonds only by the impact Without affecting the volume of the stock (if the stock does not consider the change in fair value of bonds).
In the rate cut cycle, we believe that to the contrary. Assumptions in the first half of next year benchmark interest rate to 2%, we believe that the decline in deposits yield about 120bp, bond yields fell about 20bp, according to deposits and bonds in the proportion of assets that can be drawn in the first half of next year if the benchmark interest rate to 2 %, Is expected to decline in the rate of return on investment of about 50bp.
Cut interest rates on the bonds in the short term negative impact on smaller, but the low interest rate environment has been a long time, with the continued allocation of additional funds to bonds, as well as in the stock of debt after the expiry of the re-investment, bond yields will continue to be Down. We have observed in the last round of rate cut cycle, bond yields continued to be pulled down. In 2002, when 10-year bond yields have been as low as 2.72 percent, at the time due to the bear market in stocks has not been able to make a positive contribution to investment income, the insurance industry's rate of return on investment in 2003 when the minimum went to 2.68 percent.
According to the current market situation to determine next year's benchmark interest rate is likely to cut down on a cycle that is low in the vicinity of 2% level, if no obvious improvement in the macroeconomic, do not rule out the benchmark interest rate may have hit a new low. Assuming this happens in a low interest rate cycle to stay a long time, at the same time the stock market failed to clear a positive contribution, then the insurance industry's rate of return on investment is also likely to touch on the current round of economic adjustment in the 3% level. As the cost of liability is unlikely to be lower than 2.5 percent, in such circumstances, the insurance industry's rate will be reduced to a very low level. If you take into account the high interest rate policy, safety and liability Taibao costs will be higher, spreads are likely to be at a loss.
Although the stock market this year, the depth of the adjustment, but a profit report, the rights and interests of investment on the overall return on investment is a positive contribution (in addition to safety). China Life to our data, for example, the first 3 quarters of the total investment income to total 28.6 billion, with a total investment of the proceeds includes investment income, the change in fair value and impairment of assets, which we projected fixed-income asset class of investment income A total of 20.2 billion, the rights and interests of investment also contributed 8.4 billion, mainly in the first half of the reduction in the stock and fund dividends.
We visited the three companies the rights and interests of the average cost of investment, according to 2008 data to the medium-term estimates, the life, safety and Taibao the average cost is 2400, 3200 and 3280 point out that if CITIC Securities investment Country life is the average cost of 2,700 points. In the third quarter were due to the extraction of some impairment, the average cost will decline slightly. Although we believe that the performance of the stock market next year are likely to rise, but in the Shanghai Composite Index rebounded from the current location of the 60% -90% more than the cost can only exceed the cost can be released through the floating surplus to make a positive contribution to the profit report.
As the fixed-income investment category and the rights and interests of the profit contribution will likely decline, due to the addition early next year dividend funds will be little effective tax rate may increase because the fund is tax-free dividend. Generally speaking, therefore, the insurance company next year will decline in net profit (peace).
The stock market decline in the net assets of the insurance industry affected the course of the end of the basic interest rate spreads down to the erosion process has just begun, to maintain synchronization of large sectors of the city's rating.

China's insurance industry legend: MA Mingzhe family history of hair
In early 1985, Shekou Industrial Zone Personnel were working to deploy long-Yi Zuzu MA Mingzhe, to attend a seminar on the important participants are the United Nations Department of Labor study. At the same meeting, a Labor Department Deputy Director of Shekou Industrial Zone for the implementation of social security funds management put forward his own views, "according to international practice, the money from an independent entity to manage." The wear glasses and gray hair expert detail the benefits of such management. In 1979, Shekou Industrial Zone at the beginning of the establishment, they set about establishing a social security mechanism to require start-up factories in Shekou "capitalists" for each of the "working class" and "female farmer workers" to pay old-age pension, medical care, employer liability insurance, to pay for the proportion of 20% of the cost of labor at the expense of the Shekou Industrial Zone Personnel working on behalf of charge.
Shekou is the prevailing wind of reform to break through. Deputy Director-General of the United Nations labor, and other experts will soon be adopted, China Merchants social insurance signboards hang up quickly. It took over the full Shekou Industrial Zone Personnel work-related functions of social security, "read a pension from the social security unified operation of the company." This distance in 2067, the Chinese city of old-age retirement protection system in Shanghai has taken the first step.
Peace "movement"
Responsible for this specific plan of the MA Mingzhe, a year later by the social security was promoted to assistant manager, deputy general manager, presided over a comprehensive social security company. China's insurance industry, a legend, MA Mingzhe, board of the times to give him a stage. In 1986, the Erlizhinian MA Mingzhe often worry. "Social Security has set up, brought together a large number of industrial areas managed fund, will be used to pay workers a pension, if the event of serious inflation, the money in the bank will certainly be devalued." A few months ago , Social Security has to invest part of the money to plant a tie, a silk factory, several stores and a corporate information technology (2000, in the domestic ERP software market, which accounted for half of the companies). "However, industrial investment, is by no means secure, first, the low rate of return, and the other is the realization of capital poor."
