Message from the Chairman<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> remainscommitted to the neverendingpursuit ofimprovements in order tofurther expand its searchfor ways to better serve itspolicyholders and to delivertechnology-driven andinnovative products andservices in line with society’schanging requirements.Esteemed shareholders:We have put behind us a year of exigencies that wasovershadowed by the events of 2008 with the hopethat we have at last reached the “exit” stage in theglobal economic crisis. With the third quarter of 2009it was to be observed that economic indicators aroundthe world had begun to recover albeit to markedlydifferent degrees.The recent crisis has transformed our perception ofcountry risk. Developing countries appear to haveemerged from the global crisis stronger than theywere when it began. The underlying scenario for theperiod ahead of us is shaped by the realization thatweak growth will prevail in the developed countrieswhile the developing countries will be the engines ofglobal growth and trade.Both the Turkish economy as a whole and its realsector in particular were also in decline. <strong>Never</strong>thelessthe participants in our battle-toughened financialsystem exhibited a strong stance in this volatileenvironment with a skill which was acquired as a resultof the lessons learned in previous crises and whichmay be summed up as “an ability to make the rightdecisions in times of emergency.”10<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009


Although the global insurance industry sufferedseriously as a whole, in Turkey the sector did notexperience any dramatic contractions and, on the faceof things, even appears to have registered marginalgrowth.It is a source of pride for us all at <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> toreport that we have emerged from such a tremendouscrisis with even greater strength. The sources of thatstrength are to be found in our company’s knowledgeand experience, in its corporate makeup, in itssteadfastness, and in its financial structure.We must never forget that the past is but prologue toour future. When <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> was established atAtatürk’s directives just two years after the founding ofthe Turkish Republic, it undertook the mission of beingthe sector’s trailblazer and school. The first nationallyownedinsurer in Turkey, <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong>’s formationwas spearheaded by İşbank with the aim of makingsure that the Turkish economy would grow on soundfoundations. Since then, our company has maintainedits premier position by being the first to reach andchart every landmark that the sector has passed. Thesingular position of <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> in the Turkishinsurance industry and the outstanding service that itprovides can be summed up in the unique one-wordtelegraph address that its headquarters used fordecades: imtiyaz (“privilege”).Acting in concert within the deep-rooted and robustgroup structure whose core consists of İşbank withindividuals whose efforts are spurred by theirpatriotism and by the conviction that the people oftheir country deserve a more prosperous future givesme both great pride and energy. With thesesentiments and thoughts, I repeat that we shallcontinue to strive with all our might to provide thepolicyholders that put their confidence in us with thebest protection possible while extending my gratitudeto all our employees and shareholders.SincerelyBurhan KaragözChairman of the Board of DirectorsHaving played a major role in the growth anddevelopment of its sector, <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> remainscommitted to the never-ending pursuit ofimprovements in order to further expand its search forways to better serve its policyholders and to delivertechnology-driven and innovative products andservices in line with society’s changing requirements.<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009 11


Message from the Chief Executive OfficerAchieved at a time whenthe effects of the globaleconomic crisis were beingseriously felt, such a risein premium production isan important indicationand reflection of <strong>Anadolu</strong><strong>Sigorta</strong>’s strength.2009 was not an easy year for the Turkishinsurance industry either.According to figures published by the Associationof Insurance and Reinsurance Companies of Turkey(TSRŞB), our sector’s premium production in 2009stood below the growth in 2008 with just a nominalgrowth.Insurance industry premium productioncontinued to decline worldwide during 2009.The effects of the global crisis made themselves feltin 2009 as well. 2008 marked the first year in whichthe global insurance industry experienced a genuinecontraction since 1980. The decline in premiumproduction persisted into 2009 as well.It is estimated that premiums in non-life brancheswere down more than 10% overall. Prices fell whenthe demand for insurance began to lag behind supplyin reaction to the economic downturn and this trendcontinued all year long. The result was stagnation ininsurers’ technical profits in 2009.To be sure, the life branch did perform fairly well butthe elementary branches were nowhere as successful.Non-life premium production in 2009 amounted toTL 10.6 billion, which corresponds to a year-on riseof just 4%, while life branch premium production bycomparison increased 15.6% during the same period.Overall growth however amounted to 5.6%, with atotal of TL 12.4 billion worth of premiums being takenin.In real terms, growth in the non-life branches was twoand a half points below the 6.53% twelve-month rise inconsumer prices as measured at year-end 2009.12<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009


The effects of the financial sector’s crisis combinedwith the insurance industry’s obstinate insistenceon competing solely on the basis of price createdmarket conditions that were completely inhospitablefor smaller insurers in terms of both production andequity. There was a serious cutback in the sector’stechnical profits even as loss ratios mounted in somebranches.Losses resulting from flash floods caused by heavyrainfall during the year and disastrous flooding inthe Marmara region in September generated thehighest claims (totaling TL 700 million) experiencedby the Turkish insurance market since the frightfulearthquakes of 1999.Changes in laws and regulationsstrengthening the sector’s legal frameworksignal positive future developments.As a result of intensive efforts by the TreasuryUndersecretariat, the Turkish insurance industry’sproblems with respect to its legal underpinningshave been largely resolved. With the introduction ofregulations that comply with EU norms, the industrynow has a legal framework that conforms to currentinternational standards and practices.New General Terms, Tariffs, and Instructions wereintroduced in 2009 for some types of insurance whilechanges were made in those of others. A clutch ofamendments to the Life Insurance Regulations wentinto effect as of 1 March 2009. Another importantdevelopment was the formation of the InsuranceArbitration Commission under article 30 of Statute5684, which sets up an arbitration system that providesfor the prompt and straightforward resolution ofdisputes arising under insurance contracts.<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> continued to register realgrowth in premium production.<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> increased its premium productionin 2009 about 7% to TL 1,243 million. Rises wererecorded in premium production levels in such majorbranches as fire, accident, engineering, health,agriculture, and catastrophe, with the highest amount(close to TL 420 million) being booked in the accidentbranch. Based on TSRŞB provisional figures, <strong>Anadolu</strong><strong>Sigorta</strong> controlled an 11.72% share of the overallmarket among elementary insurers.Achieved at a time when the effects of the globaleconomic crisis were being seriously felt, such a risein premium production is an important indication andreflection of <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong>’s strength. Our companydid not just survive but continued to grow duringthe crisis thanks in no small part to its investments ininfrastructure, human resources, and communication.These results are also important as clear evidence thatour sector has begun to shake off the effects of thecrisis.Our bancassurance unit was launched in2009.Thanks to the strong synergies generated by theformation of our bancassurance unit, we haveembarked upon a new period in which <strong>Anadolu</strong><strong>Sigorta</strong> will be able to maximize its communicationand relationships with all of its bank agents fromİşbank on down the line. Our bancassurance projectis part of the C2C Customer-Focused TransformationProgram that we launched last year in order to make<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> a more innovative and competitiveinsurer. By creating stronger and more productivechannels of communication through increasedintegration, this project will allow our company togenerate higher premiums and to deliver betterservice.<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009 13


Message from the Chief Executive Officer<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> continuesto lead the Turkishinsurance industry withinnovative practices andsolutions that set thestandards that its sectoraspires to.Developing new products to expand ourmarket<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> believes that the key to growth anddevelopment in the insurance industry lies in enlargingthe breadth and depth of its overall market. Takingthis as our point of departure, we constantly seekto extend our innovative strengths and to introducenew products to the market and improve ourservice quality through the effective use of the latesttechnology.In 2009 <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> once again demonstratedthat it was the sector’s most active company in termsof new products introduced to the market. Thelaunching of such products at a time when the effectsof the global economic crisis were still being felt hada favorable impact on our premium production whilebringing new dynamics to the sector. Products like theSME Package Policy, Credit Card Protection Policy,Comprehensive Motor Vehicle Policy, and HomeownerPolicy make it possible for <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> to addressthe insurance needs of many different individuals andgroups.Addressing SMEs’ greater insurance needsin a crisis environmentSmall and medium-sized enterprises (SME) generatea huge amount of value for our national economybut are among the businesses that are most at risk intimes of economic crisis. For them <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong>has introduced its “SME Package Policy”, which isbased on our analysis of the needs of such firms. Webelieve that with this product we will be contributingindirectly to our country’s economic development byexpanding SMEs’ export capacities and increasingtheir competitive strength.Individualized motor vehicle insuranceIn 2009 <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> rewrote its motor vehicleinsurance tariff as part of its overall efforts to improveits policyholder service quality and to be innovative inits service approach. Under the new tariff, which wentinto effect at the beginning of 2010, premiums are nolonger determined according to generalized segmentsbut rather are set on the basis of a policyholder’sindividual attributes and risks. This new tariff will makeit possible to quote and charge premiums that aremuch more realistic because they actually reflect apolicyholder’s individual risks.When preparing our new motor vehicle insurancetariff, we employed internationally accepted insurancetechniques while formulating comprehensive modelsusing advanced software and data bases containingmillions of entries.14<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009


