A new way to protect your 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: wealth from Life's podcast Get a Quote. 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 2: Now, Cura Koto. If people talk about insurance, they're usually 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 2: saying things like gosh, how much has it gone up? 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 2: Or will it really be worth it? But understanding your 8 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 2: risks and how you need to cover them, well, well 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 2: that's crucial whether you're investing, we're just doing life. I'm 10 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 2: Garth Bray and this is Shared Lunch. Today. We're with 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: the Insurance Council's Chief executive, Chris Farfuey, for a lesson 12 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: in how to cover those risks. But first he has 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 2: some important information. 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: Investing involves the risk you might lose the money you 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: start with. We recommend talking to a licensed financial advisor. 16 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: We also recommend reading product disclosure documents before deciding to invest. 17 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: Everything you're about to see and here is current at 18 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: the time of recording. 19 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: Well, Mullowila, Chris, thanks for giving us some time my 20 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: look to see it. Look, you represent an industry that, 21 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 2: by now I reckon must have taken about ten billion 22 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: dollars worth of premium in the last twelve months from 23 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 2: New Zealand. It's that's gross written premium. I'm about right 24 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 2: with that figure. 25 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, roughly give or take a millionaire a billion either. 26 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: Side a billionare a billion there, you know, so you're 27 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 2: talking about real money. Look five years ago though, that 28 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: figure was about six point eight billion, so that's like 29 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: a forty percent increase. And this is just off the 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: figures that I saw on the on the public page 31 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: at the Insurance Council. And across that period inflation has 32 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: been about twenty percent, So it's quite a big gap. 33 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: How do we get there? And when does it stop? 34 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 3: How do we get there? 35 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 4: It's the cost of repairing things and the cost of 36 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,639 Speaker 4: inputs into insurance have increased over time. 37 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 3: I think most people wouldn't know that. 38 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 4: We also collect on behalf of the government the funding 39 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 4: for the foreign emergency, so the fence levy is part 40 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 4: of people's premium. Also, we collect the levy for what 41 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 4: used to be EQC is now the Natural Hazards Commission, 42 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 4: So all of that goes into how premium is constructed. Also, importantly, 43 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 4: you know the cost of repairing things has increased building 44 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 4: and construction cars becoming more complex, so fixing them has 45 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 4: become more expensive. But the other thing, as well, as 46 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 4: as things kick off around the country, the ability to 47 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 4: get reinsurance. 48 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 3: Is becoming more challenging. 49 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 4: And if people are watching and wondering what reinsurance is, 50 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 4: it really is insurance for insurance that things get big 51 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 4: and then that engages their insurance and the ability to 52 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 4: get that is challenging. 53 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: Over time. 54 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 4: We do that, our members do that every year, and 55 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 4: certainly the cost of reinsurance is going up, primarily because 56 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 4: as you've probably seen more recently, climate related events like 57 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 4: cyclones around the world mean that more people are looking 58 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 4: for reinsurance. And when that happens globally, we do serve 59 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 4: CESPI compricing. We're hoping that that levels out in the 60 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 4: next three or four years, but certainly the trend has 61 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 4: been in the last two or three years and when 62 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 4: we've had events here in New Zealand that that cost 63 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 4: of insurance has increased. 64 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: You've touched on quite a number of issues there. But 65 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: I suppose I should just clarify that the numbers we're 66 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: talking about before, they don't include things like life insurance 67 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: or health or income protection. That's not where the Insurance 68 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: Council members cover, right, Yeah, so your members are the 69 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: companies that offer general insurance, you know, people's homes, contents, 70 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 2: business assets, and cars. Gosh, when I took a look 71 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: Motivacle insurance, that's like a three billion dollar industry in 72 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: terms of that gross written premium, and so that looks 73 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: bigger than homes or contents or any other sector and 74 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: with lower claims growth. So is that business in some 75 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: sense kind of subsidizing or propping up the rest of 76 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: the insurance business? And I guess could the prices be 77 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: a bit sharper there? 78 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: I don't think it is, probably it up. 79 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 4: I think when you know our members, they look across 80 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 4: all their box in there what we call lines of insurance, 81 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 4: whether it be house and contents, or whether it be home, 82 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 4: or whether it be murder. 