"We can see that Hong Kong's insurance business has done a good job, that in the same industrial park can try."'s Decision to use social security funds on hand, the pot up support kitchen, the original social security in the employer's liability insurance risk into a work-related injuries, This approach began to maintain insurance for commercial insurance. "At that time Shekou atmosphere is what can be said that we can do, you can try." M not hack, the People's Insurance Company of China (hereinafter referred to as "human security") subsidiary, general manager of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, but also to monitor the insurance unit -- - People's Bank of China branches in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone vice president personally went to Shekou. MA Mingzhe responsible for the whole reception from the People's Insurance general manager of the mouth that: "The injury insurance belong to the scope of commercial insurance, social security has no right to operate the company. Based on the" temporary insurance regulations ", is to formally raised the issue with you . "
And more than a decade after the Insurance Regulatory Commission to set up different, at the time of the financial industry-wide regulatory responsibilities in the People's Bank of China. On behalf of the People's Bank of China is monitoring unit, the main operating insurance on behalf of the People's Insurance Company, the general manager of the friendly attitude of the MA Mingzhe to leave. People's Insurance Company of China's Shekou branch of the objection to the book and then. Shekou social insurance at the time of a few soldiers, the Office of the Secretary of Xiu-Li Yang, Huang Jianping, general manager of Business Administration with leaders together to discuss the objection, or that still means: industrial injury insurance is commercial insurance, social insurance can not do insurance business, it is necessary to Have to do to apply for new licenses. The attitude of the People's Insurance, Social Security's Shekou somewhat, but in accordance with the law, occupied the other arguments, also complained that does not help. The key lies in the licenses necessary to run the company down.
Where to start? No "business guide", we were no spectrum. So try a line of the financial sector regulators to talk about, ran a line with the city government to talk about. Toss a few rounds, and engage in a meaning to understand: a single license do not work, it is necessary to set up specialized commercial insurance companies to operate this thing, but the nature of the establishment of the new companies, non-approval of People's Bank of China head office will not do! Wasted Many energy, we understand that out before going to Beijing to resolve the problem, there is inevitably a loss and "unattainable".
From the Qing Dynasty China Merchants ships built in 1986 to play on the day, China Merchants Group, ushered in 100 years birthday. At this point, under the Ministry of Communications, China Merchants Group, based in Hong Kong, Shekou Industrial Zone of this piece of land surrounded by dozens of its investment companies, in the areas of real estate, finance, shipping, tourism and so on, each year for the state to create Hundreds of millions of dollars of profits. Group of Daqing, China Merchant's companies have sent people to attend. At the forum, speakers were enormously proud of his success to look to the future, national interests and historical responsibility of the revitalization of the motherland and prosperity of the people the idea has been mentioned from time to time, 100 years came and the pain and frustrations have not been forgotten. MA Mingzhe one sitting, as the only representative of the Social Security Corporation, and his mind is like, how to set up a commercial insurance company. His turn to speak, he simply referred to the history of China Merchants Insurance Office, Shekou to the end of the social insurance difficulties, said, "That is the case, we can not be like 100 years ago, China Merchants insurance companies to do the same again Let this old industrial area Caoqi industry? "
MA Mingzhe, said the insurance company China Merchants Insurance is a natural. At that time, through continuous investment, insurance has gone through China Merchants Renhe marine insurance companies, fire and water relief, Yan Chai and the change of water and fire insurance. To 1920, "sinking" to the government-run China Merchants difficult position of the ship, the silver deficit of up to 20,000,000 of the two. Yan Chai water and fire insurance companies and most of the funds remain in China Merchants ships, "the nest is overturned, there is an eggs will survive," Yan Chai and the business slowly decline, eventually closed down in October 1934.
MA Mingzhe listen to the finish, the Yuan Geng familiar with the history of China Merchants did not bring up again, he replied: "I do not agree with your point of view."
"I do not agree with your point of view, but I defend your right to speak." Yuan Geng on the faction to do, MA Mingzhe has not been heard. Three years ago in 1983, Shekou Industrial Zone of the masses through direct elections, appraisal Managers, an industrial area in the election of the Board of Directors, Yuan Geng was 15% vote of no confidence did not Xincungaidi. Yuan Geng is not a stubborn person, he just needed more reasons and statements.
On the actual start of the new type of insurance is concerned, if not allow competitors engaged in Shekou social insurance business insurance, Yuan Geng saw no justification to be able to endorse or agree to a new system of the birth of the insurance companies? MA Mingzhe has been the establishment of the company was vague and The future development of a major obstacle to the industry is a monopoly, but China's financial sector entry permit system may be a greater challenge. In the future, the company set up in 1988 years, MA Mingzhe and his team will have to understand these issues more deeply. But at that time, he was just the idea of reporting to the Yuan Geng, let him know.
But until that time, MA Mingzhe alone did not see the Yuan Geng. "Yuan Geng at the time of Shekou, with 'God', while not easy to see." He later recalled. Look for their own things, MA Mingzhe will not give up easily. China Merchants to find his car, deputy general manager of David and asked him to a more detailed report to the Yuan Geng. The report will no longer be "replaced" program, but based on reality, "back for the time being" in order to later be able to "move forward in big strides."
"At that time, to be really hard to see Yuan Dong, David looking for a car Yuan Dong, Yuan Dong and I understand the idea and expressed interest in the car so that I treasure time with the interview, so I have a chance to go face to face Hong Kong Yuan Dong Reporting. "Yuan Geng founded in 1978 in Shekou Industrial Zone, from the imagination to begin only three months, and the beginning of 1986, all by himself safely MA Mingzhe has spent nearly two years, Yuan Geng He did not so glorious fate. However, to maintain and dedication to help his very busy.
Peace, "set sail"
April 21, 1988, the first Ping Lau Kam-chairman of the board of directors to court issued in the name of the first meeting of the notice to inform the rest of the 9 directors on April 28 held its first meeting. MA Mingzhe as China Merchants Shekou, deputy general manager of social insurance is also one of the directors, but his mood is different from others. These days he keeps on hand in the revision of a report prepared on the board read. The beginning of the meeting. MA Mingzhe to report. He recalled the emotion of the establishment of the company, from 1986, intends to set up insurance Shekou community with a commercial insurance company, to Shenzhen to visit dozens of departments to explore the avenue of insurance companies do, after a year from the management "conditions Immature and can not run the commercial insurance business, "dismissed on the ground, much to the twists and turns in the secondary application is still frustrated," into "Zhongnanhai, Beijing and then to turn back time and again agreed to arrange with access to basic until March 1988 by People's Bank of China Head office approved a two-year MA Mingzhe to enumerate the running again. In addition affirmation and his colleagues together into "have the confidence and the unyielding spirit of things," he did not forget to thank all for their support.
