MEASUREMENT OF NON-LIFE INSURANCE SERVICES
Although there are differences, most models recognize that the
purpose of the productive activity of an insurance company is to obtain maximum profit by
planning the level of premiums collected from policyholders and income from investment

reserves. (...) The guidance for the preparation of national accounts defines the output of the
insurance industry as the value of services provided by insurance companies to
policyholders. Since insurance companies do not, as a rule, charge their customers directly
for insurance services, it is not possible to measure output directly. (...) Measuring non-life insurance output by class of insurance makes it possible to take
account of the differences between insurance products, as well as the composition of the
policyholder base. This allows a more accurate distribution of non-life insurance output
between final and intermediate consumption, as well as better compilation of the national
accounts by sector.

All these entities purchased war and terrorism insurance prior to 11 September 2001 and the scheme will return them to this position. All policyholders will pay a policy fee and premium charge, not just the airlines.
6. (...) A policy fee is payable by all policyholders (private insured parties) in addition to premium charges.
22. Will there be a “retention” amount (deductable for each policyholder)?
It will be up to the entity’s management to decide on policy for premiums, taking into consideration that deductibles are quite classical in insurance business.

In contrast to the conventional commercial insurance, the policyholders in Takaful share in the investment pool’s profits as well as its losses. (...) Takaful could also help promote financial inclusion and financial stability through providing Islamic finance for the poor and connecting finance with the real economy by sharing responsibility for investments between the Takaful operator and the policyholders.
Finally, a distinctive value of Islamic finance is a form of financial intermediation that cannot be divorced from wider ethical and moral codes.

PRICE AND VOLUME MEASURES OF INSURANCE SERVICES : INVITED PAPER / SUBMITTED BY FEDERAL STATISTICAL OFFICE OF GERMANY
But the experience of Triplett
and Bosworth (2000) was the following:” Although there are insurance companies with the word “mutual”
in their names, there is very little evidence that they act as cooperatives on behalf of the policyholders”. I
will come back to this point later.
7. (...) The intermediation approach fits mutual companies (as long as they
really act on behalf of their policyholders), the Ruggles-approach more to profit orientated stock
companies.

In Uganda and Malawi, some insurance providers issue smartcards to poor policyholders to confirm that they are who they say they are, and can instantly provide information on their level of coverage and whether the premium has been paid;
In the Philippines, insurers have minimized the transaction costs of collecting many small premiums by allowing people to pay via their mobile phones; and
In India, a barcode system is being tested as a way of managing client information. (...) And an insurer unable to reach large numbers of policyholders places itself in a precarious position.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL OF BUREAUX
In 2019, the CoB’s General Assembly decided to authorise National Insurers’
Bureaux, on a voluntary basis, to issue the International Motor Insurance Certificates (IMICs)
in black on white and allow the interested insurance markets inter alia to send PDF files
directly and electronically by e-mail or any other facility to their policyholder. Subsequently,
the policyholders can later print the IMIC in black on white in order to present it to the border
or police authorities of the visited country.
