ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018

“Société Centrale de Réassurance” (SCR) was created in 1960 by an agreement between the Moroccan State and the “Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion” (CDG). This convention was modified and renewed on November 28, 2000.

A National Leader...

As a subsidiary of the Kingdom’s largest financial group (CDG), SCR holds a leading position in the reinsurance market in Morocco. It also plays an institutional investor role by helping to retain premiums and to mobilize savings in the national economy. SCR ensures its economic profitability by serving the Moroccan market and developing external relations in various targeted areas.

In terms of securing of the Moroccan market, SCR, with its large experience and its perfect knowledge of international reinsurance markets, offers the required protection to the Moroccan market to cope with international fluctuations of reinsurance conditions.

... which exerts influence on an international scale

At an international level, SCR is one of the oldest reinsurance companies in Africa, that has effectively contributed to the creation of regional bodies such as the Arab General Insurance Union and the African Insurance Organization. SCR also worked for the creation of regional companies such as the Arab Reinsurance Company and the African Reinsurance Company.

The experience acquired by SCR has been made available to many Arab and African countries that have created similar companies. As a result, SCR often hosted representatives from countries in Africa and in the Middle East for information and training missions.

Main areas of intervention:• Reinsurance support for the Moroccan Market• Missions of general interest: disaster risk regime• Serving insurers and major Moroccan groups

in their international development• Implementation of new products on behalf of

Moroccan and African insurance companies (Credit Guarantee, Parametric Insurance, Cyber Risk, Political Violence, etc.)

• Subscription Zone: Africa, Middle East and some Asian Markets (India, China, Iran, South Korea, Pakistan, …)

SCR Strategy

Throughout 2018, SCR has maintained its leadership position in the local market, while ensuring a carefully managed cross-border growth strategy. Thus, year 2018 was marked by the realization of most of the projects of the “Strong II” Transformation plan with a more than 80% progress rate, together with the preparation of the transfer of their operational component.

A special attention was made at the end of the year on the implementation of a new strategic thinking meeting the Company's future challenges. In addition, international development has continued in accordance with a specific growth strategy combining revenue and profitability. This strategy allowed SCR to confirm and consolidate its regional reinsurer status at continental level, while taking into account the various regulatory changes underway.

The international deployment was marked by the penetration of new markets and the opening of two contact offices (in Rwanda and in Egypt). SCR has continued to support public authorities in their various missions of general interest, in particular in the management of catastrophe risk coverage, as well as in the implementation of the new circular relating to risk based solvency.

• Improvement of the management style and of the corporate culture: The success of the transformation plan is reachable through the development of the human capital, but also through the development of successful marketing strategies and management projects.

• The Procedures Manual reform

SCR has launched the “ Procedures Manual reform” mission, which is currently being finalized with the aim of capitalizing on the know-how of the employees.

• Application of the service commitment reference system

In order to better reinforce the trust of its customers and partners, SCR has set up a repository based on the deployment of DTS Document Tracking System modules for all the functions of the Customer relationship (underwriting, claims management, technical accounting, customer accounting...) and technical support functions as well as the automation of the Customer claims process.

In parallel, a meeting of the Scientific and Technical Commission of the African Center for Catastrophic Risks was held in order to outline the main lines of future collaboration between the CARC and the members of the commission.

• Audit mission of technical provisions

An audit mission for the technical provisions approved on 31/12/2016 was carried out by an actuarial firm. The firm has described in its audit report the level of SCR provisioning as sufficient and as an acceptable margin of prudence. Another audit mission has been launched: it concerns the technical provisions closed on 31/12/2017.

• Information System: a performance lever for SCR

The international marketIn 2018, the global non-life insurance market grew by 3%, led mainly by emerging markets, with growth estimated at around 8%. With premiums up 12%, non-life activities in China and India were particularly dynamic. Agricultural insurance has been one of the main drivers of growth in these two countries.