You do not have a director who does not know the hardships, does not have the experience, but had a few days ago and handed them to scrutinize the report of the grass-like - the company set up by some hard - they have things more or less To understand. These people stay long in power positions for many years and understand the cause of the difficulty of exploring new, not resistance because of man-made bureaucracy, and sometimes even if officials feel Nian-Ci, want to help arm in the various ministries, authorities introduced a variety of Former Bill will be confused. They looked at the front of the specific services to make arrangements for the thin face, his imagination and his team encountered difficulties, can not help but give a heartfelt recognition and praise.
MA Mingzhe then report on the company's future and plans. He analyzed the Shenzhen markets has reached the conclusion that there are still 75% of the insurance market does not develop, the volume of business to do still more than 7,000,000,000 yuan, to earn a premium of not less than 7 billion potential . He certainly did not forget to potential rivals People's Insurance Company of strength, and to learn from their successful experiences, the development of flexible and diverse insurance provisions. Finally, he mentioned the "three Planning" - 3 in the early years, the city set up in Shenzhen Branch 3, 20 to 30 offices and 50 agents, all-round business; the medium-term 3 to 5 years, 4 in China A special economic zone, Hainan Province, 14 coastal cities and the establishment of the Hong Kong branch offices and agents, operating outside the dangerous mission of all types; the latter part of 5 to 8 years, the basic set up branch offices nationwide, and the Office of the Deputy , Operating all types of insurance.

Home insurance into the plight facing up for sale
Despite the recent slight improvement in the domestic home insurance, but insurance companies comes less than the volume of business, and consumers have little knowledge about insurance. Home insurance has not yet out of the predicament. Home insurance has become up for sale. Recently, a well-known home decoration and building materials supermarket chains in China first introduced the Home Insurance Scheme, signed in the supermarket renovation of the public can get free insurance for one year.
It is understood that the insurance scheme is divided into two types, the first is a one-year value of 100,000 yuan's basic insurance plan. The second is the value of 100,000 yuan a year for a period of well-being of the insurance plan. The basic plan will be fire, flood, water pipes burst, explosion, lightning, storms, floods caused by a variety of reasons, such as fixed home decoration loss of financial security, the insured amount of up to 100,000 yuan. It is understood that the Home Insurance has been in existence for many years, but consumers know very little. One consumer said that the family only know that the original property insurance can be, but I do not know the family decoration can be insured. For the cost of a higher level of consumers, the decoration is worth the risk.
Home accidents serious losses for many, the roof has been leaking bubble bad furniture, flooring experience. Mr. He, who lives in Fengtai District, one of them. Two months ago, to take care of his daughter to school, for the time being moved to other places to live, all of a sudden he receives a telephone call last week, said his house has been leaking. Mr. He returned to a home in Fengtai, because the pipe plug from the toilet overflow of sewage in a stream, over the entire floor.
At that time, Mr. He did not even know who is responsible for the only silently bear their own losses. In fact, Mr. He was not the worst experience of all kinds of accidents that may occur at any time, which is also the risk significance of the decoration. However, the majority of consumers are rarely able to be prepared in advance.
Home insurance status embarrassing It is understood that in Hong Kong, Home Insurance coverage is a high rate of insurance. Hong Kong Home Insurance provides a wide range of protection, not only kept in the homes of property to protect, and the insured and their family members carried by the private property lost or damaged as a result of accidents can be compensated.
Minya insurance brokerage firm of Liu Gang, a senior broker said most of the domestic insurance companies also can vote integrated family property insurance, insurance coverage, including on the part of the family decoration, insurance is also gradually expand the content, and some even include pets Terms of the assault.
Insurance and home decoration risk of a gradual increase in sales, but still can not compare auto insurance and life insurance.

The triple-risk insurance
From the U.S. financial crisis, domestic financial companies feel the cold. Has become known as the umbrella for other people to provide risk insurance to the insurance industry can not be spared, although far from the storm, but still suffered. October 7, China Ping An announcement said the provision of Fortis Investment Group of around 157 billion Fukui. Although long it is better to cut short the suffering, just so Fukui would be too costly.
More insurance companies are facing a fall in the stock market as a result of the pain brought about by profit. 2007 insurance companies in the stock market was big harvest, the use of capital gains more than the sum of 5 years ago to 279,170,000,000 yuan. May be less than a year, the insurance companies to invest in the market has Aihongbianye, insurance companies and even to last year's profits are paid into. The impact of these far more than the central bank to cut interest rates also may affect the deposit insurance funds the agreement, such as the stability of the proceeds to buy government bonds. I believe the end of the year, insurance companies, the report card will be exposed to more problems.
Facts show that the financial turmoil caused by the insurance company profits drop, has pushed the risk of a domino.
Operational risks
Last year, huge profits have full confidence in insurance companies so that at one time, Zhihen can use the funds in the hands of too few. As a result, at the beginning of this year, on sales of spare no effort to quickly bring premium income of the Bank of security products, including the risk even vote, universal insurance and risk sharing. Many insurance companies also paid a special dividend to its customers and enhance the public's confidence in the insurance. This directly stimulate the growth of large-scale premiums in the first half of the country's life insurance premiums increase by 64%, Xinhua, companies such as Taikang has been completed in the first half of the year business.