83 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 3: As you say, they are. 84 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 4: All running their own operations and taking their own kind 85 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 4: of levels of risk, more so in home insurance than 86 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 4: moder that's pretty finite depending on what you're doing with 87 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 4: a car as well. So what I would say to 88 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 4: your question, Garth, is that they're all pretty competitive. They 89 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 4: want to take business off each other, but in a 90 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 4: general sense that the cost of ensuring and the cost 91 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 4: of repairing is becoming more challenging for news yalders. We 92 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 4: understand that that's because the cost of fixing some of 93 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 4: these things like cars and repairing homes is becoming more 94 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 4: expensive over time as well. 95 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 2: So you've got the global chip shortage, right, Apparently that's 96 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: a problem that it's making new cars more expensive, which 97 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: means it's more likely you want to repair, and all 98 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: of that is pushing up and insurance premium for motor vehicles. 99 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: Is that what you're hearing too. 100 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, cars are becoming more complex. I've got an old 101 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 4: Holden Captiva. It's pretty relatively easy to fix. But someone 102 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: with a more modern car, which is more complex and 103 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 4: the componentry and the digital nature of them, it is 104 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 4: harder to fix. 105 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 2: I think if we want to talk about homes as well, right, 106 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 2: because for most they're still the biggest asset that people 107 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: either own or would sort of hope to own. I 108 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: did a little bit of research the Reserve Bank looked 109 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: at the insurance price cycle and dwelling insurance inflation. It 110 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: jumped about forty four percent in twenty twelve following the 111 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: Canterbury earthquakes. In twenty eighteen after the Kikuta earthquake, it 112 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: A bouts up about eighteen percent and on their numbers 113 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: at the Reserve Bank twenty five percent this year after 114 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 2: the North Island weather events and previously those two events, 115 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: that took about two years for the for the premium 116 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: growth to track down closer towards inflation. Should households just 117 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: expect that's the pattern after a big catastrophe look forward 118 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: to price increases on insurance premiums for a couple of 119 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 2: years two to three. 120 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 3: Yeah. 121 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 4: That by the Razent Bank back in through their Financial 122 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 4: Stability Report, I think was really useful. Gave context from 123 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 4: the regulator about understanding how the rhythm of events works 124 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 4: now when we do have an event. As I mentioned before, 125 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 4: the reinsurers who look after our insurers when a big 126 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 4: event kicks off, take another look at the market and 127 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 4: they try and make sure that they reassess it what 128 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 4: is the right amount of reinsurance capacity to send to 129 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 4: New Zealand and what that price is. And there's a 130 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 4: kind of a settling of the dust that happens after 131 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 4: a big event as you mentioned certainly happened after christ 132 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 4: Church and some serious discussions had to happen there to 133 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 4: make sure that our members could get that reinsurance in 134 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 4: order to continue to offer insurance, especially to the christ 135 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 4: Church market. That happened again in co coulda Those were 136 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 4: two searsmic events and a lot of our risk At 137 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 4: that stage everyone knew that it was searsmic. We saw 138 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 4: something similar happen after the Aukland Anniversary floods and cycle 139 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 4: and Gabrielle of earlier last year that that obviously was 140 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 4: a climate related event. And when that happened, the Rensherer 141 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 4: has had another good look at New Zealand and the 142 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 4: risk profile of it, put their their hands to their 143 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 4: chins and said, and we have to have a bit 144 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 4: of a think about this in terms of the risk 145 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 4: that New Zealand poses now, so we've got this double 146 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 4: layer of assessment of New Zealand both seismic which has 147 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 4: been traditional, but also climate. 148 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: Now. 149 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 4: Just to put that in context, Garth, I think kind 150 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 4: of for the years prior to twenty twenty three, members 151 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 4: traditionally for weather related events would have paid out at about 152 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 4: three hundred and fifty million dollars per annum max on 153 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 4: kind of weather related events. There were obviously kind of 154 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 4: smaller events that event of last year. I think we're 155 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 4: close to having paid out about three point eight billion dollars, 156 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 4: so that event is ten times bigger than what we 157 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 4: would expect. So, as you can imagine, we've got some 158 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 4: attention from the reinsurers and that's why people are finding 159 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 4: it a little bit more difficult at the moment in 160 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 4: terms of the premiums. But as you probably also saw, 161 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 4: and as you've mentioned, that plateau is out over time. 162 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 4: Once that kind of new equilibrium. 