In advanced economies, premiums increased by about 2% in 2018 driven by strong economic growth, particularly in North America. In the areas most affected by natural disasters in 2017, the rise in rates in the property and casualty business encouraged premium growth. However, lower premiums in the automotive sector in Japan and the United Kingdom had a negative impact on all advanced markets.

For its part, improving the profitability of the global non-life insurance sector was positively impacted by a recovery in rates of return. Signs of stronger technical results were also observed. In the United States, the results of property and casualty insurance activities in the first half of 2018 were significantly higher than those of the previous year. The overall combined ratio was 96.7% in the first half, down more than 4 points from the previous year.

P & C underwriting profit in the US was approximately $6 billion. It was, combined with stronger investment results that resulted from an industry ROE of 8.8 %. In Canada, underwriting results were deteriorated during the first half due to weather-related losses.

Profitability in Europe remained stable in the first two quarters of 2018 compared to 2017. Disaster- related losses led to a rise in the combined ratio in Germany. At the same time, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom recorded gains thanks to better results in the automotive sector. In the global life insurance market, premium growth is estimated at 1.6% in 2018, which is slightly below the average annual growth rate of the last five years.

In the advanced markets, premiums have risen by about 1.7% while premium growth in emerging markets is likely to be much slower than usual. The contribution of emerging markets in accelerating the growth of global life insurance premiums is not

as significant as during the recent years, and for a good reason: China, which remains the driving force for growth in the life and health sectors, which is likely to experience a substantial -1.8% contraction in its life insurance premiums in 2018, as a result of stricter regulations.

Excluding China, growth in life insurance premiums in emerging markets is 5%. In terms of natural disasters, a study by the German reinsurer Munich Re estimates total losses in 2018 to be 160 billion dollars, a figure which remains far behind the 350 billions dollars recorded in 2017, but which is higher than the corrected average of inflation over the last 30 years which is 140 billion USD.

Insured losses are estimated at $80 billion and are well above the inflation-adjusted average of the last thirty years ($41 billion). However, they remain below the record level of 2017 (140 billion USD). The most costly natural disasters have occurred in the United States, including California. A forest fire generated $16.5 billion in overall losses and $12.5 billion in insured losses. For its part, Hurricane Michael caused an overall loss of $16 billion and $10 billion in insured losses. On the other hand, the persistent drought, which caused significant agricultural losses and forest fires, was the most expensive natural disaster on the European continent. Direct losses amounted to $3.9 billion...

...(€3.2 billion), of which only a small proportion has been insured.

Regarding the human toll, 10,400 people lost their lives in 2018 as a result of natural disasters. However, there has been a decrease from the average of 53,000 deaths recorded over the past 30 years. In 2018, the most deadly natural disaster was the seven- meter tsunami that struck the Indonesian city of Palu on September 28th following an earthquake. Thousands of buildings were destroyed and 210 people lost their lives.

National Market

The Moroccan insurance and reinsurance market recorded a premium volume of MAD 22.89 billion in the first half of 2018, with an increase of 10.3% compared to the same period of the previous year. The Life & Accumulation Division recorded a 17.2% increase, realizing a premium volume of MAD 9.51 billion against MAD 8.12 billion last year.

Non-life insurance, for its part, posted a growth rate of 5.9%, going from MAD 12.64 billion in the first half of 2017 to MAD 13.38 billion in the first half of 2018, driven mainly by an increase in the automotive branch of 5.8%, the latter represents 47.03% of total premiums in non-life insurance.

Reinsurance acceptances reached a premium volume of MAD 122.1 million compared to MAD 101.5 million in the first half of 2017, an increase of 20.30%. The company Wafa Assurance ranks first in terms of issues, with MAD 4.52 billion (against MAD 4.32 billion in June 2017, + 4.7%), or 19.7% of market share, followed by the company RMA WATANIA, which has a market share of 15% and MAD 3.44 billion of premiums written (against MAD 3.35 billion in the first half of 2017 + 2.6%), with Saham Assurance in third place with a market share of 12,1% and MAD 2.76 billion in revenue. Regarding the news of the insurance sector in 2018, and in the context of the Risk- Based Solvency project, ACAPS launched in July 2018 the first phase of quantitative impact studies with the collection of company data necessary to calculate parameters of the Solvency Capital Requirement formula and, on the other hand, the formulation of shock proposals to be applied for each type of risk.