However, these insurance companies at a cost of business, banks need to pay a 3% service charge, if the personal marketing, higher fees. These dividends and universal risk insurance should pay for security at the end of the interest rate and possible additional income. In the sharp decline in cases, the additional cost of such insurance has become a burden. Therefore, the central fiscal large Professor Hao Yansu think this is insurance companies in the "high-interest financing." Fortunately, the regulatory authorities in time to stop this kind of rapid expansion of wind in the second half of the brake Security Bank, the development-security insurance. The more sales uneasy feeling, I am afraid only of the insurance industry alone in this strange phenomenon.
Investment-insurance premiums brought about by the growth, but if investors find that the proceeds can not be achieved, it will choose to surrender. The use of insurance funds are configured, the surrender of the disorder is caused by insurance companies could pressure cash, in-depth impact on operating. In the first half of this year, only to surrender the life insurance market in Shanghai expenditure that is more than 4,000,000,000 yuan, with the universal insurance, investment and risk even lower income, continuing the wave of surrender.
The risk of misleading
The insurance industry is misleading the big old problem. In order to be able to sell insurance products, often exaggerated income, insurance and so on. If the insurance company has realized a higher income, such as in 2007 the big bull market run, just to extend the insurance liability, such as sickness insurance unified re-implementation of the new standards, to expand the types of diseases, then we would not have even misled the big problem. Unfortunately, this "just" very low probability. In most cases, all in order to mislead the "tragedy" ending: or damage to the interests of consumers, such as the surrender and continue to pay; insurance companies, or hit, such as Ping An Insurance was a "vote even dangerous storm."
Since last year, the insurance companies on a large scale expansion, bringing high-speed growth in premiums, but also planted a misleading, "the source of trouble." Insurance earnings have fallen sharply, and will reveal the true face of misleading. Universal insurance, risk sharing and risk even for a "selling point" is the proceeds, in order to promote sales, insurance companies no less effort is needed: to demonstrate the actual dividends as dividends, the chance of a state of high-yield as a stable income, to cover up as much as possible universal insurance , Even for high-risk or cost of the initial fees ... ... when the insurance case of investment down, turn around and look at the consumer's own insurance, will find that insurance is not as sales, said it's "better." I said, with no sales personnel Huyou of high-yield, low risk and can not fall on the contract.
And so consumers have been misled, the complaint will go, of course, unless there is sufficient evidence, it would be very difficult to be satisfied with the results of the final surrender can only get away. It should be noted that in order to yield points for the demands of the individual is not misleading, and a large number of complaints about the risks posed surrender can be imagined.
Brand Risk
Operational risks and the cumulative risk of misleading, as well as on insurance companies in the insurance industry as a whole image of the damage, the effects of long-term development. Insurance is invisible products, relies on trust. People choose a final insurance products, is actually the insurance brand recognition. When people no longer trust the insurance companies, who would risk security, pension entrusted to it? AIG after the crisis, its subsidiary friends immediately suffered a surrender, and this is the best description. As a result, not the development of the insurance trust is the biggest "killer."
The risk of large-screen just started, in fact misleading, and so on before any professional, honest advocacy is weak, many insurance companies have worked hard to build up the brand may face a crisis of confidence, the industry as a whole will be affected .

Agricultural insurance should be explored in a number of issues
Huai'an City as a national agricultural insurance in the province of Jiangsu and the first to run the city, has been 4 years. In recent years the practice of agricultural insurance has initially produced some positive effects, such as conducive to the stability of agricultural production will help farmers to increase the capacity of disaster relief, in favor of building a new socialist countryside is conducive to the commercial interests of the insurance companies to maintain. At the same time, some successful practices in the face at the same time and found that some of the impact on the sustainable development of agricultural insurance, in the light of actual author of these issues for a brief discussion.
The implementation of the principle of compulsory appropriately
China's agricultural insurance now is to implement the principle of voluntary participation, but in practice, many from the local agricultural insurance and Pratt & Whitney's "law of large numbers", the government's administrative role, has been on rice, wheat and other major Project and a half to take a mandatory approach. And the higher number of government documents, on the one hand, emphasized the voluntary insurance, and insurance requirements at the same time, the rate must reach a certain percentage of the conflict, but also the grass-roots support for the Government's suit. As a result of inconsistent policies and practices, which has led to conflicts between a small number of cadres production, and increased the difficulty of this task. The principle of voluntary insurance is the biggest drawbacks of the adverse selection problem, farmers have the right to choose easy to hit the insurance field, and to choose the sum insured higher level of insurance, after the disaster will be 66.7 times the premiums paid by the insured amount of compensation ( 3 yuan per mu, for example to pay premiums, receive 200 yuan of the sum insured). This is the agricultural insurance organizer did not want to see the phenomenon, but under the existing policy and difficult to eradicate. Huai'an City, county has a large grain last year, the disaster-prone rice fields to choose the insurance premium, the premium paid over 4000 yuan, has been more than 20 million in disaster compensation. Under the prevailing policy of this inevitable Huai in the phenomenon of moral hazard is not uncommon, but with a difference in degree.
In the future could take appropriate enforcement policy? On the one hand, a few of the important bearing on people's livelihood security of agricultural items, such as rice, wheat, and so on, the practice of compulsory insurance, and other agricultural capital projects, from farmers to decide whether or not insured. On the other hand, to determine a level of insurance coverage a mandatory uniform, higher than the grade of this part of the insured farmers on a voluntary basis. Some foreign agricultural insurance more successful countries, such as the United States, Japan, France, and so on, are appropriate to implement the principle of mandatory. If we can do for our country to improve the international competitiveness of agriculture and ensure food security, agricultural insurance in an effective solution to the adverse selection and moral hazard problems, agricultural insurance to safeguard the interests of all the main operator plays an important role. Now, more and more farmers realize that the agricultural insurance benefits of farmers willing to accept and which to implement the principle of compulsory appropriately possible.