163 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: Is found, did the insurers get to a point where 164 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: maybe they weren't going to be able to access some 165 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: of that reinsurance. 166 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 4: Look, I think it's not necessarily challenge to accesses, but 167 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 4: it is a it is a more complex discussion for 168 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 4: them to have. And at a macro New Zealand ink level, 169 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 4: we need to make sure that New Zealanders a country 170 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 4: is saying to reinsure as that because of this increased 171 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 4: climate risk that is now a reality, what are we 172 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 4: doing to mitigate and reduce the risk and therefore the 173 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 4: claims to New Zealanders. We're certainly lobbying hard to the 174 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 4: government around its climate adaptation work to say that we 175 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 4: should get ahead of this. What are we doing to 176 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 4: ensure that we've got infrastructure in the likes of the 177 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 4: Hawks Bay Auckland, for example, because of those north Old 178 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 4: weather events, to say, if this happens again, how do 179 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 4: we ensure there isn't a flooding to the extent that 180 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 4: we've got, And what kind of planning decisions are we 181 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 4: making to ensure we're not building in places where we 182 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 4: shouldn't Because I think there's a history, and some of 183 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 4: it is explainable, and some of it is in New 184 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 4: Zealand that we are building communities and places where there's 185 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 4: obvious natural hazard risk and we can't continue to do 186 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 4: that in the future because the reinsurers will say, well, 187 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 4: why is that happening? We're not necessarily we won't necessarily 188 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 4: have the appetite to cover that risk in the future. 189 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: I think it was how one of your members that 190 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 2: told the market earlier this year the unpalatable try truth 191 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: is not everyone is or will be able to ensure 192 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: their home the way they do now? Is that pretty 193 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: common view around the board table there at the insurance Council. 194 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, each of our members have got their own 195 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 4: appetite as to what they'll cover, but it certainly from 196 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 4: what we're expecting in terms of increased severity of weather 197 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 4: events and increase frequency of weather events and what we 198 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 4: know about coastal risk and kind of floodplaining pro prine areas. 199 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 4: Insurers and councils and governments are taking a much closer 200 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 4: look at those kinds of things as well. Not only 201 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: did we pay out three point eight billion dollars as 202 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 4: a result of last year's where the events, but the 203 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 4: Crown also forked out quite a lot of money as 204 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 4: the councils to make sure that people in red zones 205 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 4: could be compensated and confines new places to live. So 206 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 4: there's awareness from the government, from local government and also 207 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 4: the private sector that we actually need to change things 208 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 4: in order to make sure we can reduce that risk. 209 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 4: There's going to mean some challenging conversations in the future 210 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 4: for some communities, but also the ability to get insurance 211 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 4: will become challenging, especially if we do nothing, which is 212 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 4: why we're pushing as hard as we can to make 213 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 4: sure we are kind of having the conversation about infrastructure 214 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 4: built in the right place and to the right standards 215 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 4: to protect communities and households. 216 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 3: If we can do that, our story. 217 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 4: To our reinsurers is a much better story to conversation 218 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 4: to have so they can keep seeing that reinsurance capacity 219 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 4: to New Zealand and also at a price that is 220 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: affordable to these elders. It's the sustainability of the market 221 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 4: in the future and the medium to long term is challenging. 222 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 4: But we want to work with anyone who can make 223 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 4: sure that that risk profile can be reduced. 