Message from the Chairman
Dear shareholders,
2008 presented us with the occasionto live through a crucial experienceabout how to be successful underunusual and tough economicconditions.
The current crisis in the world bears
either a direct or indirect impact onnumerous sectors. It will be an illusionto think that one would be totallyimmune to the crisis; however, it isa reality that companies possessinga robust financial structure andcorrectly channeled investments suchas Anadolu Sigorta will be lessinfluenced by it.
As Anadolu Sigorta, our recent priorityhas been to capture a setting ofstrong growth built on solid
foundations, which does not disregardprofitability. The crisis reminded usonce again of the great importanceand appropriateness of this tendencywe have.
Anadolu Sigorta, being the firstnational company, holds a distinctiveand very important place in the historyof insurance business in Turkey.Backed by this deeply-rooted historyof 83 years, we are working towardsauthoring more novelties and we
steer our industry.
We lead the sector in productcreation, service and technology.Our goal is to create a broad publicawareness of insurance in Turkeyand to protect our people against anyloss with our customer-focusedapproach to service.
In our efforts to this end, we are
supported and brought to a privilegedposition in terms of access to ourpolicyholders by the perfectcombination of our competence toreflect advanced technology in ourservices, our speed, efficiency, andresult-orientation, and the capabilitiesgranted by our extensive servicenetwork.
One of the main engines behind ourachievements is the synergy createdwith flbank, the greatest contributor
to the economic progress owing toits unique scale today, as it has beenat any phase of the national economy.Being a member of this communityhas always given us immense prideand the perseverance to work harder.
Trust and reputation are the twofeatures we keep repeating in ourmessages, and we will not grow tiredof reiterating them. Both are hard toearn, and extremely easy to lose. Thisis a fact that has been even better
comprehended during the latestglobal crisis. Anadolu Sigorta
preserves these features as the keyto sustainability, combined with thestrong corporate values espoused,the principles of caring for the humanand ethical code of conduct.
We fulfill all the criteria to be asuccessful insurance company: weare a profitable company, we maintain
our strong financial structure, weachieve maximum customersatisfaction, and we are a professionalteam.
Challenging circumstances furthertighten the bond among us andsharpen our focus on the target.Drawing on the pride and powerbestowed upon us by our assertionto be Turkey's insurance, we willkeep working vigorously to offermaximum protection to our

Message from the CEO
Once again in 2008 we have reachedtwo important targets: We maintainedand further increased our profitability,and we remained the name achievinghighest customer satisfaction.
At a time when global crisis conditionsmade their presence felt, the
performance results attained whileadhering strictly to our strategies yetagain confirmed that we havecorrectly positioned our Company.
Growth backed by profitability...We set our priority goal for 2008 asgrowth established on solidfoundations backed by profitability.The results we achieved brought asuccess beyond our targets.
Owing to our strategy based on the
fact that profitability is one of the keyelements for securing sustainablegrowth, our technical profit in 2008reached TRY 96,671,499, with astaggering increase by 346% on ayear-to-year basis. As thisachievement was supported also byour Company's financial performanceresults, our gross profit for 2008 wentup 82% to TRY 140,722,726, whileour net profit more than doubled witha 117% rise and materialized as TRY117,666,276.
We believe that it is necessary tobrace up the financial structure withprofitability and to minimizereinsurance requirements particularlyat times of crisis. On the other hand,we support this solid structure withour liquid assets.
We are raising our return onpremiums.Under ideal conditions, morepremiums mean more profit;however, correct pricing policies arenot implemented in Turkey forcompetition purposes. As a result,the risk of posting loss is not reducedeven if there is an increase in
turnover, as opposed to the generalprinciple.
Not sustainable, this competitionpolicy will be abandoned even morerapidly in the crisis environment. Thismay be interpreted as increasedprices at first glance. Yet, it shouldbe kept in mind that otherwisecompanies will have difficulty inmaintaining their existence, not tomention in growing.
Our Company's success in raisingthe return on premiums led toincreased technical profitabilitydespite decreased premiumproduction in some products. Likewe always say, our aim is to deriveprofit on insurance business.
For the fifth time, we are the leaderin customer satisfaction.Once again in 2008, Anadolu Sigortawas named the the mostsatisfactory insurance company with
its products and services, and wonthe Active Academy Private CustomerSatisfaction Award in Insurance.Anadolu Sigorta got nearly 29% ofthe votes in the survey which isbasically a customer satisfaction poll.
We sculpt all the products andservices we present as the sector'sleader with a keen eye on ourpolicyholders' demands and needs.As Anadolu Sigorta, we appear beforeour insured customers with theprinciple Never lose. We takeenormous pride in the fact that ourapproach is being rewarded for the
fifth consecutive time.
Our achievements are crowned withawards.Focused on producing innovativeproducts and solutions, and erectedon customer satisfaction, the superiorservice understanding of AnadoluSigorta continued to be crowned withvarious awards also in the reportingperiod.
Anadolu Sigorta;
was named the best insurancecompany in Turkey by Euromoney,the leading international economyand finance magazine, and took thefirst place also in claims payment,innovation and price subcategoriesin addition to its overall leadership.
was awarded for its Spare PartSupply Project by Active Academyat the Insurance Summit under theInnovative Company Award category.
An overview of the sector in 2008...In 2008, the insurance sectorexpanded 7.71% overall, registering6.24% nominal growth in total non-life branches; however, the sectordid not grow in real terms. While totalpremium production stood at TRY11.8 billion, non-life premiumproduction materialized as TRY 10.2billion.