The Pillar II of the circular is in the study phase. Regarding the Takaful Insurance Law, the draft law amendment is currently being approved by parliament.

On the other hand, FMSAR and ACAPS appealed to Grant Thornton to assist them with all the

accounting and tax aspects of this type of insurance. The implementing texts of the CRT and Decennial Insurance Act are also being validated. The sector has insisted on the obligation to produce the initial report of a control office before subscribing to an RCD contract.

With regard to the draft law on catastrophic events, all the implementing texts concerning it are being validated by the Treasury and External Finance Department. The general insurance circular for the introduction of the provisions of the accounting and financial system and the guarantee against the consequences of catastrophic events has been amended.

Life insurance companies have adopted the US extraterritorial law against FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) tax evasion. Deployment monitoring has been put in place. ACAPS has prepared a draft amendment to the circular on the AML / CFT mechanism, in line with FATF recommendations and feedback from the industry after 8 years of implementation, with the following key changes:

- Replacement of the threshold with an approach that takes into account client risk profiles, but also their size, the operations performed... ...by the company and the nature of the marketed products;

- Exclude personal injury insurance within the perimeter of the vigilance mechanism;

- Introduce the simplified vigilance system for property damage insurance;

- Strengthen accountability of the reporting entities network.

Regarding the system on approving insurance contracts, the deployment of preparatory steps to implement the draft instruction relating to Article 247 of Law No 17-99 on the Insurance Code is in progress. The same situation for the several other projects related to combating insurance frauds, particularly in the automotive sector.

ACAPS in partnership with GIZ, FMSAR and CNRA, has launched a study to design a national diagnosis for design inclusive insurance in Morocco.

As for mergers and acquisitions operated in the sector, the South African group SANLAM increased its stake in the capital of SAHAM group’s insurance subsidiaries to go from 46.6% to 100%.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018

International economyIn the face of an international context marked by strong uncertainties related in particular to trade tensions, the normalization of monetary policies, the outcome of Brexit and the weakening of confidence on the financial markets, global economic activity continued to show signs of shortness of breath. In 2018, global growth was estimated at 3.7% by the IMF, despite the rather weak results recorded by some countries, particularly in Europe and Asia.

In the United States, expansion continued to be supported by the positive trend in economic activity, which posted growth of 3% in the third quarter of 2018, after 2.9% a quarter earlier. In the euro area, data for the fourth quarter showed a further slowdown in growth, which stood at 1.2% against 1.6%, reflecting a deceleration from 1.3% to 0.9% in France, from 0.6% to 0.1% in Italy and a stagnation of 2.4% in Spain. In Germany, growth data remained similar to those of the third quarter and indicate a deceleration to 1.2% after 2%.

On the other hand, and despite the uncertainties surrounding the Brexit terms, the United Kingdom recorded a growth of 1.5% in the third quarter after 1.4%, reflecting the improvement in household consumption and foreign demand. In Japan, growth registered a significant decline to 0.1% after 1.4%, following weak private investment and net exports. In the main emerging economies, China›s growth slowed for the third time in a row, to 6.4% in the fourth quarter after 6.5%, impacted by the intensification of the trade dispute with the United States.

Data for the third quarter of 2018 showed a drop in growth in India to 6.9% against 8%, mainly due to a slowdown in consumer spending. Growth also slowed in Russia, falling from 1.9% to 1.5%, partly due to the sharp contraction in agricultural production. On the other hand, in Brazil, growth accelerated to 1.3% after 0.9%, thanks to a revival of investment and an increase in public spending.