Turkey’s most admired and best knowninsurerAccording to a brand recognition survey conductedby GfK, Germany’s biggest market research institute,<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> is the most admired and best knowninsurer in Turkey. In our opinion this result is a naturaloutcome of the levels of strength, reliability, andsatisfaction for which we are known among our targetgroups, customers, and delivery channels and it isproof to us that we have been successful in our effortsto create more value for all of our stakeholders.Lloyd’s List “Maritime Service” and “CrystalApple” awards for <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong><strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> continues to lead the Turkishinsurance industry with innovative practices andsolutions that set the standards that its sector aspiresto. In 2009 our company gave even greater attentionto the shipping sector than in previous years whilecontinuing to write all cargo insurance as well as hulland contingent liability insurance policies for theshipping branch.<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong>’s contributions to the Turkishshipping industry were acknowledged with theCompany’s recognition in the “Maritime ServiceAward” category of the Lloyd’s List “2009 TurkishShipping Awards” for “excellence and innovation inmaritime support services provided by a Turkish ornon-Turkish company, organization or other entitywhich has demonstrated outstanding service to theTurkish shipping industry”.In 2009 <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> was also the recipient ofawards in many different categories from the TurkishAssociation of Advertising Agencies, whose “CrystalApple” is regarded as the “Oscar” of the Turkishadvertising industry. At last year’s ceremony <strong>Anadolu</strong><strong>Sigorta</strong> walked away with the most awards havingreceived four Crystal Apples along with three secondplace and one third place citations.The way forwardSteadily increasing signals that the contraction in theglobal economy is slowing down and their impact onour country’s national markets make it more and morelikely that the process of emerging from the crisis willwork its way out in 2010.Expectations are that real growth in the insuranceindustry will resume some time during the secondhalf of 2010. The issues of productivity, risk selection,and pricing that became crucial because of the crisiswill lose little–if any–of their importance in the nearterm. For this reason, our primary objective for theforeseeable future must be to continue competingfairly on price and improving the quality of ourservice in recognition of the fact that sustainable andadequate technical profitability is at least as importantand precious as premium production.In all events however we are determined to maintainour successful performance as <strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> in 2010and to remain on course with our strategy of steadygrowth.In closing I extend my thanks to all my colleaguesin service, to those at İşbank, and to all our agents,business partners, and policyholders for all the effortsthat have contributed to the success of the <strong>Anadolu</strong><strong>Sigorta</strong> family.Sincerely,Mustafa SuChief Executive Officer<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009 15


2009 Economic and Sectoral OverviewThe World EconomyThe impact of the crisis that began in developedcountries’ financial markets and spread throughoutthe world as it grew deeper in the last quarter of2008 began to lose effect in the third quarter of 2009in part due to the monetary and financial measuresbeing taken. The financial markets of both developedand developing countries embarked upon a processof recovery much more quickly than had beenanticipated. There were noteworthy improvementsobserved both in the developed countries’ productionindicators and in overall world trade.Recession ends in the United StatesWhile the US Federal Reserve is expected to keep itsshort-term interest rates (held in the 0-0.025% bandsince December 2008) at existing levels for sometime yet, the positive effects of the fiscal stimuluspackage that the Fed unveiled in the first quarter ofthe year can already be seen. There is renewed vigorin private consumption expenditures associated withautomotive and housing sales. Located at groundzero of the global economic crisis, the US economyregistered a 3.5% rate of growth in the third quarter of2009 for the first time in twelve months while growthin the fourth quarter also exceeded expectations.Indeed the Q4 5.7% growth that was announced is thehighest witnessed since Q3 2003. Although there aresome concerns that high unemployment (on the orderof 9.8%) may put a damper on rises in consumptionoutlays and that the progress of economic activitymay remain weak for some time yet, the fiscal andmonetary measures that have been taken appear tohave been remarkably effective in supporting therecovery. With recession (defined as at least twoconsecutive quarters of down GDP) technically over inthe US economy, growth is now expected to continuein 2010.Eurozone improvements more sluggishThe European Central Bank (ECB) lowered its shortterminterest rates from 2.5% at the end of 2008 ina series of cuts to 1% (their lowest level ever) during2009. It is expected that improvements in Eurozoneeconomies will continue and that growth will beThe impact of the crisisthat grew deeper in thelast quarter of 2008 beganto lose effect in the thirdquarter of 2009 in partdue to the monetary andfinancial measures beingtaken.supported by near-term rises in exports once stabilityis restored. Although the most recent developmentsappear to have reduced risks relatively speaking, anysudden, rapid rise in oil or commodity prices couldeasily provoke uncertainties among economic actors.It is thought that inflation, which has been in decline,could resume rising once again in the period aheadwith the elimination of base-year effects. Althoughthe increase may be expected to exceed 2%, thatis contingent upon domestic demand remainingweak. Unemployment remained high in the Eurozonethroughout the year and in the fourth quarter itsurpassed expectations by reaching the 10% level.Bank of Japan policies remain prudentExtending its implementation of measures aimedat supplying the private sector with liquidity untilthe end of 2009, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) left itsshort-term interest rates unchanged at the 0.1%level to which it had most recently lowered them inDecember 2008. It appears that the deterioration inthe Japanese economy has ended, that public sectorinvestments are on the rise, and that both productionand exports are gaining momentum but that privateconsumption outlays remain weak as a result of higherunemployment and lower income levels. The declinein inflation is likely to slow down as economic recoverytakes hold in the period ahead.16<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009


Growth continues at high levels in ChinaWorries that recession among China’s trading partnersmight throttle the world’s second biggest economyprompted the People’s Bank of China (PBC) to unveila gigantic USD 586 billion incentives package thatappears to have succeeded in maintaining a high levelof growth in that country during 2009. It is expectedthat efforts will be made to keep this growth fromfalling below 8%, which is seen as the minimumthat is necessary to meet 2009 targets, to keepunemployment in check, and to pre-empt politicaltensions on the domestic front. Even as it protectsthe Chinese economy from the effects of the globaleconomic crisis however, this package is not withoutits critics. Specifically there are dire warnings that,by focusing particularly on construction projects, itsincentives could cause China’s chronic over-capacityproblem to become even worse.USD remains weak throughout the yearIn the face of the measures that were taken to dealwith the global downturn in the United States, the USdollar gained rapidly in value during 2008, particularlyat the expense of the euro due to concerns that aperceived inability to take quick, concerted in theEurozone would result in its economies sufferingmore from a global recession. As more encouragingnumbers started coming in from the economic fronthowever, investors became increasingly less riskaversewith the result that the dollar remained weakthroughout most of 2009.Buffeted by expectations about global financialmarkets movements, by changes in global riskperceptions, and by pronouncements, the dollar’sparity followed an erratic course against leadingcurrencies.The EUR/USD parity peaked at 1.5139 during 2009only to subside and end the year at the 1.4316 level.2008 2009 (E) 2010 (P)Growth (%)Global 3.0 -1.1 3.1USA 0.4 -2.7 1.5Eurozone 0.7 -4.2 0.3Japan -0.7 -5.4 1.7China 9.0 8.5 9.0Turkey 0.9 -6.5 3.7Developing Countries 6.0 1.7 5.1Inflation (%)USA 3.8 -0.4 1.7Eurozone 3.3 0.3 0.8Japan 1.4 -1.1 -0.8China 5.9 -0.1 0.6Turkey 10.4 6.2 6.8Developing Countries 9.3 5.5 4.9Source: IMF World Economic Outlook, October 2009(E): Estimation (P): Projection<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 200917


