Exclusive Interview

Mr. Hussain Al Asousi Chairman

Takaful International, State of Kuwait

An exclusive

interview with

Mr. Hussain

Al Asousi

An observer of Takaful affairs clearlyobserves the continuous growth ofestablishing Takaful companiesthroughout the GCC countries. Manyeconomists see that the increase ofindividuals and organizations' insuranceawareness had made a qualitativeprogress in the insurance businessactivities as the region witnesses agrowth estimated by 16% in 2005compared to 4.3% worldwide. Nodoubt, there are several factors affectingthe Gulf experiment in the insurancemarket in general and Takaful inparticular such as GNP level improvementin most Gulf States. This is due to the riseof oil prices which resulted inconstruction boom extending fromOman's shores across UAE and Qatar tothe State of Kuwait in which insurancepremiums growth rate registered 24.5%in 2005 and in which the highest numberof Takaful companies operate.

In addition, the increase of insuranceawareness and availability of moderninsurance tools complying with thepeoples' beliefs and traditions hascontributed to the growth of Takafulindustry during the last ten years to arecord rate ranging from 15% to 20%. To highlight the future of Takafulindustry, success factors of Takafulcompanies entering the market and

projecting the future of Islamic insurancemarket, the editorial team interviewed anumber of insurance specialists to projectTakaful market components in thecoming years, new companies businessstrategies and future trends.

Editorial team hosted Mr. Hussain Al Asousi, Chairman of TakafulInternational Company, State of Kuwaitto talk about the new Company'sobjectives and his perspective of theKuwaiti Takaful market.

Insurance industry, in general, andTakaful, in particular, witnesses aqualitative boom especially in theGCC countries. In your opinion, whatare the reasons behind this boom andcan we contribute it to the increaseof individuals and organizations'insurance awareness?

The world market trend is an Islamictrend because of the increasing demandof Islamic products whether insurance,investment, finance or any othertransactions that contribute to theincreasing demand for such products,and hence drive investors into investingin this promising market by introducinginnovative products. This is primarily dueto various factors such as the availabilityof liquidity in the Gulf States, which

mainly results from the rise of oil pricesand the return of much Arab capital fromthe West and USA, especially after 9/11 events. On the other hand, the individuals' insurance awarenesswitnessed a qualitative boom because ofthe availability of alternative protectionthat meets their needs and requirementswithout any Shariah constraints. This results in the rising growth of Islamicinsurance market.

There are also a number of factorscontributing to preparing the suitableenvironment for the growth of Islamicinsurance. Many GCC states issuedlegislations and laws to organize theinsurance market in general and Takafulin particular. This has created a relativeassurance of capital owners to invest inestablishing Islamic companies andtherefore completing the Islamiceconomic system and creating theinsurance component to serve thecountry's growth in line with the Islamicbanks during the last two decades.

Hence, the above-mentioned factorshave contributed to creating a qualitativeboom of Islamic insurance, which isexpected to reach the same growth ratewithin the next ten years amounting to20% per annum.

The Kuwaiti market has recentlywitnessed the phenomena ofestablishing Takaful companies andmany economic analysts see that it isdue to the strength of Kuwait StockExchange Market. While achievingthe maximum returns on investmentsare on top of shareholders prioritiesupon establishing their companiesand then listing in the stock exchangeand stock trading, the focus oninsurance operations is not on top ofsuch companies' priorities. What isyour evaluation of such analysis andwhat is the Company's strategy in theKuwaiti market?

Regardless of the validity of such analysis,Takaful International Company isestablished to grow. Therefore, thestrategy on which the Company wasestablished is to expand this projectadopted by a number of Takafulinvestors on the regional and intern-ational levels as the Company will be asubsidiary of a holding company whoseregistered office will be located in DubaiFinancial Centre.

The Company shall benefit from thesuccess achieved by Takaful International- Bahrain in its capacity as the Company'stechnical consultant. Therefore, theCompany's strategic trends complement

the activities of a group of investors andthe Company has adopted strategies inline with the Group's long run strategies.Hence, we are at the point of talkingabout a clear vision that puts emphasison the operating processes on par withthe investment aspect.

Although the Islamic insurancemarket "Takaful" started a little latein the State of Kuwait, it is noticeablethat Kuwait occupies the firstposition in terms of number ofTakaful companies and therefore,competition is high among Takafulcompanies. What are TakafulInternational Company's successfactors to own a good share in theinsurance market?

There are a number of success factors. We greatly depend on the qualifiedadministrative elements such asexperienced personnel, and alliance withTakaful International Company, Bahrainwas fruitful in preparing high capacity re-insurance programs to stronglypenetrate into the Kuwaiti market. Our Company will not start from thescratch but it enjoys 17 years ofexperience and efforts to establish acomprehensive infrastructure that meetsthe market's continuous needs. In addition, we will introduce and market

innovative products in the Kuwaitimarket when we start our businessoperations. On the other hand, ourCompany shall provide captive business.

What are the products to beintroduced and what are the familyTakaful products within this list? How will you market such productsespecially since they are not availablein the Kuwaiti insurance market andnone of Shariah Supervisory Boardsof Takaful companies have approvedsuch products like other GCCcountries?

We think of introducing personal Takafulproducts that focus on individual familyTakaful and they are approved by ShariahSupervisory Board upon close co-operation between the Shariah Boardand insurance experts and specialists tointroduce such innovative products thatmeet the insurance needs on one handand are Shariah-compliant on the otherhand. Moreover, we have drawn anexpansion plan to market such products,which will make a qualitative progress inthe Kuwaiti market.