Solve the agricultural insurance premium collection of difficult issues
Huai'an agricultural insurance from the pilot to comprehensively implement the years, is the most difficult to collect premiums farmers. Due to the current voluntary insurance principles of the farmers, they can participate in the subjective can not, objectively speaking, but by the reunification of the village's insurance requirements, some subjective and do not want to have the participation of farmers, to pay premiums on time delay or even negative simply do not pay .
The solution of this problem, to consider whether two ways: first by the Government. This year the country to raise the proportion of premium subsidies, farmers need to pay premiums of 30%. Jiangsu in 2007 the sown area of wheat and rice 7095.7 million, from farmers to pay the minimum level of premium calculation of 3 yuan per mu, only the province more than 200,000,000 yuan, the Government has put 30% premium to afford one should have no problem with ; Second, the integration of agriculture with funds from the agriculture funds are listed (or clear them as a farmer's insurance premium payable) to resolve. At present, the farmers of the country's food subsidies for each mu of farmland, improved comprehensive agricultural subsidies and funds for supporting agriculture subsidies has been more than 100 yuan, while farmers should pay the premium for each mu (rice and wheat) less than the 1 / 10 , A very small proportion. State Department "on the reform and development of the insurance industry views on a number of" clear "to the agricultural insurance as a way of supporting agriculture innovation, support the protection of agriculture into the system." Such a solution has been to provide the basis for the policy. Moreover, the implementation of appropriate principles of compulsory insurance, agricultural insurance coverage to all the farmers, the premium funds for supporting agriculture in the integration after the reunification of the charge should be inevitable. This in two ways, should be unified in order to insure the basic level, which is higher than the basic choice of premium grade, by the farmers themselves. If so, will greatly reduce the operating costs of agricultural insurance and the difficulty of the work.
P & I from the development of science standards and the amount of security standards
P & I from the science standards is a prerequisite for the existence of agricultural insurance. At present, China's agriculture is still scattered small-scale production, the disaster occurred, connected with the plot, as well as between the block with a piece of land, the extent of the disaster may be different. If compensation from the standard set too low, man-made survey will be an increase of the cost of damage; compensation from the standard too high, farmers will be compensated as a result of chance is too small to lose the enthusiasm of insurance, agricultural insurance difficult. P & I from the scientific standards should be able to reflect the "appropriate protection, low-premium" should be a small disaster deductible, in compensation for disaster, the disaster compensation.
By the same token, the right to develop or not the standard amount of insurance cover is the key to the success or failure of agricultural insurance. At present, China's grain yield was not high. Huai'an to wheat, for example, when the harvest of 800 jin per mu or so, more or less net income per mu is more than 300 yuan. It is therefore essential that the sum insured for less than the standard for properly, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid the occurrence of speculation. Agricultural insurance is not the purpose of the high amount of insurance to increase their income, but in order to reduce the loss of the affected farmers, stable agricultural production.
The establishment of agricultural funds and the risk of catastrophe reinsurance system
Huai'an from the start of the three grains, two types of rice, from pilot to comprehensively implement the 3 years, a total of peasants from? U premiums and the central, provincial, county (district) government financial subsidies for a total of 44,250,000 yuan, More than 30 million farmers to pay 29,510,000 yuan, excluding the cost of management, the accumulation of the development of agriculture insurance Fund 11,000,000 yuan can be said to be break even after a slight savings. At the same time, the provincial government in accordance with the requirements of the Huai have begun to set up provincial, municipal, county (district) three levels of government-funded financial city and county (district) catastrophic risk reserve, but not the actual amount, it is difficult to resist the destruction of a major disaster .
On this issue, whether in the light of premium subsidies, including the establishment of the central government subsidies and other catastrophic risk fund system and re-insurance system. State revenue has increased year by year, in the first half of this year's 33.3 percent growth in revenue, the fiscal surplus has nearly as much as 1,200,000,000,000 yuan; steady growth in the economy, the state's agricultural support increased continuously, and then follow-up of the agricultural insurance needs support In the country's economic power should not be a problem.
Clearly part of the premium savings tax
Policy-oriented agricultural insurance is not commercial, then it's only the premium savings as a Development Fund to implement a rolling accumulation for a large disaster payment. Huaian Rice county in 2007 suffered serious floods, when the payment is not only used up 3-year accumulation, and more than 190 million in cost overruns. As a result, agricultural insurance premiums should not tax savings that year. But now the absence of clearly defined, the tax authorities still want to impose on commercial insurance, insurance companies and government due to the agricultural insurance were not paid, the two sides approach the more embarrassing. This situation go on a long-term, the conflict will inevitably come to the surface. As a result, the premium savings for that year of the implementation of fund management, tax and other issues, the state should be on agricultural insurance legislation to give clear, in order to promote the sustainable development of agricultural insurance.
The implementation of the principle of compulsory appropriately
China's agricultural insurance now is to implement the principle of voluntary participation, but in practice, many from the local agricultural insurance and Pratt & Whitney's "law of large numbers", the government's administrative role, has been on rice, wheat and other major Project and a half to take a mandatory approach.

If compensation from the standard set too low, man-made survey will be an increase of the cost of damage; compensation from the standard too high, farmers will be compensated as a result of chance is too small to lose the enthusiasm of insurance, agricultural insurance difficult. P & I from the scientific standards should be able to reflect the "appropriate protection, low-premium" should be a small disaster deductible, in compensation for disaster, the disaster compensation.
