DEFINITION OF INSURANCE
Insurance is defined as a cp-operative device spread that loss caused by a particular
risk over a number of persons who are exposed to it and who agree to insure
themselves against that risk. Risk is uncertainty of a financial loss. It should not be
confused with the chance of loss, which is the probable number of losses out of a
given number of exposures. It should not be confused with peril, which is defined
as the cause of loss or with hazard, which is a condition that may increase the
chance of loss. Finally, risk must not be confused with losses itself which is the
unintentional decline in, or disappearance of value arising from a contingency.
Wherever there is uncertainty with respect to a probable loss there is risk. The
famous writers’ definitions about insurance are below:

4
“Insurance is a promise by an insurer to an insured of protection/or service.”
Mowbray and Blanchard.

“Insurance may be define as a system of combining many loss exposures, with the
cost of the losses being shared by all of the participants”-F.G. Granc.

“Insurance is a social device whereby the uncertain risk an individuals may be

combined in a group and thus made more certain, small periodic contributions by
the individuals providing a fund out of which those who suffer losses may
reimbursed”-Riegel and miller.

History of insurance
In some sense we can say that insurance appears simultaneously with the
appearance of human society. We know of two types of economies in human
societies: money economies (with markets, money, financial instruments and so
on) and non-money or natural economies (without money, markets, financial
instruments and so on). The second type is a more ancient form than the first. In
such an economy and community, we can see insurance in the form of people
helping each other. For example, if a house burns down, the members of the
community help build a new one. Should the same thing happen to one's neighbor,
the other neighbors must help. Otherwise, neighbors will not receive help in the
future. This type of insurance has survived to the present day in some countries
where modern money economy with its financial instruments is not widespread
(for example countries in the territory of the former Soviet Union).

5
Turning to insurance in the modern sense (i.e., insurance in a modern money
economy, in which insurance is part of the financial sphere), early methods of
transferring or distributing risk were practiced by Chinese and Babylonian traders
as long ago as the 3rd and 2nd millennia BC, respectively. Chinese merchants
traveling treacherous river rapids would redistribute their wares across many
vessels to limit the loss due to any single vessel's capsizing. The Babylonians
developed a system which was recorded in the famous Code of Hammurabi, c.
1750 BC, and practiced by early Mediterranean sailing merchants. If a merchant
received a loan to fund his shipment, he would pay the lender an additional sum in
exchange for the lender's guarantee to cancel the loan should the shipment be
stolen.

Achaemenian monarchs were the first to insure their people and made it official by
registering the insuring process in governmental notary offices. The insurance
tradition was performed each year in Norouz (beginning of the Iranian New Year);
the heads of different ethnic groups as well as others willing to take part, presented
gifts to the monarch. The most important gift was presented during a special
ceremony. When a gift was worth more than 10,000 Derrik (Achaemenian gold
coin) the issue was registered in a special office. This was advantageous to those
who presented such special gifts. For others, the presents were fairly assessed by
the confidants of the court. Then the assessment was registered in special offices.

The purpose of registering was that whenever the person who presented the gift
registered by the court was in trouble, the monarch and the court would help him.
Jahez, a historian and writer, writes in one of his books on ancient Iran:
"[W]henever

The owner of the present is in trouble or wants to construct a building, set up a

feast, have his children married, etc. the one in charge of this in the court would
check the registration. If the registered amount exceeded 10,000 Derrik, he or she
would receive an amount of twice as much."

A thousand years later, the inhabitants of Rhodes invented the concept of the
'general average'. Merchants whose goods were being shipped together would pay
a proportionally divided premium which would be used to reimburse any merchant
whose goods were jettisoned during storm or sink age.

The Greeks and Romans introduced the origins of health and life insurance c. 600
AD when they organized guilds called "benevolent societies" which cared for the
families and paid funeral expenses of members upon death. Guilds in the middle
6
Ages served a similar purpose. The Talmud deals with several aspects of insuring
goods. Before insurance was established in the late 17th century, "friendly
societies" existed in England, in which people donated amounts of money to a
general sum that could be used for emergencies.

Separate insurance contracts (i.e., insurance policies not bundled with loans or
other kinds of contracts) were invented in Genoa in the 14th century, as were
insurance pools backed by pledges of landed estates. These new insurance
contracts allowed insurance to be separated from investment, a separation of roles
that first proved useful in marine insurance. Insurance became far more
sophisticated in post-Renaissance Europe, and specialized varieties developed.

Toward the end of the seventeenth century, London's growing importance as a

centre for trade increased demand for marine insurance. In the late 1680s, Mr.
Edward Lloyd opened a coffee house that became a popular haunt of ship owners,
merchants, and ships’ captains, and thereby a reliable source of the latest shipping
news. It became the meeting place for parties wishing to insure cargoes and ships,
and those willing to underwrite such ventures. Today, Lloyd's of London remains
the leading market (note that it is not an insurance company) for marine and other
specialist types of insurance, but it works rather differently than the more familiar
kinds of insurance.

Insurance as we know it today can be traced to the Great Fire of London, which in
1666 devoured 13,200 houses. In the aftermath of this disaster, Nicholas Barbon

opened an office to insure buildings. In 1680, he established England's first fire

insurance company, "The Fire Office," to insure brick and frame homes The first
insurance company in the United States underwrote fire insurance and was formed
in Charles Town (modern-day Charleston), South Carolina, in 1732.

