2. Insurance
Insurance provides financial protection against misfortune to an individual institutional unit
– the “misfortune” may be either death or the end of a fixed period (life insurance) or other risks and contingencies (non-life insurance)

3. Life insurance The output of life insurance is defined as
Premiums (D.71) (actual premiums + premium supplements (D.44))
less
Benefits + increase in reserves

4. Life insurance
Premiums – regular payments by policy holders to insurance company Premium supplements – all income earned on reserves Benefits – payments to policy holders on death of the policy holder, or end of agreed term Increase in technical reserves – amount earned on funds held (and attributed to policy holder)

5. Non-life insurance Premium – payment to insurance company
Claim – amount payable to insured in the event of an event covered by the policy
The excess of premium over claims is invested and this provides an extra source of income to meet claims
Output of insurance is premiums plus property income less claims

6. Non-life insurance
A transaction is imputed, to assign the property income to policy holders, and is recorded in the secondary distribution of income account
It is then paid back to the company in another imputed transaction, as “premium supplements”.

7. Non-life insurance
When an event causes very large claims, excessive claims paid out can result in small or negative output, leading to negative value added
To avoid this, national accounts follows the view of the insurance company
Smooth the claims over time, and replace claims by these “adjusted claims” in the calculation of output

8. Non-life insurance
Output = premiums plus premiums supplement (property income on reserves) less adjusted claims
For catastrophes, part of claims may be recorded as capital transfers rather than current transfers
This reflects the use made of claims, to replace infrastructure of capital assets
