  • A Regulatory Review of Formal and Informal Funeral Insurance Markets in South Africa a Market Review and Regulatory Proposal
    A regulatory review of formal and informal funeral insurance markets in South Africa A market review and regulatory proposal prepared for Finmark Trust April 2005 26/04/2005: VERSION 4.5 Author: Hennie Bester Doubell Chamberlain Ryan Short Richard Walker Genesis Analytics (Pty) Ltd 2nd Floor, No 3 Melrose Square, Melrose Arch, Johannesburg South Africa, 2196. Post to: Suite 3, Private Bag X1, Melrose Arch, Johannesburg, South Africa, 2076. Tel: +27 11 214 4080, Fax: +27 11 214 4099 www.genesis-analytics.com FOREWORD The need to provide for funerals is one of the key drivers of financial behaviour for many South Africans and has led to a relatively sophisticated and widely accessed informal financial sector. It is estimated that over 6 million people currently belong to burial societies where an estimated R6 billion is invested every year- in addition to the wide usage of stokvels (or savings clubs). These informal groups play an extremely important role in mitigating the risks of poor households and, interestingly, are often complemented or supported by formal providers - as can be seen in the Financial Diaries project1. However it was evident from the scoping study FinMark Trust completed on making insurance markets work for the poor2, that the existing legislative and regulatory environment was especially inhibitive to the potential graduation of the so-called „informal mutual assistance (common bond) organisations‟ ability to become insurers in their own right. At the same time, however, there is a heated debate about the extent of abuse in both the informal and formal funeral insurance market. In light of the above, the following report sheds light on the operations of this key market (from formal to informal), assesses the extent of the abuse and current regulatory environment and proposes some amendments to the current regulatory regime.

  • The Burial of the Urban Poor in Italy in the Late Republic and Early Empire
    Death, disposal and the destitute: The burial of the urban poor in Italy in the late Republic and early Empire Emma-Jayne Graham Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology University of Sheffield December 2004 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk The following have been excluded from this digital copy at the request of the university: Fig 12 on page 24 Fig 16 on page 61 Fig 24 on page 162 Fig 25 on page 163 Fig 26 on page 164 Fig 28 on page 168 Fig 30on page 170 Fig 31 on page 173 Abstract Recent studies of Roman funerary practices have demonstrated that these activities were a vital component of urban social and religious processes. These investigations have, however, largely privileged the importance of these activities to the upper levels of society. Attempts to examine the responses of the lower classes to death, and its consequent demands for disposal and commemoration, have focused on the activities of freedmen and slaves anxious to establish or maintain their social position. The free poor, living on the edge of subsistence, are often disregarded and believed to have been unceremoniously discarded within anonymous mass graves (puticuli) such as those discovered at Rome by Lanciani in the late nineteenth century. This thesis re-examines the archaeological and historical evidence for the funerary practices of the urban poor in Italy within their appropriate social, legal and religious context. The thesis attempts to demonstrate that the desire for commemoration and the need to provide legitimate burial were strong at all social levels and linked to several factors common to all social strata.

  • 4. the Micro-Insurance Market in South Africa
    Making insurance markets work for the poor: microinsurancemicroinsurance policypolicy,, rregula�egula� on and supersupervisionvision South Africa case study Version 6 (12 January 2009): Final This document presents the findings from the South African component of a five-country case study on the role of regulation in the development of microinsurance markets. The objectives of this project were to map the experience in a sample of five developing countries (Colombia, India, the Philippines, South Africa and Uganda) where microinsurance products have evolved and to consider the influence that policy, regulation and supervision on the development of these markets. From this evidence base, cross-country lessons were extracted that seek to offer guidance to policymakers, regulators and supervisors who are looking to support the development of microinsurance in their jurisdiction. It must be emphasized that these findings do not provide an easy recipe for developing microinsurance but only identifies some of the key issues that need to be considered. In fact, the findings emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach informed by and tailored to domestic conditions and adjusted continuously as the environment evolves. The project was majority funded by the Canadian International Development Research Centre (www.idrc.ca) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (www.gatesfoundation.org) along with funding and technical support from the South Africa-based FinMark Trust (www.finmarktrust.org.za)1 and the German GTZ2 (www.gtz.de) and BMZ3 (www.bmz.de). FinMark Trust was contracted to design and manage the project. Together with representatives of the IAIS, the Microinsurance Centre and the International Cooperative and Mutual Insurance Federation (ICMIF) the funders are represented on an advisory committee overseeing the study.

  • Speech by Sam Woods at the Insurance Institute of London Lecture, Lloyd's of London, on Wednesday 27 January 2016
    Embarking on a new voyage? Solvency II in context Speech given by Sam Woods, Executive Director of Insurance Supervision, Bank of England The Insurance Institute of London Lecture, Lloyd’s of London 27 January 2016 I am grateful to Kayleigh Guinan and Mark Cornelius for their assistance in preparing this speech. I am also grateful to Norma Cohen (Bank of England), Dr Adrian Leonard (Cambridge), Professor Philip Rawlings (Queen Mary) and Robert Thoyts (FCA) for their views and input. 1 All speeches are available online at www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Pages/speeches/default.aspx Good afternoon. The good ship Solvency II is now afloat. It has taken a long time to make it seaworthy. Some might question whether we need this newly improved vessel. Indeed, some might challenge whether we should have a ship at all. But that is largely academic, given we are now under way and in light of the gargantuan efforts insurance firms and regulators have put into getting us to this point. In my speech today, I would like to look at this development in the wider context of insurance history. First, I would like to offer a brief view on why, looked at through the lens of today, we regulate insurance companies at all. Second, we will take a very whirlwind tour of 5,000 years of insurance activity, for the single purpose of pointing out that for at least four-and-a-half of those five millennia there was very little regulation of insurance, if any. Third, I will examine how the British state has involved itself in the affairs of insurance companies over the past 500 years.