At the same time, the situation on the labor market continues to be broadly favorable in the main advanced countries. In the United States, the

vigor continued in December 2018, job creation increased significantly from 176,000 to 312,000 positions, their highest level on 10 months. However, the unemployment rate rose from 3.7% to 3.9%, reflecting the increase in the participation rate to its highest level since September 2017, or 63.1%. In the euro area, the unemployment rate remained stable at 7.9% in December.

In the United Kingdom, data available for the month of October 2018 indicated a slight decrease in the unemployment rate from 4.1% to 4.0%. At the stock market level, unemployment has been negatively impacted by the partial closure of the US federal government since December 22, after the failure of dealings in Congress on the financing of a wall on the Mexican border wanted by President Trump. The major stock market indices of the advanced and emerging countries recorded, between November and December, declines amounting to 5.8% for the Dow Jones industrials, to 4.3% for the Eurostoxx 50, 3.7% for the FSTE 100 and 4.6% for the Nikkei 225.

In the emerging economies, the MSCI EM fell by 1.1%, including declines of 1.4% and 1.2% respectively for the China and Turkey indices and an increase of 2.7% for India. For their part, the bond markets benefited from the context of rising risk aversion, as sovereign bond yields fell overall. Thus, for the main European economies, apart from Greece where it stagnated at 5%, the 10-year rate fell to 0.3% for Germany, 0.7% for France, 1.4% for Spain and 1.7% for Portugal.

For its part, the rate of 10-year US Treasury bills decreased from November to December from 3.1% to 2.8%. For the major emerging economies, the 10-year bond yield rate fell to 8.8% for Brazil, to 3.3 percent for China, and to 7.4% for India. It increased slightly to 16.5% for Turkey.

On the currency markets, the euro was stabilized at $1.14 between November and December. However, it appreciated by 2% against the pound sterling and, on the contrary, depreciated by 0.9% against the Japanese yen. For their part, the currencies of the main emerging countries have evolved differently from the dollar. Thus, the Indian rupee

The insurance and reinsurance market

THE ECONOMIC CONTEXT

appreciated by 1.4%, the Brazilian real depreciated by 2.7%, while the Turkish lira and the Chinese yuan remained stable, respectively at 5.3 pounds and 6, 9 yuan for a dollar.

On inflation, Eurostat›s first estimate for the month of December showed a deceleration in the euro area from 1.9% to 1.6%, with declines from 2.2% to 1.7% in Germany, from 1.7% to 1.2% in Spain, 1.6% to 1.2% in Italy and 2.2% to 1.9% in France. For the other major advanced economies, inflation slowed in December from 2.2% to 1.9% in the United States, from 2.3% to 2.1% in the United Kingdom and 0.9% to 0.3% in Japan.

At the level of emerging countries, inflation fell in December from 2.2% to 1.9% in China, from 4% to 3.7% in Brazil and from 2.3% to 2.2% in India. In Russia, it accelerated from 3.8% to 4.2%.

National Economy For the third quarter of 2018, the results of the quarterly national accounts showed a slowdown in growth to 3% after 3.9% in the same period of the previous year. Agricultural value added grew by 3.8% instead of 15%, while non-agricultural activities increased by 3% instead of 2.5%.

Due to a drop in the growth rate of non-subsidy taxes from 3.5% to 1.9%, non-agricultural GDP rose 2.8% after 2.6%. At the sectoral level, the fishing sector saw a year-on-year increase with a value added of 6.8% in the third quarter, following a 3% decline in the same quarter a year earlier. Excluding the primary sector, the value added of the processing industries improved by 2.9% in the third quarter instead of by 2.2% a year earlier, driven by the good performance of the textile and leather, chemical and parachemistry and mechanical and metallurgical industries.