2009 Economic and Sectoral OverviewIn its World EconomicOutlook, the IMF revisedits global economic growthprojections, saying thatit now expected a 1.1%contraction in 2009 but a3.1% growth rate in 2010.Global interest rates stay depressed during2009.Short-term interest rates at end-2009 were at the0-0.25% level in the US, 1.00% in the Eurozone, and0.10% in Japan.A surge in oil prices may be the offingThe spot price of a barrel of Brent crude, which wasbelow USD 40 at the end of 2008, surged in 2009reaching the USD 78.80 level–the highest in a year–inOctober. This rise was driven as much by signalsof recovery in the global economy as by increasesin other commodity prices and by EUR/USD paritymovements. By the end of the year the spot price hadedged down slightly to USD 77.70.The need for a soft transition in crisis exitstrategiesBoth modest improvements in economic indicatorsand restored stability in financial markets haveprompted debates over what strategies shouldbe employed when winding up the extraordinarymonetary and fiscal measures that have been takenduring the crisis. Even while there will inevitablybe differences from country to country, there is aconsensus that exit strategies must incorporate a“soft” transition as they move away from existingpolicies, that countries need to coordinate thisprocess, and that it is very important to remainfocused on strong and sustainable growth in theglobal economy. However just as abandoningsupportive fiscal and monetary policies withoutachieving long-term improvements in economicactivity or stability in financial markets may thwartgrowth, adhering to them for too long could easilyraise concerns about public sector debt levels andserviceability.Furthermore decisions on the part of monetaryauthorities to hold the line on interest rates athistorically low levels and to keep markets suppliedwith liquidity began to trigger significant rises infinancial asset and house prices throughout the worldin the second half of the year. This creates worriesabout new speculative bubbles in which asset pricescut free of their economic anchors once again take off.And in the last quarter of 2009…When balance sheet figures announced by many firms,particularly in the US, revealed results much betterthan had been expected, investors’ appetite for risksurged and there were rapid rises in stock exchangesaround the world. This situation had a favorableimpact on developing countries’ economies too. Manysuch countries became the targets of strong capitalinflows which not only caused their local currencies toappreciate but which also sent their stock markets onupward trends.Worries that the global economy is at risk ofencountering a “double-dip” recession are nowbeing voiced with increasingly less frequency. In itsOctober World Economic Outlook, the IMF revisedits global economic growth projections, saying thatit now expected a 1.1% contraction in 2009 but a3.1% growth rate in 2010. In the case of developingcountries, which grew an average 6% in 2008, growthshould be around 1.7% in 2009 but nearly three timesthat (5.1%) in 2010.18<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009


2009 Economic and Sectoral OverviewMedium-term programIn the medium-term program announced by thegovernment for the years 2010-2012, it is stated thatemphasis will be given to economic policies to achievelasting increases in production, investment, andexports. At the same time, it is also said that the aim isfor the private sector to lead the way out of the crisisand during the post-crisis growth process. Foremostamong the measures that the government is to take isa changeover to the so-called “golden rule” of fiscalpolicy whose aim is to ensure that the ratio of publicsector debt to national income remains sustainableover the medium and long terms. A legal frameworkincorporating this guideline is supposed to be set inplace no later than the first quarter of 2010.According to the medium-term program, thegovernment has set GDP growth-rate targets of 3.5%,4%, and 5% for 2010, 2011, and 2012 respectively.(The program also posits a net 6% contractionin GDP in 2009.) Only modest improvements inunemployment rates are foreseen as taking place in2010 and 2011. A number of revisions are made in2009 budget performance projections with the deficitnow expected to weigh in at TL 62.8 billion (6.6% ofGDP) and the non-interest deficit (NID) at TL 20.8billion (2.2% of GDP). In its program, the governmentalso calls for NID/GDP ratios of 0.8% in 2010 and of0.2% in 2011 and says that it expects that there will bea non-interest surplus equal to 0.4% of GDP in 2012.Inflation subsides in line with global trendsIn the wake of the crisis there was a markedcontraction in total demand brought on by a clearcutback in economic activity resulting as much froman increasing propensity to save as from rapidlyshrinking external demand and tighter money. Whencombined with sharp declines in commodity prices,this led to a rapid drop in inflation rates everywherein the world, including Turkey. This trend manifestedconsiderable variation however. In categories that aredirectly affected by commodity price movements suchas energy and processed foods for example, therewas a sharp decline in inflation whereas in the case ofbasic goods and services whose prices are particularlysusceptible to changes in demand, prices continuedto rise albeit rather more slowly. Although changes insome tax rates with the intention of bringing publicfinances into balance in the third quarter exertedupward pressure on prices, twelve-month rises inconsumer prices continued to slip in line with theoverall downward trend.Factors influencing the underlying inflationary trendin the last quarter of 2009 conformed essentially tothe outlook presented in the Central Bank’s Octoberinflation report. Both domestic and external demandcontinued to recover modestly as foreseen whileeconomic resource utilization levels remained low.<strong>Never</strong>theless unprocessed food prices shot up quiteunexpectedly registering the highest rates of increasewitnessed in recent years with the result that yearendinflation in 2009 ended up a whole percentagepoint higher than the target. On other fronts, rises inoil and other commodity prices and the resumptionof normal advance tax rates (which had been cut tosupport economic activity) also contributed to greaterinflationary pressure during this period. The upshot ofall these developments is that annualized last-quarterinflation went from 5.27% to 6.53% in 2009.Improvements expected in foreign tradeAlthough there were hopes that recovery in Eurozoneeconomies would have a favorable impact on ourcountry’s exports, the actual results were mixed.Exports in October 2009 were up 3.9% compared withthe same period a year earlier but reversed themselvesand dropped 5.2% in November.According to twelve-month figures for 2009, theforeign trade balance was down 53.4% compared withthe previous year and showed a deficit amounting toUSD 24,729 million.Comparing twelve-month figures from 2009 and 2008on the basis of individual categories, CIF imports(including gold) amounted to USD 140,776 million(down 30.3%) and FOB export revenues to USD102,165 million (down 22.6%). Even unregisteredearnings from the so-called “shuttle trade” arethought to have declined 22.9% to USD 4,783 million.20<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009


The current account deficit continues togrowCutbacks in both consumption and investmentbrought on by the global economic crisis led to lowerenergy prices which resulted in a substantial declinein Turkey’s current account deficit in the last quarterof 2008. The crisis also appears to have altered themakeup of the deficit as well. In August 2008 thecountry’s 12-month current account deficit peakedat USD 49.1 billion. Beginning in October, when theimpact of the global crisis on internal and externaldemand started to make itself felt, there was a rapiddecline in the deficit that did not reverse itself untilit bottomed out at USD 11.8 billion in October 2009.On a year-to-year basis, the current account deficitwas down 67%, going from USD 41.9 billion in 2008 toUSD 13.9 billion in 2009.In the period ahead, developments that help reducecountry risk, Turkey’s growth potential, restoringdiscipline in public finances, keeping inflation incheck, making continued improvements in countryratings as most recently announced, and signing anagreement with the IMF will all be important to thefinancing of the current account deficit insofar asthey rejuvenate both foreign direct and short-termportfolio investment in our country.The huge deficit that looms on the budgethorizonThe national budget deficit, which amounted to TL17.4 billion in 2008, reached TL 52.2 billion in 2009despite some improvements in performance inDecember. During the same period the non-interestsurplus all but dried up, going from TL 33.2 billion toTL 986 million. Centralized administration budgetaryoutlays in 2009 amounted to TL 267 billion while therewere TL 214 billion worth of non-interest expenses.Budget revenues weighed in at TL 215 billion.Two factors in particular are contributing adverselyto budget performance: a persistent rise in noninterestexpenses on the one hand and the perniciouseffect that the contraction in economic activity hason tax revenues on the other. Expectations thateconomic recovery is going to be gradual precludethe likelihood of any quick-fix rises in tax revenues inthe near term. At the same time, the fact that growthin non-interest expenses stems largely from health,pension, and social welfare outlays only underscoresthe need for urgent structural reforms in such areas.CBT keeps the lid on interest ratesthroughout 2009Having first lowered interest rates in November 2008,the Central Bank of Turkey (CBT) Monetary PolicyBoard continued to do so throughout 2009. At theboard’s last meeting on November 19th of the year,the overnight borrowing rate was reduced 25 basispoints to 6.50% while the lending rate was lowered to9%. While both actions were in line with expectations,the board also signaled it had reached the end of theroad insofar as its curtailment of interest rates wasconcerned.A rousing performance at ISEPositive indications of growth emanating from theUSA, China, and India had a favorable impact on mostequity markets. When a surprise increase in domesticindustrial output and improved country rating wereadded to this encouragement from abroad, the ISE100 index at the İstanbul Stock Exchange shot up16.48% in December.Trading at the İstanbul Stock Exchange paralleleddevelopments in international asset markets for themost part during 2009. The ISE National 100 indexclosed the year at 52,825 points, 97% higher than its26,864 level twelve months earlier.<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009 21

