CPRI MARKET UPDATE FOR JULY 2016

“The economic and geopolitical outlook appears more unsettled this year than it has in decades, but we can spread the message that existing political risk and political violence insurance products will provide multinational businesses with the necessary risk mitigation tools for operating in the current global environment.” Steven Fidler, Wall Street Journal.

The Arthur J. Gallagher Market Update for July 2016 summarises the changes in line structure and tenors available from commercial political risk insurers since our last report in January 2016. The summary reflects the outcome of reinsurance negotiations where renewals have been completed in the intervening period, as well as the arrival of any new insurers who have gained approval for their business plans and obtained sufficient capital allocations. Additionally, any changes to credit agencies’ rating of the insurers are detailed herein.

Since the January 2016 edition, the world has experienced some significant economic and political events, to which the insurance market has been exposed. With the CPRI market heavily exposed to the vicissitudes of the commodities markets insurers are keen to diversify their books into alternative revenue streams.

In this issue of the Report and Market Update we have included details of the development of the Non-Trade (unsecured) market. For clarification, non-trade financing on a secured basis has been permitted for some time but in the past six months we have seen a noticeable increase in underwriter capacity. That said, particularly for Lloyd’s Syndicates, appetite for writing unsecured business is selective.

Global macroeconomic growth continued to stutter during the first half of 2016, with global real GDP expected to expand by 2.6% this year—the worst since 2013 and the second lowest since the global financial crisis.

In March, China released details regarding their 13th Five Year Plan, stressing the importance of economic restructuring. It is expected that China will become increasingly self-sufficient in the future; on the back of significant expansions in the technology and financial sectors. Measures stipulated in the plan also suggest a greater commitment to environmental stewardship.

The United States presidential election is proving itself to be the most unpredictable and populist in recent decades. A Trump presidency in November has become increasingly possible, far exceeding early expectations of the Republican candidate.

The United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in the June “Brexit” referendum. The unexpected outcome shocked markets around the world and prompted the resignation of British Prime Minister David Cameron. Geopolitical uncertainty is likely to weigh heavily on the European economies over the coming years as parties negotiate the future of UK-EU relations. On the upside is an opportunity for the UK to increase cooperation with economies outside Europe; the devaluation of the GBP could also be a major draw for FDI.

Leaders of the European Union responded to the Brexit vote, indicating that it will only enter into negotiations once Article 50 has been instigated. The EU parliament is keen to end the insecurity brought about by the referendum and to salvage the most of what remains. 2017 will likely see the election of a new French president to replace François Hollande; while federal elections in Germany could challenge the position of Angela Merkel—who has been a pillar of continuity in Europe for more than a decade. Eurosceptic, anti-establishment and hard right wing parties are expected to gain momentum in EU member states, potentially destabilising the union and threatening a Eurozone fallout.

Commodity prices are expected to increase gradually across the board. Although benefitting from the rise in commodity prices, the prospect of a full recovery continues to be difficult for many emerging markets as they struggle with high budget deficits and slow economic reform.

In May, Brazil’s senate voted to suspend and put on trial President Dilma Rousseff for allegedly

breaking budget laws. Polls show interim President Michel Temer, whose market friendly policies are favoured by investors, to be highly unpopular among the public. The negative outlook on Mr Temer comes in response to harsh social program cuts and renewed allegations of his involvement in the ongoing corruption debacle.

In South Africa, President Jacob Zuma’s political position was effected as the “Zuma Must Fall” movement gained traction following upsets in recent months. Numerous protests against “corruption and cronyism” in the government signify the possibility of Mr Zuma being recalled should the November municipal elections swing against the African National Congress.

The political climate in Cambodia has further destabilised as the ruling Cambodia People’s Party intensifies its crackdown on the opposition ahead of the 2017 local elections. Rallying behind the opposition party, which is predicted to win in the next election, are the increasingly powerful garment sector unions.

The United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) peacekeeping force prepares to draw down—raising fears among investors as well as politicians themselves. A recent corruption scandal, alongside a contentious run-up to the 2017 elections, has increased the risk of violence in the short term.

Turkey has entered a period of high tension as violence spreads from across its border with Syria. In addition to those by Kurdish militants, Turkey continues to face threat of terrorist attacks by the so-called Islamic State (Daesh). Daesh has also claimed responsibility for a number of attacks outside the region this year; most notably in cities such as Jakarta, Brussels and Orlando.

After six months of involvement in the Syrian conflict, Russia began to withdraw the majority of its forces from the country. The downscaling of military operations would offer some respite to Russia’s recession-ravaged economy, and might even suggest an attempt to improve relationships between Russia and the West.

India-Pakistan peace talks were once again suspended, this time due to an attack on an Indian air base in January—weeks after Indian PM Modi paid a landmark visit to his counterpart in Pakistan. A healthy relationship with Pakistan is paramount to maintaining India’s interests in Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. However, India has become wary of the growing Islamabad-Beijing connection which includes the recent commencement of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

Some of the upcoming elections expected in 2016 are summarised below:

Country Risk is a composite index used to gauge and compare the overall stability of a country. The index assesses the implications associated with potential changes to the country’s political, economic and business environment. It takes into consideration factors that could affect both long term as well as the short term prospects. The global average sits at 54.6.

EMERGING MARKETS COUNTRY RISK RATINGS

We compare Country Risk Ratings as at 01 Jan 2016 with those at the time of publication of this Market Report.