Do you see that the increase ofTakaful companies is a healthyphenomenon that can enrich theIslamic experiment in the insuranceindustry and complement the Islamiceconomic system initiated by theIslamic banks or it has negativeeffects in terms of competition whichmay make them lose heir ideologicalstrength as a Shariah-compliantinsurance protection? What do youprefer?

No doubt, the increase of Takafulcompanies is a healthy phenomenon forcompetition. This will, in turn, enrich theexperiment in terms of exerting moreefforts, innovation, development anduniqueness by introducing new productsthat comply with our tradition and beliefs and set new standards in Takafulindustry. In fact, I believe that Takafulindustry is an open market, which is the optimum field to introduce

state-of-the-art service and qualityperformance. Hence, there is no roomfor fear in Takaful InternationalCompany. We can take the instance ofthe Islamic banks, which operated inmarkets and were able to accommodatethemselves with the market position andthis has resulted in developing theirproducts and services to create a newbusiness activity in the market. The samething applies to Takaful companies as weare penetrating into a promising andhealthy market encouraging inventingnew services.

On the other hand, if we look at thecurrent Takaful and Re-Takafulcompanies, we see that TakafulCompanies Association unveiled that ithas 25 members. Hence, it is a reality andnot a special case. Moreover, new Re-Takaful companies have been establishedto meet the direct Takaful companiesneeds and consequently we are in theprocess of having a comprehensive

insurance system.

Takaful companies are obliged toinvest their funds in Shariah-compliant channels and this may limittheir revenues compared to theconventional insurance companies,which have open market. We have aneconomic problem in terms ofmeeting the investors' aspirationsand limitations Islamic investmentmarket and reduction of revenues. Inaddition, deficit of policy holdersfund, if any, will increase theinvestment risks in Takaful companiesand shareholders will be obliged togrant interest-free loan to meet thecompany's contracting obligations.What are your expectations from theCompany's investment returns andhow the Company will compete toachieve higher capital return?

I disagree with you with regard to thelimitations of Islamic investment

channels. Discovering new promisingopportunities is no longer panic. There isdiversity and several risks as we do notoperate independently but we have avision and open horizon. We areprimarily an Islamic investment groupand our strengths are derived from theGroup's companies and strategies areestablished in compliant with theGroup's investment policy, which hasachieved many achievements. Reviewingthe performance of such investmentcompanies will increase the investors'confidence in dealing with TakafulInternational Company. Moreover, theregion witnesses a promising Islamicinvestment trend.

To this point, we concluded our meetingwith Mr. Hussain Al Asousi, Chairman ofTakaful International Company, State ofKuwait, and we will have new interviewswith high-profile insurance experts in thecoming issues to get acquainted with thepromising Takaful future.

Takaful instead of Conventional (Commercial) Insurance

Due to the lack of understanding the thinking of Takaful andIslamic insurance which may result from the faulty or defectiveapplication in several experiments in addition to unsoundanalysis and understanding of basic commercial insuranceactivities practice, there is unjust criticism to Takaful and Islamicinsurance for the above-mentioned reasons

Takaful application originates frominherent, comprehensive, integrated andcoherent thinking and is based on soundShariah principles, which prohibit thecommercial contracts and permit Takafuland Islamic insurance instead. The aim ofthis thinking which reviews insurance in apositive manner and an useful andrequired economic industry is to avoidrisks and provide the financial protectionon Takaful basis.

It also explains the true scientific, logicaland Shariah which relies on co-operationand donation to achieve such goalaccording to the rules, mainly: insurer,insured, government and scientificmethodology in managing such risks. The sound and technical basis andpractice of insurance activity determinethe role each of such rules plays in theeconomy and this industry to make therelationships among the parties compl-iant with Shariah and Islam and to be fair to all parties.

The principle differences betweenTakaful and commercial insurance areapparent in the legal dimension ofinsurance practice. They may match inthe main inputs such as the financial,administrative and technical input andrisk management of this industry ingeneral. Moreover, they match in theirmain outputs, namely the financial

protection such as compensations, futurefinancial reserves, returns on invest-ments, savings and remunerations.However, Takaful is different from thecommercial insurance in terms of basisand roles, and hence the economicinputs and outputs and consequent legalduties and rights.

Takaful thinking sees the insured(subscriber) as a person who avoids risks,co-operates with other insured, a provider of financial protection bycontributing money and therefore he isan actual beneficiary of insurance fundsand though he donates such money, he is still the owner of such money. In thecommercial contract, the insured is abuyer of protection from the insurer bypaying insurance premiums andtherefore, he no longer becomes theowner of such money or a beneficiaryand the insurer has a legal obligation tocompensate him to the maximum moneyand wealth he owns under the insurancecontact entered into between the twoparties. This is definitely a mere claim oncontrary to the true application of thecommercial contract. It is established thatthe protection is provided based on theinsurance premiums paid by the insured.

We will complete this subject in the nextissue.

The late Dr. Hilal Al Shaiji with Mr. Younis J. Al Sayed

In Fond Memories

I express my heartfelt condolences at the demise

of my dear friend and a distinguishing

personality - Dr. Hilal Al Shaiji, whom I had

known for the last several years. I recall meeting

him last at the signing ceremony with Al Ahlia

University, providing them insurance coverage.

I cherish our youthful days when we were in

Kuwait together; sharing an accommodation,

to pursue our higher studies; I was doing my

degree and he was preparing for PH.D from

Al-Azhar University. I have always admired his

disting-uishing qualities; highly intellectual yet

simple, held top positions yet so humble.

In short, a great mentor in all aspects.

Few personalities leave behind an everlasting

impression which words can never express.

May his soul rest in peace.