An Overview of the Global and Turkish Insurance Industries, and FutureOutlookThe Global Insurance IndustryThe effects of the global economic crisis continued tomake themselves felt on the sector throughout 2008.Although companies made high underwriting profits,they experienced sharp declines in the returns on theirinvestment: indeed some even booked net losses onthem. When economic conditions slowly began torecover in 2009, developments in insurers’ investmentincome also began to return to normal.The global insurance industry experienced a realcontraction in 2008–the first such since 1980–withwritten premium down 3.7% on a year-to-year basis.A large part of that shortfall stemmed from the lifeinsurance, with premiums there off by 5.8%. Theshrinkage in non-life insurance was 0.6%, which wasthe result as much of weak demand as it was ofsoftening premium rates. Worldwide written premiumamounted to USD 4,217 billion, of which USD 2,436billion was from life insurance and USD 1,781 billionwas from non-life insurance.In 2008, among the industrialized nations, non-lifewritten premium was down 1.6% with such countriescontributing an 86.4% share of the total. Among thedeveloping countries, which contributed 13.6% ofworldwide written premium, the year-to-year rise was7.1%.In the Americas, which together make up the world’sbiggest market for non-life insurance, written premiumwas down 2.1% in 2008 overall but this figure masksan 8.8% increase in Latin America countered by a3% decline in North America. In Europe, the overallrise in written premium was 0.2% but again therewas considerable regional variation: a 0.4% declinein Western Europe but a 5.9% rise in Central andEastern Europe. In Japan and India, written premiumwas down 3.5% and 1.6% respectively but up 14.8% inChina, whose performance essentially made possiblethe overall 2.2% written premium increase registeredamong Asian countries.On the basis of available evidence it appears that thedecline in overall written premium continued in 2009and that non-life insurance premiums were droppedThe global insuranceindustry experienced a realcontraction in 2008–thefirst such since 1980–withwritten premium down3.7% on a year-to-yearbasis.by 11.2%. Premium rates fell when the demand forinsurance began to lag behind supply in reaction tothe economic downturn and this trend continuedall year long. The result was stagnation in insurers’technical profits in 2009.Expectations are however that such trends will reversethemselves in 2010 and that demand will pick uponce again. That, combined with a resumption ininvestment returns, is what underlies the belief thatthe global insurance industry will witness greaterprofitability in 2010.In 2008 USD 50 billion worth of damages caused bynatural disasters were paid out, making it one of themost expensive years experienced by the insurancesector in its history. Most companies managed tocover such high losses by having recourse to theircapital, except a number of American and Europeaninsurers who found it necessary to ask for governmentsupport in order to survive.2009 was a relatively lucky year from the standpoint ofnatural disasters. Total catastrophe losses and insuredlosses last year are estimated at around USD 52 billionand USD 24 billion respectively. The 52% declinein insured losses in 2009 is largely attributable to arelatively calm hurricane season in the United States.Indeed Europe was the continent that suffered themost from catastrophe losses last year. Insurers had topay out about USD 3.5 billion in damages as a resultof Klaus, a winter storm that hit southern France and<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009 23


An Overview of the Global and Turkish Insurance Industries, and Future OutlookAlthough the Turkishinsurance industry’s lifebranch performed ratherwell in 2009, the samecannot be said for the nonlifebranches.northern Spain in January and was the biggest sourceof the sector’s losses. Hailstorms in Switzerland andAustria in June generated losses amounting to USD1.25 billion while brushfires in Australia caused anotherbillion dollars’ worth of insured losses. Despitesuch spectacular and high-profile events however,worldwide losses from natural disasters were lesscostly in 2009 than in previous years.However this should not be a cause for optimism.Catastrophe losses have been on the rise over the lasttwo decades and according to scientists we are nowlikely to experience much greater variation from yearto year than in the past. Some years, like 2009, will berelatively calm; others will not.Although reinsurers were seriously affected bythe global economic crisis, for the most part theycontinued to support insurers during 2009. Despiteindications that the economic downturn has begunto end, the reinsurance sector’s capital formationincreased only 8% in the first half-year of 2008 whereasit declined 15% in 2008. That being the case, it isclearly much too early to say that the problem ofcapital impairment brought on by the economic crisisis behind us. This view is supported by the “negative”outlook which Fitch, one of the world’s foremostcredit-rating agencies, assigned in its 2009-2010report on developments and prospects in the globalreinsurance market.The United Nations Climate Change Conferenceheld in Copenhagen on 7-18 December 2009 wasan event to which the global insurance industry paidparticular attention. The “Copenhagen Accord”which was signed at the conclusion of the conferenceand which, it had been hoped, would provide foreffective and radical measures as a successor to theKyoto Protocol, turned out to be a disappointmentboth for environmentally aware individuals and for aninsurance sector confronted by increasingly greaterlosses attributable to climate change. <strong>Never</strong>thelessthe accord does go on record by acknowledging thereality of global warming and the need to reduceemissions so the conference was not a completefailure. What is needed now is for individuals andorganizations–including those in the insuranceindustry–to take action so as to make the decisionsreached in Copenhagen more effective and binding.The Turkish Insurance IndustryAlthough the Turkish insurance industry’s life branchperformed rather well in 2009, the same cannotbe said for the non-life branches. Like the rest ofthe world, the sector suffered from the effects ofthe global economic crisis to which were addedsubstantial losses caused by disastrous floods in thethird quarter of the year. Total premium productionin all non-life branches in 2009 was up 4% yearonand reached TL 10.6 billion in value. Duringthe same period however, premium production inthe life branch rose 15.6% and it was this superiorperformance that boosted the sector’s overallpremium production 5.6% to TL 12.4 billion.Given the twelve-month 6.53% rise in consumer priceslast year however, it becomes clear that the non-lifebranches’ performance actually corresponds to a 2.4%decline when the effects of inflation are taken intoaccount. It is expected that the contraction will reverseitself gradually as economic activity picks up again inthe period ahead.24<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009


Since the beginning of 2009, insurers have beenrequired to publish consolidated financial statementsthat conform to prescribed standards set forth ina government communique concerning insurance,reinsurance, and pension companies that wasannounced in issue 27097 of the official gazette on 31December 2008.One other outcome of the global economic crisis in2009 was that major international insurers showedrather less interest in the Turkish insurance industrythan they had been in the habit of doing in previousyears. Vakıfbank, which had decided to sell stakes intwo firms–Güneş <strong>Sigorta</strong> (general) and Vakıf Emeklilik(life and pensions)–changed its mind in 2009. Anotherpension company, OYAK Emeklilik, which was sold toHolland-based ING, was reorganized under the nameof ING Emeklilik while Koç Allianz, all of whose shareswere bought up by Allianz last year, was recast simplyas “Allianz”.In what amounts to the deregulation of compulsorymotor vehicle financial liability insurance tariffs, in 2009the Treasury Undersecretariat raised the upper limit onapproved tariffs from +20% to +100%. Along with thisdevelopment, the Insurance Arbitration Commissionwas launched. Forty-four insurance companies havejoined the new system, which provides a mechanismfor resolving disagreements between service providersand consumers without there having to be recourse tolitigation.In a progress report concerning Turkey that waspublished on 14 October 2009 by the EuropeanCommission, it is noted that some progress hadbeen made in the areas detailed above after whichthe commission stated that while Turkey had largelysatisfied requirements with respect to financial marketinfrastructure, its compliance in the area of insurancewas still limited. The report also said that safeguardsand auditing standards in the banking and nonbankingfinancial sectors had not been strengthenedand that there still had been no progress in theestablishment of an independent regulatory andsupervisory agency for the insurance and privatepension sectors.Branches2008 PremiumProduction (TL) Share (%)2009 PremiumProduction (TL) Share (%)Change(%)Fire 1,596,779,129 13.56 1,670,810,100 13.44 4.6TCIP 272,824,680 2.32 322,611,823 2.59 18.2Marine 413,600,680 3.51 374,352,036 3.01 -9.5Accident 3,330,869,729 28.28 3,237,041,576 26.03 -2.8Motor Third Party Liability 2,062,285,307 17.51 2,249,245,391 18.09 9.1Engineering 535,217,981 4.54 623,890,949 5.02 16.6Agriculture 125,111,095 1.06 151,119,652 1.22 20.8Health 1,326,125,506 11.26 1,415,189,392 11.38 6.7Legal Protection 32,412,600 0.28 36,028,946 0.29 11.2Personal Accident 467,501,881 3.97 505,591,674 4.07 8.1Credit 40,944,611 0.35 28,436,157 0.23 -30.5Non-Life Total 10,203,673,200 86.6 10,614,317,698 85.35 4.0Life 1,576,208,875 13.4 1,821,653,559 14.65 15.6Grand Total 11,779,882,075 100 12,435,971,258 100 5.6<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009 25

