Better, more
confident, more
welfare, more
powerful, more
happy future will
be in Turkey by
Insurance.
The only way to climb to the top without hitting the ground is
to pound the insurance nails in many places and to hold the
insurance nail.
Turkey can carry on its path in the next decade without failing
and without stopping by having all its risks insured and having
its insurances reassured by overseas reassurance companies,
in other words by exporting all risks to abroad.
Today, while the total credit provided to the economy by
banking system is around USD 400 billion in total, the insurance
system, by guaranteeing a risk at the amount of USD 20 trillion,
makes a bigger contribution to the Turkish economy and
society. It is a prerequisite for Turkey to achieve its targets that
the share of the insurance sector in GDP which is 1.5% moves
towards 5% similar to the European countries.
At the end of 2013 half year, the number of life insurance
policies exceeded 20 millions. The total of traf�ic and Casco
insurance policies exceeded 20 millions and DASK achieved
50% growth, BES 60% growth and Auto 50% growth. These
numbers demonstrate how much Turkey believes in the
necessity and importance of insurance. If the growth continues
in the same speed, it is envisaged that the end of year premium
production will exceed USD 13 billion with a growth of 30%.
Better, safer, wealthier, happier future will be provided by
Insurance for Turkey.
In order for the insurance business to increase and grow,
Insurance Information and Monitoring Centre, we have
launched many projects and we will soon start to actualize
them. Maybe, the project on transferring to the central system,
that is, to our Centre, the information in real time at the
moment when the policies are drawn up, which is a �irst in the
world, would be the biggest achievement of the sector.
I hope that Turkey's 2023 targets will be accomplished in
the extreme and Turkey easily becomes one of the 10 biggest
economies in the world.
De�initely insurance in order to achieve the targets!
Better, more con�ident, more welfare, more powerful, more
happy future will be in Turkey by Insurance.
Best Regards.
Year 2023, Turkey is at the top with insurance!
