What drives Insurance on the PSX
Insurers earn in two distinct ways: underwriting profit, the difference between premiums and claims, and investment income on the float they hold before claims are paid. In Pakistan, investment income frequently dominates, which means many insurers behave partly like leveraged bond portfolios and are sensitive to interest rates and equity markets.
What to watch
- Interest rates and market returns on the investment portfolio.
- Claims experience, including catastrophe exposure such as flooding.
- Premium growth, constrained by very low insurance penetration in Pakistan.
- Reinsurance costs and availability.
