8 How will Rebalancing be Achieved Premiums Losses The New Zealand Insurance Market  Premium Levels increase  Excess Levels / Retention / Self Insurance increase  Insurers have to be aware of affordability of insurance

9 Excess Levels / Retentions / Self Insurance  Natural Damage excesses – 2.5%, 5%, 10% minimum by region  Fire and other perils  Co-insurance v full insurance  Managing affordability

10 Available capacity Who’s gone  Ansvar, Western Pacific, China, AMI, Civic  Zurich and Allianz now only writing natural disaster cover in certain areas of NZ New Insurers – Yes but!!  They are opportunistic  Short term  Very expensive

11 Social Impact  Compliance to new seismic requirements v affordability  Safety and ongoing use of Parish properties – sustainability  Economic stress – something must give  Flight to quality insurers for more certainty  Church is struggling to cope with the increased premiums

12 Mitigation Opportunities Valuations  Accuracy  Understanding  Control IEP - Careful  Engineers Reports  Geotech Reports  Structural Reports Planning  Contingency based  Understand need  Decide  Act The outcome will be hugely influenced by the Information you are able to supply

13 Conclusion  Costs still increasing although rate of increase has slowed  Capacity still tight for at risk territories / properties  Coverage restrictions Where will you be insurance wise if there is another Christchurch?