<strong>Anadolu</strong> Anonim Türk <strong>Sigorta</strong> ŞirketiBoard of Directors Report SummaryDear Shareholders,Before presenting the 2009 balance sheet and income statement covering the Company’s 84th year of operationfor your reviews and comments, we deem it useful to recap the changes and developments in economic life andthe insurance sector.The impact of the crisis that extended its reach to the whole world from the last quarter of 2008 upon financialmarkets started to wear-off from the third quarter of 2009. 3% in 2008, the global growth figure is anticipatedto drop to 1.1% for 2009 and projected to rise back to 3.1% in 2010. The US economy, which stood at the heartof the global crisis, achieved growth for the first time in the past one year in the third quarter of 2009, whilethe world’s second biggest economy China maintained its high growth percentages in 2009 on the back of theincentive packages introduced. In 2009, emerging countries are expected to outdo the world average and attaina growth level of 1.7%. With the measures adopted and interventions made across the world, the recession cameto an end and global economy thinned down the uncertainties towards the end of last year. Yet, a full recoveryof the global economy will probably take a while due to the fact that the measures adopted by governmentsand central banks are temporary, stringent financial conditions are still ongoing in many countries, and therecuperation in household savings is slow.While the Turkish economy narrowed down by 14.3% year-on in the first quarter of 2009, the shrinkage was downto 7% in the second quarter and dropped to 3.3% in the third quarter.In the Inflation Report published in January 2009, the Central Bank of Turkey (CBT) forecasted a rapid fall ininflation in the first half of the year and estimated that the inflation would be below the target at the end ofthe year; in this frame, the CBRT pursued a series of policy rate cuts. In 2009, the inflation markedly decreasedcompared to the previous year and stood at 6.5%. On the other hand, the uncertainties regarding the impact ofglobal crisis upon total demand and the unpredictable movements in oil and food prices throughout the yeardrove the inflation upward.The worldwide insurance sector suffered shrinkage in real terms in 2008, for the first time since 1980, andpremium production decreased by 3.7% year-on. The decrease was largely due to the life branch, which slimmeddown by 5.8%, whereas premiums on non-life branches were reduced by 0.6% as a result of the declined demandfor insurance, coupled with lower prices.The insurance sector in Turkey performed well in life branch in 2009 but failed to repeat this achievement in nonlifebranches. First hit by the financial crisis that dominated the whole world, the sector took another major blowfrom the flood that occurred in the third quarter of the year. Total premium production on non-life branches grew4% and rose to TL 10,614 million in the twelve months to end-2009. Life branch expanded by 15.6% in the sameperiod, bringing the overall growth in the sector to 5.6% and total premium production to TL 12,436 million.Owing to the effect of the global crisis as well, foreign interest in the national insurance sector weakened in 2009compared with the previous years. Having decided to sell its shares in Güneş <strong>Sigorta</strong> and Vakıf Hayat, Vakıfbankannounced the change of intentions in 2009. Sold to Holland-based ING, Oyak Hayat started pursuing activitiesunder the name ING Hayat in 2009, while Koç Allianz, whose shares were sold in their entirety to Allianz, startedoperating under the name Allianz last year.In 2009, the Undersecretariat of Treasury increased the upper limit from +20% to +100% of approved tariffs withrespect to the freedom of tariff in compulsory motor third party liability insurance. In addition, the InsuranceArbitration Commission became functional and 44 insurance companies joined the new arbitration mechanismcreated for resolving conflicts between consumers and service providers, using methods without resorting tolitigation.Pursuant to the Communiqué on Drawing-up Consolidated Financial Statements of Insurance, Reinsurance andPension Companies published in the Official Gazette issue 27097 dated 31 December 2008, our company startedemploying the equity method in consolidating <strong>Anadolu</strong> Hayat Emeklilik A.Ş., in which our Company holds 20%stake, starting from 31 March 2009.56<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009

Insurance companies are also required to provide unexpiredrisk reserves if unearned premium reserve is inadequate for the Company’s risks and estimated expenses. Inaccordance with the Decree, insurance companies should apply an adequacy test covering the last 12 months foreach period for the possibility of exceeding claim compensations from existing insurance contracts against theunearned premium reserves provided for these contracts.The related Decree, which was published in the Official Gazette No: 26674 on 18 October 2007, requires themultiplication of unearned premium reserves by the estimated claim premium ratio in adequacy test application.Estimated claim premium ratio is calculated by dividing the occurred claims (outstanding claims (net) + claimspaid (net) – outstanding claims reversal (net)) into earned premiums (premiums written (net) + carried forwardunearned premiums reserve (net) – unearned premiums reserve (net)). In addition, if the estimated claim premiumratio exceeds 95% in future periods for the estimated claim premium ratio of insurance branches that will bedetermined by the Undersecretariat of the Treasury, the amount calculated subsequent to the multiplication ofthe exceeding rate by unearned premiums reserve will be used in the calculation of unexpired risks reserve of therelated branch. In accordance with the Circular issued by the Undersecretariat of the Treasury on 6 November2007, unexpired risks reserve should be calculated for each sub-branches specified in the Insurance UniformedChart of Accounts.As a result of the adequacy test mentioned above, the Company has calculated and recorded TL 9.549.519 ofunexpired risk reserve (31 December 2008: TL 9.556.144) and TL 1.237.490 of reinsurance share of unexpired riskreserve (31 December 2008: TL 1.391.777).Outstanding claims reserve is provided for the outstanding claims reported but not paid as of the period-end.

Weighted average ratio is calculated by dividing the subrogation, salvage and other relatedincome received following the period in which the claims are incurred into the occurred outstanding claimsreserve. Subrogation, salvage and other related income to be deducted from the related branch’s outstandingclaims reserve for the current period is calculated by multiplying the calculated weighted average ratio of thebranch by the related branch’s occurred outstanding claims reserve of the current period.Based on the calculations mentioned above, the Company’s subrogation, salvage and other related incomesto be deducted from outstanding claims reserve amounts to TL 15.046.207 (31 December 2008: TL 20.850.812)and the reduced amount from its reinsurance share for outstanding claims reserve amounts to TL 1.017.983 (31December 2008: TL 1.175.217) for the first 6 month period in 2009.<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009 99

The current period’s incurred but not reported claim should be measured by multiplyingthe weighted average ratio by the total premium production for 12 months prior to the current period.Based on the calculations mentioned in detail above, as of 31 December 2009, the Company’s net incurred butnot reported claim amount presented under the outstanding claims reserve in the financial statements amountsto TL 72.774.792 (31 December 2008: TL 53.567.224)In accordance with Article 7(6) of the Decree “Technical Provisions of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies andPension Funds and Assets Held For Such Provisions” published in the Official Gazette No: 26606 on 7 August2007, outstanding claim reserve provided for the current period cannot be below the amount calculated by usingthe actuarial chain ladder method developed by the Undersecretariat of the Treasury. Actuarial chain laddermethod is used for the statistical calculation of minimum outstanding claim reserves provided for the periodendbased on historic claims data. If the provision amount calculated as a result of the method is higher than theoutstanding claims reserve, the difference should have been booked as an additional reserve.As of 13 August 2009, a circular No: 2009/12; “Circular related with the change on the Circulars of Actuarial ChainLadder Method No: 2007/24 and 2007/11”, is published by Undersecretariat of the Treasury.

In the application of these methods (old and new one) in the actuarial chain ladder method, the collectionperiod will be considered for the reduction of subrogation, salvage and other related items from the claims paid.3. In clean-cut treaty insurance branches, in the contracts that have abnormal deviations in the calculation ofactuarial chain ladder method, the calculation will be performed over the gross amounts and the net amounts willbe found according to the conditions of the contract.As of 31 December 2009, the Company uses the new calculation in aircrafts liability branch and the old method inother branches in the calculation of the actuarial chain ladder method.According to the calculation method explained above, there is additional outstanding claim reserve TL 552.649and the reinsurer’s share for the outstanding claims reserves TL 439.603 as calculated based on the actuarial chainladder method presented under the outstanding claims reserve in the accompanying financial statements (31December 2008: Gross: TL 1.199.319, reinsurance share: TL 31.206).As of 31 December 2009, the Company has calculated and recorded total outstanding claim reserve amounts toTL 387.934.087 (31 December 2008: TL 333.640.312) and total reinsurer’s share for the outstanding claims reservesamounts to TL 106.393.834 (31 December 2008: TL 83.465.691).Insurance companies are required to provide an outstanding claim reserve adequacy table at the end of eachyear using the format designated by the Undersecretariat of the Treasury and such companies are also requiredto present the tables to the Undersecretariat of the Treasury. This table presents the outstanding claim reserveadequacy ratio, which is the proportion of outstanding claim reserves provided for the last 5 years to the total ofclaims paid including all expense shares in relation to the related claims.

