Research and Markets: The Latest Malaysian Insurance Report for Q3 2008 is Now Available - Understand the Current Market, Future Outlook & Major Company Profiles(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RDATE:13102008 Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/03095b/malaysia_insurance) has announced the addition of the "Malaysia Insurance Report Q3 2008" report to their offering. Malaysia Insurance Report provides independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Malaysia's insurance industry. In Q308, the key change is that we have incorporated much more information about the companies that are operating across the regions of which each country is a part. We have sought to make it much clearer who is operating in each country and under what name(s). Perhaps equally importantly, our profiles make it plain which multinational companies are not operating in each country. In the Asia Pacific, we profile 23 companies. These are AEGON, AIG, Allianz, Aviva, AXA, Cardif, Fortis, Generali, Groupama, HDI-Gerling, HSBC Insurance, ING Group, Liberty Mutual, Manulife, MetLife, Prudential Financial, Prudential plc, QBE, RSA, Sun Life Financial, The Hartford, Principal Financial Group and Zurich Financial Services. We also look at various local firms that are active in the region: some of these companies rank, in terms of the premiums that they write, among the largest in the world. For almost all the countries whose reports we are updating, we are also able to include actual data for calendar 2007: this was not the case for our Q208 reports. In 2007, total premiums in Malaysia rose by 8% to MYR31,787mn. Non-life premiums rose by 4% to MYR11,488mn, while Life premiums rose by 11% to MYR20,299mn. Between now and the end of the forecast period, we expect that annual Non-life premiums will grow by MYR7,057mn, while annual Life premiums should increase by MYR6,517mn. Growth in Non-life premiums should be driven by the general growth in nominal GDP plus a rise in Non-life penetration from the current level of 1.88% to 2.15%. Growth in Life premiums should be driven by the change in the overall population and a rise in life density from US$227.53 to US$300.00 per capita. BMI s Insurance Business Environment Rating is 63.5.