Benjamin Franklin helped to popularize and make standard the practice of

insurance, particularly against fire in the form of perpetual insurance. In 1752, he
founded the Philadelphia Contribution ship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss
by Fire. Franklin's company was the first to make contributions toward fire
prevention. Not only did his company warn against certain fire hazards, it refused
to insure certain buildings where the risk of fire was too great, such as all wooden
houses.
7
In the United States, regulation of the insurance industry is highly Balkanized, with primary
responsibility assumed by individual state insurance departments. Whereas insurance markets
have become centralized nationally and internationally, state insurance commissioners opera0te
individually, though at times in concert through a national insurance commissioners'
organization. In recent years, some have called for a dual state and federal regulatory system
for insurance similar to that which oversees state banks and national banks.

ORIGIN OF INSURANCE

The concept of such a philosophy of grouping to gather or risk sharing developed

in every ancient time. We are probably go back to 4th century, which witnessed the
practice of BOTTOMRY BONDS and RESPONDENTIA BONDS in maritime
trade. If at a time distress in mid ocean, the master of the vessel used to be need of
fund/money for completion of journey, but could not manage the same at an
intermediary port either on his account or on the account of the owner of the
vessel; master was empowered to raise such fund by pledging the vessel. Such a
system was known as Bottomry Bonds, as the loan was used to be given by signing
bond. The term of the agreement was that the loan was required to repay only if the
ship reached destination safe and sound. In case total loss of the ship, nothing was
required to be repaid. It was quite obvious, therefore, that the creditors used to
charge a premium, in addition to interest, to protect themselves against the
possibility of total losses when they lose the principal amount. Similar loans could

also be raised on pledge of cargo and this was used to be done on Respondentia
Bonds. The terms

of repayment were exactly the same. The practice has been abandoned since 19th
century because of tremendous advancement in communication system.

Another practice, which is still in existence, is known as GENERAL AVERAGE,

which has in itself the element of sharing the loss of one by all. It is a very old
custom and can be traced back to916 B.C. during the time of Rhodians. In
maritime adventure it is probable that the ship a long with cargo and other interest
is in great distress ocean and it may be required of the master of the vessel to take a
bold decision on the spot aiming at the safety of the venture. Such as action may
involve incurring of expenditure or sacrifice. For example, throwing overboard of
the cargo to lighten the vessel.

8
Up to 18th century we also experience, amongst the merchant community, a system
to sharing risks with each other. They used to form a group where in one of the
merchant, in particular voyage, used to accept the risk against a premium from
others whilst the others used to trade. On the different occasion another from the
group used accept the risk whilst the rest used to trade, and so on. So at one time
had to take the responsibility of risk bearing and collection was such, which could
reasonably take, caring of probable loss. As the group was indeed small and the
professional expertise on risk management was rather varying limited, the rate of
premium used to be necessary high. Here also it is necessary for the student to
appreciate that, even through, this is not the present day system of insurance as an
isolated specialized entity, but nevertheless, that concept of insurance, that is to
say, a system of sharing or spreading risk gradually developed because of need,
which was ultimately replaced by modern insurance approach.

DEVELOPMENT INSURANCE IN BANGLADESH

Insurance is not a new idea or proposition to the people of Bangladesh. About half
a century back, during the British rule in the then India, some insurance companies
started transacting insurance business, particularly life, in this part of the world.
Since 1947 until 1971 insurance business gained momentum in this part of what
then known as East Pakistan. There were about 49 companies transacting both life
and general insurance business.

With the emergence of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, the government, in

order to make available the future of liberation to the general mass, nationalized
the insurance industry 1972 by Presidential Order No.95, more specifically in
known as the Bangladesh Insurance (Nationalization) Order, 1972. By virtue of
this order, save and except postal life insurance and foreign life insurance
9
companies, all companies and organization transacting all types of insurance
business in this country came under this nationalization. Five insurance
corporations ware basically established, viz,

1. Jatiya Bima Corporation,

2. Teesta Bima Corporation,
3. Karnaphuli Bima Corporation,
4. Rupsa Bima Corporations,
5. Surma Bima Corporations,

The Jatiya Bima Corporation was not an underwriting corporation, instead, it was a
central corporation to supervise and control the activities of remaining four
subsidiary corporations responsible for underwriting. As per this order Teesta and
Karnaphuli were made responsible for general insurance business and Rupsa and
Surma were made responsible for life insurance business. All the existing 49
companies were merged with these 4 corporations. Whilst life companies or the
life portion of a composite company joined the Rupsa and Surma, the general
companies of general portion of composite company joined the Teesta and
Karnaphuli.

Risk consideration for changing premium

Interest rate risks

Volatility of money market, which ultimately imposes upward pressure on interest
rate structure, may erode organization profitability.

Exchange rate risks

Devaluation of local currency against major international currencies affects
business performance of import based companies or companies borrowing in
foreign currency affects adversely.
Industry risks
The Company is operating in a highly competitive industry. Entrance of competitor
in the business arena may hamper business
growth of the company
Market and technology-related risks
To be competitive in the market Insurance companies always need to develop new
products and services as well as to introduce new
insurance policies. Failing of which may make the Company out performed by its
competitors.
Potential or existing government regulations
As an insurance company, Prime Islami life Insurance Limited is directly regulated
by the Chief Controller of Insurance. Any
unfavorable change in regulations may affect the Company's business.
Potential changes in global or national policies
Unfavorable change in global and national policies will affect company’s business
operation.

Operations risks
Liberalization of permission to set up more insurance companies by government
may result in severe competition amongst insurers thus reducing premium and
profitability.

Claims
19
Clams are policy benefit payable according to the terms of policy contract. Claims
by survivals are recorded when these become due for payment. Death claims are
accounted for when intimated.

those policies where the intimation of death has been received up to 31st December,
2006