Final outstanding claims reserve of the period is calculated by adding every branchesadequacy ratio difference amount separately. During the preparation of the adequacy table and outstandingclaims reserve, incurred but not reported outstanding claims and all expense shares are considered.Based on the calculations mentioned in detail above, as of 31 December 2009, the Company’s net outstandingclaim adequacy difference calculated and presented under the outstanding claims reserve in the financialstatements amounts to TL 3.901.275 (31 December 2008: TL 6.057.043).In accordance with Article 9 of the Decree “Technical Provisions of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies andPension Funds and Assets Held For Such Provisions” published in the Official Gazette No: 26606 on 7 August2007, insurance companies are required to provide equalization reserves for earthquake and credit insurances inorder to equalize the possible fluctuations in the claims compensation rates and to cover the catastrophic risksin subsequent periods.

Goodwill on acquisitionsof associates is included in ‘investments in associates’ and is tested for impairment as part of the overallbalance. Separately recognized goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulatedimpairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entityinclude the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity disposed of.Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocations made tothose cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the businesscombination in which the goodwill arises.The Company has acquired the health portfolio of <strong>Anadolu</strong> Hayat Emeklilik A.Ş. at 31 August 2004 with all of itsrights and liabilities. The value at acquisition of the portfolio amounting to TL 16.250.000 is capitalized as goodwillby the Company.2.8 Financial AssetsInvestments are recognized and derecognized on a trade date where the purchase or sale of an investmentsunder a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the marketconcerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs except for those financial assetsclassified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value.Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets as “at fair value throughprofit or loss”, “held-to-maturity investments”, “available-for-sale financial assets” and “loans and receivables”.Effective interest methodEffective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset and of allocatinginterest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimatedfuture cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (Held-for-trading financial assets)Income related to the financial assets except for the financial assets at fair value through profit and loss iscalculated by using the effective interest method.Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset can beclassified as financial asset at fair value through profit and loss, if it is acquired principally for the purpose ofselling in the short-term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedginginstruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are classified as current assets.Held-to-maturity investmentsInvestments in debt securities with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the Companyhas the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity investments. Held-tomaturityinvestments are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method less impairment, withrevenue recognized on an effective yield basis.108<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009


<strong>Anadolu</strong> Anonim Türk <strong>Sigorta</strong> ŞirketiNotes to the Financial Statements as of 31 December 2009(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated).Available-for-sale financial assetsInvestments other than held-to-maturity debt securities are classified as either investments held for tradingor as available-for-sale, and are measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair value except available-forsaleinvestments that do not have quoted prices in an active market and their fair values cannot be reliablymeasured are stated at cost and restated to the equivalent purchasing power. Where securities are held fortrading purposes, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss for the period.For available-for-sale investments, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized directly inequity, until the security is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or losspreviously recognized in equity is included in the profit or loss for the period. Impairment losses recognized inprofit or loss for equity investments classified as available-for-sale are not subsequently reversed through profitor loss. Impairment losses recognized in profit or loss for debt instruments classified as available-for-sale aresubsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an eventoccurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.Loans and receivablesTrade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted inan active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized costusing the effective interest method, less any impairmentAssociatesAn associate is an entity that retains at the shares of voting rights or has significant power over another entity.The difference between carrying value and fair value (to the extent that it is measured reliably) of such assets arerecognized in shareholders’ equity and assets that have fair value are carried at fair value while the other assetsare carried at book value.2.9 Impairment of AssetsImpairment of non-financial assetsAssets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortization and are testedannually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever eventsor changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss isrecognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverableamount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessingimpairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cashgeneratingunits). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possiblereversal of the impairment at each reporting date.The Company assesses its financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, at each balance sheet date whether thereis any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, availablefor-saleor loans and receivables is impaired. A financial asset or portfolio of financial assets is impaired and animpairment loss incurred if there is objective evidence that an event or events since initial recognition of theasset have adversely affected the amount or timing of future cash flows from the asset. For loans and receivables,the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value ofestimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009 109


<strong>Anadolu</strong> Anonim Türk <strong>Sigorta</strong> ŞirketiNotes to the Financial Statements as of 31 December 2009(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated).The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial except fortrade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a tradereceivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of theallowance account are recognized in profit or loss.With the exception of AFS equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairmentloss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment wasrecognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that thecarrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortizedcost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.For AFS equity securities, any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized directly inequity.2.10 Derivative Financial InstrumentsDerivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and aresubsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.2.11 OffsettingFinancial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet whenthere is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a netbasis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.2.12 Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits and other short-term highly liquidinvestments which their maturities are three months or less from date of acquisition and that are readilyconvertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.2.13 Share CapitalAs of 31 December 2009, the Company’s nominal capital is TL425.000.000.

The Company makes reinsuranceagreements in which the Company (ceding company) is compensated by the insurer (reinsurer company) for oneor more claims. Insurance contracts entered into by the Company under which the contract holder is anotherinsurer (reinsurance) are included with insurance contracts.Insurance contracts are accounted when the insurance risk is transferred, and classified as an insurance contract asof the maturity date and/or amortization of the all contractual rights and liabilities.Investment Contracts:Investment contracts are those that transfer financial risks, excluding significant insurance risks.

Taxable profit differs from profit as reported inthe income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in otheryears and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax iscalculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009 111


<strong>Anadolu</strong> Anonim Türk <strong>Sigorta</strong> ŞirketiNotes to the Financial Statements as of 31 December 2009(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated).Deferred taxDeferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financialstatements and the corresponding tax bases which is used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accountedfor using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxabletemporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences tothe extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporarydifferences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises fromgoodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in atransaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in affiliatesand associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of thetemporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interestsare only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which toutilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extentthat it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to berecovered.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period inwhich the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflectsthe tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, torecover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assetsagainst current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and theCompany intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.Current and deferred tax are recognized as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate toitems credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also recognized directly in equity, or wherethey arise from the initial accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combination, the taxeffect is taken into account in calculating goodwill or determining the excess of the acquirer’s interest in the netfair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost.2.19 Employee BenefitsUnder the Turkish law and union agreements, lump sum payments are made to employees retiring or involuntarilyleaving the Group. Such payments are considered as being part of defined retirement benefit plan in accordancewith TAS 19 “Employee Benefits”.The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the definedbenefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses.2.20 ProvisionsProvisions are explained in Note 2.1.1 j.112<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009

Unearned premiums, set aside toprovide for the period of risk extending beyond the end of the financial year, are determined from premiumswritten during the year on a daily basis.Commissions received in the current period but relate to subsequent financial periods in return for the premiumsceded to the reinsurance companies are accounted as deferred commission income.Interest income and expenseInterest income and expense are accounted in the income statement in the related period on an accrual basis.Interest income includes income gains from the coupons of the fixed return investment instruments and valuationof discounted government bonds based on internal rate of return method.Dividend incomeDividend income from the equity share investments are recognized when the shareholder has the right to receivedividends.2.22 LeasingLeasing – the Company as lesseeLeases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks andrewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.Assets held under finance leases are recognized as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception ofthe lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to thelesser is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned betweenfinance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remainingbalance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit or loss, unless they are directly attributableto qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Company’s general policy onborrowing costs.Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of therelevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are also spreadon a straight-line basis over the lease term.2.23 Profit Share DistributionBased on the guidelines and principals issued by the Capital Markets Board (the Board) dated 27 January 2010for the distribution of dividends from the profit generated from operating activities in 2009, concerning publicentities, the shares of which are quoted in public equity markets, it has been agreed upon not to set a mandatoryminimum dividend payment quota (31 December 2008: 20%).

