  • Direct Written Premium Income & Growth Ratio
    TAIWAN REPORT Presented by John Wu, Chief Engineer Engineering Insurance Association 43rd IMIA Meeting, Berlin, Germany • Overview of the local Insurance situation • Engineering insurance market and its general speciality • Local companies • Specific insurance conditions and present problems • Interesting risks, projects • Losses • Possible trends • Specialty Overview of the local Insurance situation (1/3) • The Market in General • The direct written premium of Taiwan’s non‐life insurance industry revealed continuous decline in 2009. The premium income was reduced from NT$107,731 million to NT$101,859 million, which was NT$5,872 million or 5.45% less than the premium income of the previous year. Overview of the local Insurance situation (2/3) • The decrease of premium income in 2009 was mainly attributed by two factors: o First, by the global financial crisis from the previous year. o Second, the 3rd stage of deregulation in the non-life market on April 1st. Each of the insurers was allowed to establish its own rating mechanism and this policy finally resulted in significant drop in premium rates. • The deregulation policy applied to the non-life insurance industry since 2002 gradually revealed its adverse effects to the market. In 2002, the growth of premium income of the market reached a peak of 11.67%. However, the growth started to decrease year by year and finally became negative since 2006. The decline in premium income has lasted for four consecutive years.

  • University of Oklahoma Libraries Western History Collections
    University of Oklahoma Libraries Western History Collections Everett Francis Drumright Collection Biography: Everett Francis Drumright was born in 1906, in Drumright, Oklahoma. His father, Aaron Hatcher Drumright, was one of the founders of Drumright, Oklahoma for whom the town was named. Everett graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 1929 with a degree in business and within a year had joined the U.S. Foreign Service. He served his first probationary tour in Juarez, Mexico and was then sent to China to study the Chinese language. After his studies in Peking, he was transiting through Shanghai while enroute to Hankow in February 1932, when he was caught in the crossfire between Chinese troops and Japanese forces which were attempting to overrun China. He later served in Nanking, Chungking, and Shanghai between 1932 and 1941. He was taken prisoner by the Japanese less than a week after he arrived in Shanghai and spent over six months in an internment camp. He and other American officials were released only when the Americans and Japanese agreed to an exchange of diplomats. After a brief stay in Washington D.C., Drumright returned to West China in January 1943 and remained there until 1944. He was then assigned to Washington D.C. once again and was reassigned to Tokyo, Japan as Deputy to the Political Affairs Division of General MacArthur’s headquarters. He stayed in Japan for only a month before he was sent to Korea where he helped establish the U.S. Embassy to the new Korean government. When fighting broke out with North Korea, he was instrumental in evacuating more than 600 American civilians from Seoul, placing them on commercial vessels bound for Japan.