By the same token, the right to develop or not the standard amount of insurance cover is the key to the success or failure of agricultural insurance. At present, China's grain yield was not high. Huai'an to wheat, for example, when the harvest of 800 jin per mu or so, more or less net income per mu is more than 300 yuan. It is therefore essential that the sum insured for less than the standard for properly, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid the occurrence of speculation. Agricultural insurance is not the purpose of the high amount of insurance to increase their income, but in order to reduce the loss of the affected farmers, stable agricultural production.
The establishment of agricultural funds and the risk of catastrophe reinsurance system
Huai'an from the start of the three grains, two types of rice, from pilot to comprehensively implement the 3 years, a total of peasants from? U premiums and the central, provincial, county (district) government financial subsidies for a total of 44,250,000 yuan, More than 30 million farmers to pay 29,510,000 yuan, excluding the cost of management, the accumulation of the development of agriculture insurance Fund 11,000,000 yuan can be said to be break even after a slight savings. At the same time, the provincial government in accordance with the requirements of the Huai have begun to set up provincial, municipal, county (district) three levels of government-funded financial city and county (district) catastrophic risk reserve, but not the actual amount, it is difficult to resist the destruction of a major disaster .
On this issue, whether in the light of premium subsidies, including the establishment of the central government subsidies and other catastrophic risk fund system and re-insurance system. State revenue has increased year by year, in the first half of this year's 33.3 percent growth in revenue, the fiscal surplus has nearly as much as 1,200,000,000,000 yuan; steady growth in the economy, the state's agricultural support increased continuously, and then follow-up of the agricultural insurance needs support In the country's economic power should not be a problem.
Clearly part of the premium savings tax
Policy-oriented agricultural insurance is not commercial, then it's only the premium savings as a Development Fund to implement a rolling accumulation for a large disaster payment. Huaian Rice county in 2007 suffered serious floods, when the payment is not only used up 3-year accumulation, and more than 190 million in cost overruns. As a result, agricultural insurance premiums should not tax savings that year. But now the absence of clearly defined, the tax authorities still want to impose on commercial insurance, insurance companies and government due to the agricultural insurance were not paid, the two sides approach the more embarrassing. This situation go on a long-term, the conflict will inevitably come to the surface. As a result, the premium savings for that year of the implementation of fund management, tax and other issues, the state should be on agricultural insurance legislation to give clear, in order to promote the sustainable development of agricultural insurance.

Health insurance companies selected nine insurance tactic
PICC Shanghai branch of the health insurance marketing general manager, said Xiao-Feng Song, health insurance can be divided into the cost of medical care, hospitalization benefits, the three major categories of diseases. Consumers should hold "no, all incomplete, good," the nine tactic.
Health and is closely related to people's lives, the continuing rise in medical costs has stimulated more and more people's awareness of insurance. In a row we received a call from readers over the phone consultation, asked to choose a suitable health insurance products. In this regard, I sought the advice of health insurance professionals.
PICC Shanghai branch of the health insurance marketing general manager, said Xiao-Feng Song, health insurance can be divided into the cost of medical care, hospitalization benefits, the three major categories of diseases. Consumers should hold "no, all incomplete, good," the nine tactic.
There is no health risk insurance is a must-have
It is understood that because of people's understanding of the health insurance less, so often lost in many insurance products, it is difficult to find the most suitable for their own products. Although the Shanghai social degree of the basic medical insurance coverage has reached a higher level, but the commercial health insurance as an effective complement, to fill the medical expenses of members of the public pays part of the cost.
As a result, customers in the development of the insurance plan, first of all on health insurance should be included in the plan to address this part of the security gaps. As of July this year, the Shanghai A total of 39 life insurance companies, the vast majority of companies have individual health insurance, every company has a number of products less than 4. We can see that there is a demand of the consumers, the choice is a lot of scope.
The whole incomplete, reasonable arrangements for three types of health insurance
For some of the insured's health insurance consumers, the next is to improve the health insurance category, the cost of medical care, hospitalization benefits and major diseases are indispensable.
The cost of medical insurance needs of priority allocation. According to the proportion of such products for reimbursement of the difference can be divided into high, medium and low grade three. Consumers should be able to income, age, as well as basic medical insurance reimbursement standards, to protect the grade. However, strong economic strength of the consumer, you can choose one-stop insurance payments and the responsibility of the highest proportion of the products, some payments to medical insurance outside the scope of medical expenses.
Ordinary working class consumers in the community have a basic medical insurance, the purchase of major diseases can choose 80000-100000 amount of insurance. Higher-income consumers, it can be 2-3 times the annual income of the disease re-set the amount of insurance protection to ensure that the disease will not affect the cost of the treatment of domestic economic stability.
Additional allowances are usually hospitalized as a risk insurance. Can repeat this type of insurance product, much more to lose than to buy, according to the hospital to determine the level of charges to buy the shares. Many white-collar workers at the time of purchase, will select several hundred dollars per patient per day allowance, to protect the hospital's loss of income due to illness.
Good, good brands Select Insurance
Although the health insurance market, product range, homogeneity is also very strong, but at the time of purchase should compare features and brands, as far as possible from the impact of the price. Short-term medical insurance, for example, some insurance companies will be insured at a higher amount of annual compensation, will no longer be the second year of the renewal of the business. This utilitarian idea of screening operations, to allow the insured to the insurance companies do not have a sense of confidence.
China Insurance Regulatory Commission sets out the scope of protection must be included 6 major diseases, is currently on the market risk of severe disease protection up to dozens of diseases. However, the development of the product's point of view, based on 6 Chuxian the highest rates of disease and other diseases, the basic rate is very low. As a result, consumers buy should be re-disease risk based on physical examination reports, family history of disease, as well as insurance companies to provide health care services.