Significant Accounting Estimates and RequirementsThe Company has no significant accounting estimates or requirements.4. Insurance and Financial Risk Management4.1 Insurance RiskInsurance risk is defined as coverage for exposures that exhibit a possibility of financial loss due to applyinginappropriate and insufficient insurance techniques. Main reasons of insurance risk exposure result from therisk selection and inaccurate calculation of insurance coverage, policy terms and fee or inaccurate calculationof coverage portion kept within the company and coverage portion transfers to policyholders and transferconditions.4.1.1 Objective of managing risks arising from insurance contracts and policies used to minimize such risksPotential risks that may be exposed in transactions are managed based on the requirements set out in theCompany’s “Risk Management Policies” issued by the approval of the Board of Directors. The main objectiveof risk management policies is to determine the risk measurement, assessment, and control proceduresand maintain consistency between the Company’s asset quality and limitations allowed by the insurancestandards together with the Company’s risk tolerance of the accepted risk level assumed in return for a specificconsideration. In this respect, instruments that are related to risk transfer, such as; insurance risk selection, riskquality follow-up by providing accurate and complete information, effective monitoring of level of claims by usingrisk portfolio claim frequency, treaties, facultative reinsurance contracts and coinsurance agreements, and riskmanagement instruments, such as; risk limitations, are used in achieving the related objective.Risk tolerance is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors by considering the Company’s long-termstrategies, equity resources, potential returns and economical expectations, and it is presented by risk limitations.Authorization limitations during policy issuing include authorizations for risk acceptances granted based ongeographical regions in relation to unacceptable special risks or pre-approved acceptable special risks, insurancecoverage to agencies, district offices, technical offices, assistant general managers and top management inthe policy issuance period and authorizations for claim payment granted to district offices, claim managementadministration, automobile claims administration and Claim Committee established by the managing directorand assistant managing director in the claim payment period.Whatsoever, risk acceptance is based on technical income expectations under the precautionary principle. Indetermining insurance coverage, policy terms and fee, these expectations are based accordingly.It is essential that all the authorized personnel in charge of executing policy issuance transactions, which is theinitial phase of insurance process, should ensure to gather or provide all the accurate and complete informationto issue policies in order to obtain evidence on the acceptable risks that the Company can tolerate from therelated insurance transactions. On the other hand, decision to be made on risk acceptance will be possible bytransferring the coverage to the reinsurers and/or coinsurers and considering the terms of the insurance policy.In order to avoid destructive losses over company’s financial structure, company transfers the exceeding portionof risks assumed over the Company’s risk tolerance and equity resources through treaties, facultative reinsurancecontracts and coinsurance agreements to reinsurance and coinsurance companies. Insurance coverage and policyterms of reinsurance are determined by assessing the nature of each insurance branch.114<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009

Therefore, there is a high sensitivity toearthquake and catastrophic risks.The case of potential claims’ arising from earthquake and other catastrophic risks exceeding the maximum limitof the excess of loss agreements, such risks are treated as the primary insurance risks and are managed basedon the precautionary principle. Maximum limit of excess of loss agreements is determined based on the worstcase scenario on the possibility of an earthquake that İstanbul might be exposed to in terms of its severity andany potential losses incurred in accordance with the generally accepted international earthquake models.

These risks are managed,as part of the risk management policies, through considering the quality of the Company’s receivables byproviding detailed information about the debtors and their operations, using risk minimizing factors by receivingguarantees for receivables, measuring periodically market risks arising from the Company’s marketable securityportfolio, reliability testing of measurement results, assessing and monitoring carefully all risk factors inherent tothe Company, and assessing and reporting different scenario trends. The Company’s risk exposure is graduallyreported to the Board of Directors through the independent review of Risk Management and Internal ControlDepartment.Credit RiskCredit risk is the risk that the debtor defaults on its obligations under the terms of the transaction. Riskmanagement under this group is maintained by considering the due receivables, doubtful receivables,guarantees received for receivables, technical performances of the debtors and related parties with deposit andpartnership relations.It is essential to identify and define credit risks on an early basis for the effective risk management. Therefore,information should be provided and shared timely with the respective departments. Factors that may have anadverse effect on the credit risk and create credit risks on the Company’s risk tolerance such as; disruption incollection rates of insurance intermediaries, decreases in production performance, violations in compliance withthe Company policies, other informative data, and any negative ratings or developments inquired by reinsurancecompanies and other counterparties are considered as indicators of credit risk.As of 31 December 2009, The Company has classified TL 65.129.434 (31 December 2008: TL 57.499.314) of itstrade receivables as doubtful receivables.

Liquidity risk includes riskssuch as; failure in converting the Company’s assets at an appropriate price at short notice because of somedifficulties and inconsistencies in markets, inconsistencies in cash inflows and outflows and failure to perform itsfunding liability at reasonable cost and potential due to inconsistencies in maturities of cash flows.Liquidity risk assessments are performed based on deferrals in collections or possible inconsistencies betweenthe compensation maturities and maturities of reinsurance shares of compensations and gradually reported tothe Board of Directors when the types and maturities of assets and liabilities are due, and/or any insurance risksassociated with economical crisis, earthquake or other catastrophic events occur. Since insurance agreementscover the prospective liabilities, there is an uncertainty about the timing and amount of such liabilities. Therefore,the Company’s ability to pay claims is highly related with the liquidity of the financials assets held. Liquidity risk ismanaged through arranging the maturity structure of cash and marketable security portfolio with the current andpossible liabilities and creating the portfolio with highly liquid public sector borrowing securities.<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009 125

<strong>Anadolu</strong> Anonim Türk <strong>Sigorta</strong> ŞirketiNotes to the Financial Statements as of 31 December 2009(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated).As the result of the actuarial calculations made in relation to the Pension Fund of <strong>Anadolu</strong> Anonim Türk <strong>Sigorta</strong>Şirketi established in accordance with Article 20 of the Social Securities Act No: 506, the Company has no deficitsby the end of the current period and no payments have been made in relation to any deficit amount by theCompany. Fund assets are adequate in covering all the funds liabilities; therefore, the Company managementanticipates no liabilities to be assumed in relation to the above-mentioned matter.Retirement pay provisionUnder the Turkish Labor Law, the Company is required to pay employment termination benefits to eachemployee who has qualified for such payment. Also, employees are entitled to retirement pay provisionssubsequent to the completion of their retirement period by gaining a right to receive retirement payments inaccordance with the amended Article 60 of the applicable Social Insurance Law No: 506 and the related DecreesNo: 2422 and 4447 issued on 6 March 1981 and 25 August 1999, respectively. Some transitional provisions relatedto pre-retirement service term was excluded from the law since the related law was amended as of 23 May 2002.The amount payable consists of one month’s salary limited to a maximum of TL 2.365,16 for each period of serviceas of 31 December 2009 (31 December 2008: 2.173,19).The provision has been calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable obligation of theCompany arising from the retirement of employees. TAS 19 (“Employee Benefits”) requires actuarial valuationmethods to be developed to estimate the enterprise’s obligation under defined benefit plans. Accordingly, thefollowing actuarial assumptions were used in the calculation of the total liability:The principal assumption is that the maximum liability for each year of service will increase parallel with inflation.Thus, the discount rate applied represents the expected real rate after adjusting for the anticipated effects offuture inflation. Consequently, in the accompanying financial statements as at 31 December 2009, the provisionhas been calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable obligation of the Company arisingfrom the retirement of the employees. The provisions at the respective balance sheet dates have been calculatedassuming an annual inflation rate of 4,8% and a discount rate of 11%, resulting in a real discount rate ofapproximately 5,92% (31 December 2008: 5,4%, 12% and 6,26%, respectively). The anticipated rate of forfeituresis considered and estimated rate of the Company’s retirement pay is also taken into account. As the maximumliability is updated semi annually, the maximum amount of TL 2.427,04 effective from 1 January 2010 has beentaken into consideration in calculation of provision from employment termination benefits (As of 1 January 2009,the ceiling on severance pay is TL 2.260,05 per month).1 January- 1 January-31 December 31 December2009 2008Provision at 1 January 3.154.041 3.245.753Service cost 505.185 386.488Interest cost 197.502 185.980Retirement pay paid (171.445) (664.180)Provision at 31 December 3.685.283 3.154.041<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009 143