For construction, the sluggishness continued, with a limited increase in its value added of 0.7% against 1.4%. In the electricity business, activity accelerated in the third quarter with an increase in value added of 7.5% after 1.2%. In the mining sector, activity decelerated sharply in the third quarter with a limited increase in value added of 4% instead of 19.2% a year earlier. The most recent data show a decline of 4.9%, during the two months of October and November, of the commercial production of

phosphate and a 7.6% decrease, of its export by volume. On the demand side, final consumption of households rose by 3.8% in the third quarter of 2018, compared to 2.4% in the same period of the previous year, and that of the general government by 2.3% after 1.7%.

Investment was up to 6.5% instead of a 1.4% decline a year earlier. In total, domestic demand improved by 4.3% compared to 1.2% contributing 4.7 percentage points to growth instead of 1.3 percentage points. On the other hand, the participation of external demand in growth was negative at 1.7 points against a positive contribution of 2.6 points.

In the labor market, 2018 was marked by the creation of 112,000 jobs, after 86,000 in 2017. Taking into account a net entry of 64,000 jobseekers, the participation rate returned from 46,7% to 46.2% and the unemployment rate fell, as a result, from 10.2% to 9.8% nationally, from 14.7% to 14.2% in the cities and from 4% to 3.5% in rural areas. With regard to foreign trade, provisional data for 2018 indicated a widening of the trade deficit compared to 2017 from MAD 16.4 billion to MAD 205.6 billion. This trend reflects an increase of MAD 42.2 billion or 9.6% in imports, higher than that of MAD 25.9 billion or 10.4% of exports. The coverage rate went from 56.8% to 57.2%. The increase in imports concerned all product groups. The energy bill increased by 18.3% to MAD 82.2 billion. Imports of capital goods rose 9.5% to MAD 119.8 billion, related to aircraft acquisitions and other air or space vehicles. Similarly, acquisitions of finished consumer goods rose by 7.9% to MAD 108.1 billion, following a 19.5% increase to MAD 17.4 billion of purchases of “parts and pieces for passenger cars.

Food products increased by 7.7% to MAD 45.8 billion, in connection with the 9.8% increase in the quantities of imported wheat.

On the export side, the increase affected all major sectors. Sales of phosphates and derivatives rose by 17% to MAD 51.7 billion, those of the automotive industry rose 10.7% to MAD 65 billion.

For their part, exports of the agricultural and agri- food sector rose by 6.8% to MAD 58.1 billion, and those of aeronautics increased by 13.9% to 13.9 billion. Similarly, sales of “textiles and leather” rose 4% to MAD 38.5 billion. Under these conditions and

taking into account the trend of the other headings of the balance of payments, net international reserves fell by 4.1% compared to 2017 to 230.9 billion, representing the equivalent of 5 months and 4 days imports of goods and services.

Budget execution for 2018 showed a deficit of 41.4 billion dirhams, with an increase of 4.2 billion dirhams over 2017, and an exceeding of 8.1 billion dirhams compared to the 2018 budget law. Ordinary revenue improved by 1.8 percent to 259.8 billion.

Ordinary expenditure increased by 3.6% to 239.1 billion dirhams, mainly as a result of the 5.5% increase in expenditure on other goods and services, and the 15.6% increase of the compensation cost to 17.7 billion dirhams.

In the money market, the liquidity needs of banks eased in December 2018 to 69.9 billion dirhams on average, against 72.1 billion dirhams in November. In this context, the Bank reduced the volume of its advances to 7 days to 66 billions. Total outstanding amount of interventions amounted to MAD 69.4 billion.

In these conditions, the interbank rate stood at 2.28% on average, remaining close to the key rate. In the other markets, treasury bill rates did not change significantly in December 2018, both in the primary and secondary markets. At the same time, the rates of return for term deposits in December rose by 7 basis points to 2.80% for those at 6 months and 2 points to 3.04% for those at one year.

Taking into account the repayments, the outstanding amount of private debt stood at 166.8 billion dirhams, down to 6.1%. Regarding inflation, it fell from 1.3% in November to 0.1% in December.

For the whole of 2018, inflation stands at 1.9% against 0.7% in 2017.