224 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: You say in the future, but I mean given insurance 225 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: contracts typically run for about a year completely withdrawing cover 226 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: to an area like a suburb or town, even that 227 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: could happen pretty quickly, couldn't it. 228 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, And we weren't necessarily be the ones who make 229 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 4: that decision. You know, we'll have to kind of work 230 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 4: with central government and local government to understand what the 231 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 4: future of an area is. Certainly, through some pricing signals, 232 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 4: some of our members are saying this area is riskier 233 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 4: than others. But you know, the conversation about whether or 234 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 4: not a community has a future or not shouldn't just 235 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 4: ride on the price of an insurance premium. It has 236 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 4: to be a discussion that central government and local government 237 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 4: also lead to make sure the right kind of decisions 238 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 4: are being made and they go through a process and 239 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 4: work with communities to do that. You can't just say 240 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 4: you know, upstacks or where are people going to go? 241 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 4: And certainly we've been heartened by the conversations that we've 242 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 4: had with Parliament via the Sect Committee that's just done 243 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 4: an inquiry into adaptation and the National Adaptation Plan that 244 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 4: was undertaken by James Shaw and the previous government kind 245 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 4: of set some good work too. And I think we're 246 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 4: probably going to come to a head pretty soon because 247 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 4: I think councils, banks, insurers, local government and central government 248 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 4: are predicin that we're working with communities so they can 249 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 4: get an understanding of what the future holds to them. 250 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 4: It's not just insurance, it's the value of their assets 251 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 4: as well, and that's something that is well beyond the 252 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 4: remit of insurance itself. 253 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: Just quickly, I guess, given that ensurability of homes is 254 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 2: getting more expensive and trickier, does that change people's views 255 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: potentially about perceptions of property as an asset class. Is 256 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 2: it going to lead people perhaps to think about equities 257 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: and other kinds of things, maybe saying case it's too 258 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 2: risky to one at home. 259 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 4: A lot of people need to own home to live in, 260 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 4: and I think, you know, that kind of sense of 261 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 4: the key we dream still needs to be there. I 262 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 4: just think it'll be really useful now. I think if 263 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 4: we're doing everything as we can as a sector to 264 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 4: give kiwis the best available information for them to make decisions. 265 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 4: You'll go and by home, and a lot of that 266 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 4: can be based on an emotion and price. But what 267 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 4: we would ask people to do is make sure that 268 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 4: you know, you think about insurance as part of that 269 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 4: purchase process as well. It's not just the thing that 270 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 4: you have to get to get a mortgage, it's you 271 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 4: understand the risk involved in whatever you're buying, where it is, 272 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 4: the impact on your insurance premium, and then that they 273 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 4: shop around. You know, most places in New Zealanders in 274 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 4: New Zealand are still getting insurance, so you do have 275 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 4: to shop around a bit to kind of understand what 276 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 4: you can get and where you can get it. 277 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 2: I'm sort of mentally having to stop myself calling you 278 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 2: minister because the last time and I folk. 279 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 3: That way, people call me a lot of things and 280 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 3: they don't call me that anymore. 281 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: Well, Chris, I'm having to mentally stop myself from calling 282 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: you minister, because last time you and I spoke, you 283 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: were still in Cabinet. I mean you did five and 284 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: a half years there. You were the Minister for Emergency 285 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 2: Management and Civil Defense, I think, and justice and let's 286 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: not forget broadcasting and immigration during the COVID lockdowns when 287 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 2: all we did was watched TV and wonder about where 288 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: we couldn't go. So I just wonder you've stepped in 289 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: as the chief Executive of the Insurance Council after those 290 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 2: devastating floods up here in Auckland start of last year, 291 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: after Cyclone Gabriel. Of course, so much damage, you know, 292 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: took lives and costs so much to the industry. Are 293 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 2: you an insurance insider Now, I. 294 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 4: Wouldn't say I'm an insider, yet I'm an outsider that's 295 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 4: come in. I like really complex problems, which is probably 296 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 4: why I was given the portfolio as I was given 297 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,479 Speaker 4: in cabinet, and I really enjoyed both the commerce portfolio 298 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 4: and also emergency management. So I've been able to use 299 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 4: the context of those and certainly the networks that I've 300 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 4: built over time to be able to effect some change here. 301 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 4: We do have the insurance set down in New Zealand 302 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 4: does have some complex problems around climate adaptation in front 303 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 4: of it. I'm actually confident that there is a pathway 304 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 4: to meeting that challenge, and I spent quite forward thinking 305 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 4: about that and it's my job to kind of get 306 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 4: the insurance sector's voice and opinion into some of that. 307 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 4: I'm really lucky I've got a really proactive board who 308 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 4: does see the end zet ink challenge in this as 309 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 4: well as the sustainability of their industry and the long 310 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 4: term as well. There's some pretty difficult conversations that need 311 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 4: to happen and insurance needs to be part of that 312 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 4: as well. We'll kind of enter some of those tricky 313 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 4: places where we may not have gone to before because 314 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 4: we do want to make sure that we're advancing it. 315 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 4: I think the worst thing that could happen for New 316 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 4: Zealand and to our sectors we just sat on our hands. 