-7 This year in January, the Chinese life insurance industry has shown rapid growth, life insurers premium income up 66.7 percent, year-on-year increase in recent years, is the largest one-year, but we have heard it is a life insurance Industry growth potential risks behind the concerns: the China Insurance Regulatory Commission stressed that "the life insurance industry to strengthen risk management and control and structural adjustment", China's insurance industry association called on "the insurance industry will strictly regulate the behavior of employees," reported the China Insurance comment on the article " Silver surged security business, hi Ye Ye worry? "
Three worries
"Hidden" from the rapid growth accompanied by the three major issues.
First, the sustainability of growth is not strong, may cause big ups and downs of the industry risk. In July from the life insurance premium income of the ring than the rate of increase, to more than the ring in June fell by nearly 26%. Although the life insurance industry to the overall situation is good, but the growth rate volatility will undoubtedly increase the potential risk of all types, the life insurance industry in the long-term health effects of sustainable development.
Second, there is a structural operational risk, investment-type insurance products over the development, protection-type insurance product development lags behind, it may depart from the development of the industry in the right direction. In the first half of this year, including dividends risk, and risk everything to vote, even the risk of investment products, insurance-life insurance premium income accounted for 79% of the proportion of the end of last year to increase by 9 percentage points. If the dividend omissions insurance, risk everything to vote, and even dangerous proportion of the total close to 30% higher than at the end of last year, an increase of 25% and 5 percentage points. According to the Shanghai Bao Jianju statistics, in the first half of this year, risk everything to vote, and even the risk has to occupy half of Shanghai's life insurance market, reaching 46.90 percent. The universal insurance income 5,597,000,000 yuan, up 132.10 percent, accounting for the total life insurance premium income of 20.94 percent, all business in the fastest-growing insurance; insurance business for even reached 4,210,000,000 yuan, up 103.18 percent, Life insurance premium income accounted for a total of 15.75 percent.
Third, a single channel, the main channel for banks to rely on the blow-out growth. In the first half of this year, there were 80,090 bank branches insurance agent, the total insurance industry and agencies of 52.84 percent, to realize 173,262,000,000 yuan premium income and fee income 5,470,000,000 yuan. Both premium income or fee income, the bank in the insurance industry and agencies of all proportion to increase significantly, the proportion of premium income from last year's 62.89 percent rise to 72.76 percent, the proportion of income from fees last year's 42.14 percent Up to 59.03 percent.
Silver volatile security
It is clear that investment-based insurance and speeding the development of the Bank's insurance business is a fast-growing life insurance industry in the first half of this year's high-speed growth of the two major driving force, pulling the life insurance premium income of the company's size. However, as long as the Bank of the current security status of business development and investment-type insurance products to make a sales analysis on the life insurance industry is not hard to see behind the prosperity of the problems.
Banks and Insurance Companies from the business point of view, in the first half of this year due to the sharp fluctuations in the stock market, major banks in order to make up for funds due to the reduction in sales brought about by the shrinking middle income, more attention to the insurance agency business and its employees as an important aspect of performance appraisal, which Greatly stimulated the Bank's insurance business and expand high-speed growth. There is no doubt that this growth is extraordinary, to be more changes in the external environment, sustainability is not strong. Bank of China's insurance business has been carried out since, it has been in a state of instability in the development, sometimes a sharp rise in turn continued to shrink, depends entirely on the banks of the insurance agency business initiative. Once the stock market is booming, the Bank of security operations on the natural out in the cold, at the same time the public interest will be to stocks, a lot of money into the local stock market plummeted immediately Bank security operations; once the stock market, banks are Bank of security operations on the degree of concern Increase in the Bank of security operations on the immediate improvement. Therefore, the Bank of security operations is to look at the rise and fall to a large extent, the banks face, a lot of volatility.
The ups and downs of the business is the largest against life insurance companies increased the difficulty of matching assets and liabilities, and may even have a solvency problem that affects the stability of the company's operating life. On the other hand, a small number of life insurance premiums in blind pursuit of size, cost and improve the malicious agent fees, and some for the sake of "Happy Valley enclosure", managers at the bank on the use of "hidden rules", dinner gifts, so that the Bank of security High business costs, squeezing the life insurance company's profit margins, expenses and even worse the risk of loss. There are people in the trade, if not alert security to face up silver business risk, then the Bancassurance "win-win" could become a "one-win", I am afraid that life insurance companies can only come to a "call to make under risk" Notoriety.
Revenue down
From the investment-type insurance products, in 2007 due to higher investment income dividend program demonstration effect brought about by the introduction of universal insurance settlement, as well as interest rates rise gradually, taking in real interest rates negative for the financial environment, risk sharing, and risk everything to vote Even dangerous, and other investment-insurance products sought after by consumers. In the first half of this year, although a substantial capital markets, but by the inertia of factors, in particular the bank's initiative, the bank channel, with its advantages and social credibility of the investment-type insurance product sales continue to climb up, the rapid growth in premiums In life insurance premiums in the proportion rising.
However, with the stock market in the second half of 2008 remains in the doldrums, life insurance companies decreased investment income, unless special dividend for the use of reserves is expected in 2008 and 2009 the reduction in the level of dividends, universal insurance settlement reduced the level of interest rates, even for risk investment Account will inevitably shrink, which is bound to affect the type of investment products, insurance premium growth, and may even trigger a wave of blind surrender. On the other hand, investment in the sales of insurance products that exist in misleading conduct will be because of the decline in investment income and increased the risk of surrender. Over the past few years, investment-type insurance products, the high proportion of surrender has been the existence of the phenomenon, which can not be avoided is the reason for the sale of investment in marketing insurance products based on inadequate investment risk tips, and even suspected of misleading policyholders. According to reports, in the first half of this year, Shanghai's life insurance market, about 40 billion back premiums, the rate of about 15% of the surrender, surrender the amount of dividends insurance payments accounted for 57% of the surrender, even dangerous for the simple surrender More than 8%.

