NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

43. INSURANCE RISKS (cont’d)
For the monitoring of buyer risks, the Group and the Bank takes into consideration both qualitative and quantitative factors
and conducts regular reviews on the buyers’ credit standing and payment performance to track any deterioration in their
financial position that may result in a loss to the Group and the Bank.
On country risk, the Group and the Bank periodically reviews the economic and political conditions of the insured markets
so as to revise its guidelines, wherever appropriate. In order to mitigate the insurance risk, the Group and the Bank may cede
or transfer the risk to another insurer company. The ceding arrangement minimises the net loss to the Group and the Bank
arising from potential claims.

Key assumptions
The sensitivity analysis is based upon the assumptions set out in the actuarial report and is subject to the reliance’s and
limitations contained within the report. One particular reliance is that the net sensitivity results assume that all reinsurance
recoveries are receivable in full.
The sensitivity items shown are independent of each other. In practice, a combination of adverse and favourable changes
could occur.

The sensitivity results are not intended to capture all possible outcomes. Significantly more adverse or favourable results are
possible.
Sensitivity analysis

The independent actuarial firm engaged by the Group and the Bank re-runs its valuation models on various bases. An analysis
of sensitivity around various scenarios provides an indication of the adequacy of the Group’s and the Bank’s estimation
process in respect of its Insurance contracts and Takaful certificates. The table presented below demonstrates the sensitivity
of the Insurance contract liabilities and Takaful certificates estimates to particular movements in assumptions used in the
estimation process.

The analysis below is performed for reasonably possible movements in key assumptions with all other assumptions held
constant, showing the impact on gross and net liabilities. The correlation of assumptions will have a significant effect in
determining the ultimate claims liabilities, but to demonstrate the impact due to changes in assumptions, assumptions had
to be changed on an individual basis.