317 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 4: When we know that the frequency and severity of the 318 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 4: climate change climate related challenges are upon us. We just 319 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 4: have to speak to anyone in the Hawks Bay, tider 320 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 4: Fitty and Auckland, those areas that were affected that if 321 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 4: we don't learn from this and make sure that the 322 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 4: ability of New Zealander is to have the peace of 323 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 4: mind of insurance is still there and affordable and available, 324 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 4: that you know, a lot of that asset value that 325 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 4: we talked about becomes difficult, a lot of future of 326 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 4: communities becomes difficult, work hard to kind of maintain the 327 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 4: happy medium and equilibrium that we've got. 328 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 2: Now your time in politics and I think as communistments, 329 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: so that you know, the community ComCom started market studies. 330 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 2: I think we've got one in banking right now. We've 331 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 2: had them for supermarkets, we've had them for building materials 332 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 2: and for the fuel patrons. On what would a market 333 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 2: study of insurance show us? 334 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 4: Well, look, I think we've got about just a little 335 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 4: over twenty general insurance in New Zealand. We've got two 336 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 4: or three kind of large players in the in the 337 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 4: in the country as well. I think the benefit of 338 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 4: some of that structure is that at least two of 339 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 4: them are kind of Australian only got Australian parents. So 340 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 4: when we go shopping for reinsurance, we don't just go 341 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 4: as in New Zealand, we go as Australia and New 342 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 4: Zealand and we're able to have some kind of economies 343 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 4: of scale there and buy and power as good for 344 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 4: us there. I think generally there is good competition in 345 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 4: the market, so you know, we do see some fierce 346 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 4: competition to make sure pricing and products are there. I 347 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 4: think you'll probably see in the product space much more 348 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 4: innovation in the future because of what's happening in terms 349 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 4: of climate change. But one of my jobs is to 350 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 4: do what I did at the beginning of this interview 351 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 4: and just let people know how insurance premium is constructed 352 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 4: and that we do have to go offshore to buy 353 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 4: a rather large component of the input into an insurance policy, 354 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 4: which is a reinsurance It's a global price. We bargain hard, 355 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 4: but we do have to kind of go with whatever 356 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 4: the wins of the global reinsurance market is. So I 357 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 4: think one of our jobs is to make sure that 358 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 4: this system understands how insurance works and keep being on 359 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 4: about that. You know, we're taking a minister to London 360 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 4: to make sure that they understand how reinsurance works as well, 361 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 4: making sure our kind of local government and other central 362 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,959 Speaker 4: government members a part of understanding as well, so when 363 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 4: they're looking at it in terms of policy in the future. 364 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 4: They understand how the market works, so as the minister 365 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 4: who introduced market studies are there for a purpose. But 366 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 4: I would say that the currently the insurance market's working 367 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 4: pretty well. 368 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 2: Chris, looking ahead five years, if you try to take 369 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 2: a five year view of the insurance industry, same same, 370 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: all different. I mean, we're still going to have those 371 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 2: two big Australian mega brands pretty much covering most of 372 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: what people do. 373 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 4: Oh, that's not for me to say that. There's a 374 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 4: whole lot of other factors that go into that, but 375 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 4: I think what they are interested in is making sure 376 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 4: that the market is still strong and sustainable. I mean, 377 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 4: I think one of the questions you're probably gonna ask 378 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 4: is whether they're not insurance is a grud to purchase. 379 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 4: I don't think it's a grudge purchase. I think it's 380 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 4: a grudge payment. People don't like paying for it, but 381 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 4: they do understand that they need it. So having that 382 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 4: availability for New Zealanders is really important. You know, these 383 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 4: in this relationship with insurance is pretty They make sure 384 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 4: they've got most people, make sure they've got coverage for 385 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 4: their car, and that we've still got coverage and the 386 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 4: house market of well into the nineties, So we want 387 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 4: to make sure that that kind of relationship with insurance 388 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 4: has maintained. Prices are a big factor in that, and 389 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 4: making sure people do understand how that price has arrived 390 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 4: at is one of the things that we have to 391 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 4: do a better job at, not just with consumers, but 392 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 4: also with regulators and politicians who have the leavers of policy. 