<strong>Anadolu</strong> Anonim Türk <strong>Sigorta</strong> ŞirketiRisk Management Policies Adhered to by Types of RisksThe Company’s risk policies and related implementation procedures include written standards devised andenforced by the Board of Directors and implemented by senior management. Determined and enforced bythe Board of Directors in parallel with international practices on the basis of insurance underwriting risk, creditrisk, market risk, operational risk and the risk of use of the Company’s services for laundering proceeds fromcrime and for financing terrorism, these are general standards that define the organization and scope of the riskmanagement function, risk measurement procedures, the duties and responsibilities of the Board of Directors,senior management and all employees, as well as the procedures for determining risk limits, actions to be takenin possible limit violations, and the compulsory approvals and confirmations that are required to be given invarious cases and circumstances.In setting the Company’s risk tolerance, the Board of Directors takes into account long-term strategies, theCompany’s equity capabilities, returns to be derived and general economic expectations, and then risk toleranceis expressed in terms of risk limits. In line with the procedures set in the Policies and in view of the marketconditions in the relevant period, the Risk Management and Internal Control Department reports violations oflimits submitted to the CEO and the Board of Directors.Senior Management is responsible for implementation of Risk Management Policies. For purposes of ensuringcompliance with policies, Senior Management means the CEO, Deputy Chief Executive Officers, and relevantUnit Managers and Regional Managers. On the other hand, all authorized employees performing the transactionsregarded as a part of risk management processes are individually responsible for the accuracy and reliability of allkinds of data and information they provide in relation to their respective jobs within the process, which form thebasis of the making of decisions.1- Insurance Underwriting Risk PolicyInsurance underwriting risk is defined as a risk that might arise from failure to correctly and effectively implementthe insurance technique within the process of turning coverage provision for natural risks which are not knowncertainly if they will occur and for risks which are known for sure to occur but are unknown time-wise intosustainable commercial earnings. The scope of Insurance Underwriting Risk Policies consists of the conditions andprice of the coverage to be provided for the risk; the principles applied in determining which of the coveragesprovided will be ceded up to what amounts and to whom in the case of risks decided to be transferred;conducting effective monitoring of risk portfolio loss frequency so as to allow formulation of fitting reinsurancestrategies at sufficient frequency, and related monitoring and reporting system.Management of insurance underwriting risk is based on the principle of forming the risk portfolio with risks thatrepresent a low potential to cause loss. In order to avoid poor risk selection and incorrect pricing of insurancepolicies and to create accurate reinsurance policies, effective monitoring is carried out on loss frequency and lossseverity of the risk portfolio. The risk portfolio is separately overseen on the basis of agents, industry, branches,regions, brands, models, tariffs, products, customers and other parameters.A comprehensive insurance underwriting risk reporting system is used to ensure measurement of lossperformance, oversee compliance with applicable legislation and ensure reporting on the effectiveness ofinsurance underwriting risk controls. The risk of the portfolio is regularly reported by executive departments andthe Risk Management and Internal Control Department to the CEO and the Board of Directors.2- Credit Risk PolicyCredit risk means the possibility of the Company’s sustaining loss due to failure on the part of policyholders,agents, reinsurers, fronting companies, coinsurers, and other parties to partially or totally fulfill their obligationstowards the Company. It also indicates to the loss of market capitalization caused by the deterioration in thefinancial standing of companies with which there are subsidiary or affiliate relationships. The Credit Risk Policysets out the procedures and responsibilities related to the management, control and monitoring of credit risk, aswell as matters in relation to credit risk limits.<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009 161


<strong>Anadolu</strong> Anonim Türk <strong>Sigorta</strong> ŞirketiRisk Management Policies Adhered to by Types of RisksEarly identification and definition of issues are of the essence for effective management of credit risk. For thispurpose early warning signals are determined; these are indicators pointing at cases that will adversely influencethe credit risk and lead to a credit risk that is above the Company’s risk tolerance. For insurance brokers, theseare declined collection ratios, reduced production performances, slackened discipline in conforming to Companyguidelines, and other data from intelligence. For reinsurance companies and other counterparts, these coverall kinds of data and information obtained in relation to negative ratings and developments. It is the duty andresponsibility of executive units to obtain data and information in relation to credit risk. All kinds of informationobtained are urgently considered within the frame of decision-making, monitoring, reporting and auditingprocesses.A credit risk scoring system used, which has the capability to be made use of in the management of credit riskand decision-making, to enable monitoring risk on the basis of counterparties, to take notice of expected andunexpected losses, and to allow for making the decisions based not only on the return derived or anticipatedto be derived from the counterparty at any time, but also on the risk underwritten. The risks of counterpartiesare regularly reported by the Risk Management and Internal Control Department to the CEO and the Board ofDirectors. The Risk Management and Internal Control Department is also responsible for undertaking daily followupof regional, sectoral and market trends that have an actual or possible impact on the Company’s credit risk,and for reporting the results to the CEO and the Board of Directors.3- Market Risk PolicyMarket Risk means the risk of loss in the value of the Company’s placements in financial borrowing instrumentswhose return is linked to interest rate; stock, other investment securities, all FX or FX-indexed assets and liabilitiesin or off the balance sheet, derivative agreements based on the said instruments, which loss might result from thevolatilities in interest rates, stock prices and exchange rates.The basic and ultimate purpose of the Company’s activities in money and capital markets is to generate returns.The basis of Market Risk policies is to measure, report and keep under control the risk that the Company isexposed to by reason of such activity. The top priority is to ensure that the Market Risk the Company exposedto is within the limits stipulated by applicable legislation and is compliant with the company’s risk appetite. Inmarket risk management, risk appetite is expressed in terms of market risk limits assigned to the executive fundmanagement unit and the contracted asset management companies. Market risk limits are categorized into twogroups: limits set employing the value at risk method, and limits determined based on the ratio of each group ofinvestment securities to the total portfolio and shareholders’ equity. The Risk Management and Internal ControlDepartment and executive fund management unit closely and constantly monitor limit violations. In case limitsare exceeded, the amount at which a limit is exceeded and its reasons are reported to the CEO and the Board ofDirectors, along with the assessments of the executive body. If limit violations are above the ratios or durationsset by the Board of Directors, necessary action is determined by the Board of Directors.Market risk is calculated employing internationally accepted statistical methods. Since these calculations coverrisk prediction for the following days, the accuracy of predictions are compared subsequently with actualvalues and monitored on a daily basis. On the other hand, the portfolio is tested under different scenarios fordetermining the effects of occurrences which pose a low probability in terms of occurrence, but big volumein terms of loss. The assessments, which include the possible mismatches among types and maturities of theCompany’s assets and liabilities, are regularly reported in detail to the CEO and the Board of Directors.4- Operational Risk PolicyOperational risk is defined as any risk other than absolute insurance underwriting, credit and market risks whichmight occur in the organization, business continuity, insufficient or inoperative business processes, technology,human resource, underperformance by individuals, administrative mistakes, unfortunate events, misconduct,accident and fraud, systems or external factors, legislation, management and business environment, and whichmight cause physical or reputational loss to the Company.162<strong>Anadolu</strong> <strong>Sigorta</strong> Annual Report 2009


<strong>Anadolu</strong> Anonim Türk <strong>Sigorta</strong> ŞirketiRisk Management Policies Adhered to by Types of RisksOperational risks that might be faced during the activities are classified based on the “Company Risk Catalogue,”which is the basic document used in defining and classifying all risks that may be faced with. The Risk Catalogue isupdated in parallel with the changing conditions. “Self-Assessment Methodology” is used in the identification ofoperational risks. In this method, the risks in relation to activities conducted are exposed with the involvement ofthe personnel performing the job.Qualitative and quantitative methods are used jointly in the measurement and evaluation of operational risk. Themeasurement process uses data obtained from “impact - likelihood analysis”, “control culture profile surveys”and internal and external “loss database.” When managing operational risk, efforts are spent to develop controlsto eliminate or mitigate the possibility of sustaining loss due to risks that the Company may be exposed to inrelation to its activities. Effectiveness and adequacy of existing or subsequently developed controls, and theimplementation of action plans adopted in this regard are evaluated in coordination with the Risk Managementand Internal Control Department and the Board of Inspectors. The Risk Management and Internal ControlDepartment monitors all operational risks that the Company may be exposed to during the course of its activities,and regularly reports on the same to the CEO and the Board of Directors.5- Policy for Combating the Legalization (Laundering) of Proceeds from Crime and Financing of TerrorismThese policies are intended to define, rate, monitor, assess and mitigate the risks the Company is exposed towith respect to the use of the insurance service offered by the Company in laundering proceeds from crime orfinancing of terrorism. The ultimate goal can be achieved by effectively monitoring and supervising customersand transactions in full compliance with the applicable legislation and regulations.The overall scope of the Policy covers the activities centrally executed for defining, measuring, monitoring,controlling and reporting the risks that the Company is exposed to for reasons of the use of the insurance serviceoffered by the Company in laundering proceeds from crime or in financing of terrorism, or the Company’s failureto fully comply with the liabilities imposed by the Law no 5549 on Prevention of Laundering Proceeds from Crimeand by related regulations and communiqués.The basic strategy of the Company to achieve the ultimate goal is to carefully plan, conduct and manage riskmanagement activities independently, impartially, purposefully, productively and efficiently, employing a riskfocusedapproach and in line with applicable legislation and internationally accepted principles and standards.The basic principle in achieving this goal is to employ the most advanced tools and methods that are availableand possible to be used.