Buffett extended to the three major bond insurers "olive branch"
"Unit God," said the U.S. investment master Warren »Buffett said that on the 12th,'s Berkshire» Hathaway (Berkshire Hathaway) will be willing to three insurers underwriting of the bonds worth about 8000 100 million U.S. dollars of municipal bonds to provide reinsurance. This news eased the initial investors in the further deterioration in the credit market concerns.
Bond insurers facing huge claims
Buffett in the United States CNBC TV interview, said that Hathaway had three largest U.S. bond insurer Ambac, MBIA and FGIC proposed, is willing to their underwriting of municipal bonds to provide reinsurance, but does not include other complex high-risk Financial instruments.
Bond insurer's role is in bonds issued to lose the solvency of responsibility on their behalf. Since the outbreak of the crisis, loan and mortgage bonds Wei Yuelv continues to rise, bond insurers facing huge claims. The world's largest bond insurer MBIA Inc. announced that its 2007 fourth quarter in its history with the most serious single-quarter loss. Ambac, FGIC failed to keep the bond insurer crucial 3 A credit rating.
The United States and the municipal authorities usually only received the highest rating of the insurance business. With some insurers ratings decline, many municipal bond issuers choose to give up insurance. As a rating of only 3 A large reinsurers, Berkshire in helping to stabilize the highest ratings of municipal bonds, municipal bond insurance was boosted resale value is uniquely advantageous position. This professional reinsurance will also bring new areas of the capital. Over the years, bond mutual insurer has been providing reinsurance, as the bond insurer's overall loss increase, the market also secured by the value of the doubt.
Buffett disclosed that a body had rejected his proposal, he is waiting for the other two institutions answer. He said in an interview: "It seems they did not open the door to accept us." Buffett also said that he was prepared for these bonds the insurer 30 days time to find a better deal.
Real help or limited
The industry pointed out that Buffett's aid scheme seemingly timely help, but in fact, the insurers have little real meaning. Buffett is the re-insurance is limited to the major targets of insurers minimize the risk of default, the best quality assets - municipal bonds, and real hot potato - all kinds of high-risk structured finance tools (such as vouchers, and other unsecured claims ) Were excluded, there is no fundamentally solve the problems faced by insurers. At the same time, high-quality assets will be re-insurance, the remaining asset portfolio risk levels actually increase, insurers downward pressure on the ratings was not the slightest mitigation.
Paris banking transactions in U.S. interest rates Co-Head Nicholas »Beckman said that this is good news, the market breathed a sigh of relief. But I think some of the excessive market reaction, the real problem lies not in municipal bonds, but the structural financial products.
Assured Guaranty Ltd. Chief executive officer of Dominica » said that Buffett's proposal includes only the bond insurer in the municipal bond business, so Chouzou funds to the bond insurer will exceed the benefits . Assured Guaranty is a stability has been received 3 A rating of the bond insurer, to provide reinsurance to other insurers. said that if the bond insurer of municipal bond business will be transferred to the Buffett, will find that they need more funds, because by then their business will be a higher risk of over-reliance on the private debt market.

The loan-to-crisis spread to the U.S. mortgage insurer compulsory preservation of government actions
While the United States and the insurance industry to do all the growing losses and face the risk of lower credit ratings, the original mortgage insurance company is not interesting in the same severe attack. With the reduction of funds on hand, these companies may be unable to meet some of underwriting requirements, thereby enabling the real estate market is down more worse.

The so-called mortgage insurer, is for those who pay less than 20% of housing property rights of the first payment, provide a "mortgage insurance", the general mortgage payment agencies hope that these loans to purchase such insurance, because once they are unable to meet repayment obligations, Insurance companies will be responsible for reimbursement of part of loans, the loan amount is usually 25% to 35%.

Analysts point out that the available assets of insurance companies continue to weaken, the insurer may be unable to meet demand, thereby affecting demand for consumer purchases, inhibit the housing market recovery.
Sub-loan-to-crisis environment of the problems in the mortgage insurance companies will force insurers to raise the threshold. To MGIC example, some states will no longer purchase the urban areas of the first payment Fangkuan less than 5% of the total mortgage loan borrowers to offer insurance. This allow more people to buy housing. "Insurance is raising the threshold consumers face another negative factor", housing research firm Zelman & Associates, chief executive of (Ivy Zelman) said.
Fortunately, the Federal Housing Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac, Fannie short) last Thursday announced that preparations for the interim adjustment for private mortgage insurance companies to the relevant provisions, the goal is to retain more mortgage insurance premiums for the insurance company claims , As well as the restoration of their asset base.
Freddie said that if the mortgage insurance company's credit rating was lowered to AA grade or below the same level, it would not be in accordance with the regulations of these companies in raising capital adequacy ratio and other requirements. Freddie also provides insurance premium income in mortgage loans to so-called professional captive to transfer part of not more than 25 percent in order to leave more premium income, increased at a faster rate of capital.
Freddie and the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) the establishment of two government-sponsored company acquired many of the claims of mortgage loans, they rely on mortgage loans to help insurance companies to share part of their mortgage loan risks.
These mandatory mortgage insurance companies protection initiatives will help mortgage insurer faster cumulative capital and reduce the impact on consumers underwriting, thus easing the effect of the real estate market.