393 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 2: What about I suppose the insure text, the nimble companies 394 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 2: that are going to come to market. What's the role 395 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 2: for them and are they part of your club? 396 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 4: Well, they're not members, if that's what part of the 397 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 4: club has meant. Are they being innovative? Yes, but so 398 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 4: are our members. And I think the way that our 399 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 4: members are kind of developing products, developing pricing, certainly using 400 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 4: technology to be more efficient in their processes in an 401 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 4: effort to try and make the consumer experience better and 402 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 4: keep costs slow is really important in that respect, you know, 403 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 4: kind of the exposure to AI in the back office processes, 404 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 4: but also in terms of what is expected of communication 405 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 4: to consumers now when the new contracts of insurance law 406 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 4: Bell becomes an act is really important. So I'm quite 407 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 4: excited about what the sector can do with AI in 408 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 4: terms of communicating to consumers. But also there's really simple 409 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 4: things that AI can do for processes to make life 410 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 4: for consumers easier. And for insurance. You know, it's already 411 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 4: been done with some of our members. You know, if 412 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 4: you've got a relatively simple insurance claim, you can get 413 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 4: that done quickly because our members are using AI. Whereas 414 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 4: once you might have had to ring three or four 415 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 4: times to get some traction on your claims process. Some 416 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 4: of that stuff is happening just like that because all 417 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 4: the information is coming through and the process then ensure 418 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 4: are much more streamlined, and the technology. 419 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 3: Is there now. 420 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 2: Every other industry is subject to sort of massive innovation 421 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: as these smaller players come in without all of the 422 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 2: legacy costs and try and do something different. How how 423 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 2: does the insurance industry respond to that? Does it welcome it? 424 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,959 Speaker 2: Does it challenge it? How do you? How do your 425 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 2: members deal with that? 426 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 4: You loo can think like anyone, if a challenger comes along, 427 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 4: then the best thing is to make sure you understand 428 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 4: what's happening and responding to it. Each of our members 429 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 4: will do that in their own way, but certainly you know, 430 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 4: the innovation and the use of AI. It's kind of 431 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 4: the easy thing to say. But product innovation, that kind 432 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 4: of innovation, with the way that our websites are offering 433 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 4: better services and faster services to consumers, is certainly there, 434 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 4: all of those things coming together offering the best possible 435 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 4: product our members are thinking about that day and day out. 436 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 2: There's data as well, right, The data is the other 437 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: part of the the data about you know, flood patterns, 438 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: whether people trying to use that very granular approach to 439 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 2: risk to say this house, this house will ensure it, 440 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 2: but not the one in the middle, rather than sort 441 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: of the traditional model of insurance, which was kind of 442 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 2: like socialism for capitalists, like, you know, we'll all put 443 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 2: our risk together and cover our assets that way. So 444 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 2: is that going to change things? 445 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 4: And it has, and it will and it will continue, 446 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 4: not just for insurance. As counsels and governments and insurers 447 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 4: and banks get their hands on better data and modeling, 448 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 4: then the decisions that we make can be more granular. 449 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, I think that's 450 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 4: useful for consumers as they have access to that and 451 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 4: they can make decisions on investments or not. And again, 452 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 4: as I kind of said it there earlier in the interview, 453 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 4: are consumer's ability to go into those decisions about investment 454 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 4: fully and warned about what those insurance implications are, what 455 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 4: the borrowing implications are, what the reality of the the 456 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 4: location are. Put us in better stead to make better decisions. 457 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 4: Better information is good for everyone, and certainly as we 458 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 4: get more as information as insurers and as a sector, 459 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 4: we're able to have more precise discussions with people about 460 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 4: what the coverages and at what pricing point that is. 461 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 2: Thank you, Chris Farvoy, that's been really interesting.
