Role of Government & Industry

• Establishment of a National Earthquake Pool in 2003 which became PT. Asuransi MAIPARK Indonesia (MAIPARK) as from 23^rd December 2003
• All Non-Life Insurance and Reinsurance Companies operating in Indonesia are shareholders of the company; MAIPARK is owned by the Insurance Industry itself
• Promote discipline and proper handling of Earthquake Insurance
• Set a benchmark for Earthquake Insurance Pricing
• Collate national Statistics and Data Bases
• Build strong local Capacity for Earthquake
• Shareholders must cede a “Shareholder Cession” of each earthquake risk underwritten to MAIPARK. At present they cede 5% to 25% of sum insured with a max. of USD 2,500,000 any one risk to MAIPARK depending on the location of the risks

Market Penetration of Catastrophe Insurance

• Non-Life Insurance penetration rate in general is very low, despite growing from 0.69% in 2004 to 0.72% (Gross Premium in % of GDP) in 2004.
• Increasing awareness for Catastrophe Cover after the Aceh Tsunami and Nias Earthquake. However, demand remains on the low side.
