Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/05/2014 -- Despite the global financial and European debt crises, the Spanish reinsurance segment registered a review-period (2008-2012) CAGR of 9.6%, increasing from EUR3.2 billion (US$4.6 billion) in 2008 to EUR4.6 billion (US$5.9 billion) in 2012. The Insurance Compensation Consortium (CCS) provides cover for all natural disaster events through a compulsory surcharge based on sums insured, which set a very low requirement for insurers to seek natural disaster reinsurance, which includes unexpected natural and socio-political risks. With gradual economic improvement and increasing public confidence in insurance products, the segment is expected to post a forecast-period (2012-2017) CAGR of 7.1%.

Key Highlights

- The Spanish reinsurance segment continued to grow at stable rate during the review period, despite the variable nature of the industry during this time.
- Due to provisions by the CCS, there is little need for insurers to seek catastrophic reinsurance, which includes unexpected natural and sociopolitical perils.
- Solvency II implementation is expected to increase demand for reinsurance as minimum capital requirements will rise and firms will concentrate on adopting risk mitigation strategies.
- Reinsurers continue to explore the segment's growth potential.
