Industry Overview - The new insurance contract accounting standard (IFRS17) aims to enhance the comparability and transparency of insurance companies' financial performance by unifying accounting practices across different regions and industries [52][59] - IFRS17 introduces significant changes to the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of insurance contract liabilities and profits, impacting the accounting practices, management, and strategic development of the insurance industry [57][33] Key Changes in Insurance Contract Accounting - Insurance contracts must be split into "clearly distinguishable" investment components and non-insurance service promises, with investment components subject to financial instrument accounting standards [60][54] - Premium income recognition shifts from a cash basis to an accrual basis, with the recognition period extended from the payment period to the coverage period, enhancing income stability [64][65] - Insurance contract liabilities are measured based on fulfillment cash flows and contract service margins, with a focus on the time value of money and financial risk adjustments [71][72][77] Impact on Financial Reporting - The new standard requires separate disclosure of insurance service performance and investment performance, improving the analysis of profit sources and the transparency of financial statements [42][43][171] - The introduction of the OCI option allows insurers to smooth the impact of interest rate fluctuations on profits by allocating changes in insurance contract liabilities to other comprehensive income [37][147] - The contract service margin absorbs non-economic assumption adjustments, smoothing profit releases over the policy service period and reducing volatility in financial statements [173][31] New Measurement Models - The General Model (BBA) is the core measurement method under IFRS17, applicable to most insurance contracts, including long-term life insurance, health insurance, and some annuity contracts [164][148] - The Variable Fee Approach (VFA) is designed for contracts with direct participation features, where the contract service margin absorbs all future service-related cash flow changes, including those caused by discount rate changes [38][122][123] - The Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) provides a simplified method for short-term contracts with durations of less than one year or those expected to yield results similar to the General Model [27][150] Strategic Implications for Insurers - The new standard pushes insurers to focus on the profitability of policies, as the scale advantage of low-value insurance products is eliminated, and loss-making contracts are clearly visible [21][126][153] - Insurers may need to adjust their business models and product strategies, particularly for products with significant investment components, to align with the new accounting requirements [64][21] - The enhanced transparency and comparability of financial information under IFRS17 may drive insurers to adopt more refined management practices and improve their risk management frameworks [171][33]

Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly state an investment rating for the industry Core Insights - The implementation of IFRS9 is expected to increase the financial volatility of insurance companies, as many financial assets previously classified as available-for-sale will now be classified as FVTPL, leading to greater profit fluctuations [58] - IFRS9 introduces a more objective classification of financial assets based on cash flow characteristics and business models, which will enhance the accuracy of asset valuation and management [19][48] - The expected credit loss model under IFRS9 requires insurance companies to recognize credit losses earlier, which may lead to increased provisions for impairment [12][32] Summary by Sections 1.

Impact on the Insurance Industry - The implementation of IFRS9 is expected to lead to increased volatility in the financial statements of insurance companies, as more assets will be measured at fair value with changes recognized in profit or loss [58] - Insurance companies may adjust their asset allocation strategies, favoring high-quality bonds and low-volatility equities to mitigate the impact of IFRS9 on their financial performance [33][74] - The transition to IFRS9 may result in a decrease in the total amount of impairment provisions, as certain assets will no longer be subject to impairment testing [41][68]