12 Anadolu Sigorta 2008 Annual Report Message from the CEO
Public awareness of insurance...
Message from the CEO
The work on legal infrastructure hasbeen ongoing with the secondarylegislation continued to be publishedduring 2008 following theenforcement of the Insurance Lawin 2007. All these efforts in the legalarena bear utmost importance inbringing the insurance industry intoalignment with the European Union
and international norms. Revisedlegislation and the changesintroduced are generally of the natureto enhance the reliability of theexisting or future companies engagedin the industry, and to protect theinsured.
Foreigners' interest in the industrygets more and more intense.Similar to the previous year, foreigncapital inflow into the insuranceindustry increased also in 2008.
Following the agreement reached forthe sale of 50% stake in AXA OyakHolding A.fi. to the AXA Group, TEBSigorta A.fi. has been acquired byZurich Financial Services Group, KoAllianz Sigorta A.fi. and Ko AllianzHayat ve Emeklilik A.fi. by Allianz,and Ankara Emeklilik A.fi. by Aegon.
The contraction in economy willimpact also the insurance industry.Though the stagnation caused byglobal crisis combined with liquidity
shortage gave rise to significantissues for a part of the financialservices sector, the insuranceindustry was able to shun the firstwave without suffering from majorinjuries. The reasons behind therelative resilience of insurancecompanies include various factors
such as the flexibility of their businessmodels, the conservative attitudedisplayed by executives ininvestments as a result of pastexperiences, and the strictsupervision of the public authoritiesover the insurance industry. Inaddition, the financing of insurancecompanies is based on insurance
premiums that serve as a relativelymore regular resource. Although theyare not affected by the crisis as muchas the other financial institutions forthe time being, insurance companieswill also be inevitably influenced fromthe negative economic conditionsand reduced growth expectations atan increasing extent.
In the last quarter of 2008, thecontraction in the national economyand the stagnation in manufacturing
led by sectors such as textile andautomotive started to be felt. Thehardships particularly in automotivewill be directly reflected in thepremium production of motor owndamage branch. On the other hand,the narrowed lending volumetranslates into non-emergence of neweconomic values, which will impactour industry.
The antidote to the economic crisisis to attract new policyholders...
We believe that crisis period is justthe right time for tapping the bigpotential we frequently refer to. Attimes when wheels stop turning,revenues shrink and businesses postlosses, indemnification gets all themore difficult if a risk materializes.For this reason, we should be able
to clearly communicate to our targetaudience that having insurance coverbecomes more important than everat times of crisis.
As Anadolu Sigorta, our goal in thisperiod is to introduce the segmentof individuals and organizations thatnever have had any insurance cover
to the insurance notion, and to sellnew products while retaining ourexisting customers. For us, theantidote to the economic crisis is toattract new policyholders.
We need to broaden publicawareness of insurance.We recognize our responsibilities asthe leading company of the insuranceindustry. Based on theseresponsibilities, Anadolu Sigorta hasadopted it as a mission to create
enhanced public awareness ofinsurance. We observe that there isstill a huge gap of knowledge aboutthe major returns that can be derivedon minor precautions to be adoptedagainst the negative events thateveryday life has in store for us alllike flood, fire or theft.
Our efforts to develop the dynamicsof the insurance industry and toextend the reach of service solutionsare backed by advertising and
promotional campaigns. In this frame,we successfully realized twoadvertising campaigns on homeinsurance and motor own damageinsurance in 2008.

An Overview of the Economy and the Industry in 2008
Global EconomyThe crisis sustained in the financialservices sector since September2008 and the decline in theconfidence of producers/consumersled to a decrease in the growthrate of global economy. In 2009,developed countries are expectedto experience a contraction in
production which is similar to the onein the post-1929 crisis period. Onanother wing, emerging countries areestimated to exhibit higher growthrates than developed countries,although they will also suffer fromsome deceleration. The global growthrate which was 5.2% in 2007 and3.4% in 2008 is expected to decreaseto 0.5% in 2009.
With 9% increase in GNP, China wasthe greatest contributor to the
development in global economy,
while the same ratio was 7.3% inIndia and 6.2% in Russia. EU and USeconomies grew nearly by 1% in thesame period.
International crude oil prices soaredto a historic high level of over USD140 in July 2008, as a result of theupward move that commenced in
2006 and 2007 due to intensedemand. After the fall in thecommodity demand due to thestagnation and declined growth ratethat followed the onset of the financialcrisis, crude oil prices fell below USD40, matching its price level in 2005,and closed 2008 below USD 39.
Floating around 1.48 in January,Euro/USD parity exceeded 1.60 bylate August due to devaluation of USdollar, a result born out of the fact
that the financial crisis broke out in
the USA. Major policies and measuresenforced by the USA against thecrisis pushed the parity down to1.25 in October. As the actionpackages failed to bring about thedesired results and the crisis startedbearing heavier impact upon themanufacturing industry, the parityrose once again, and adopted a flat
course around 1.40 in December2008.
After the end of crisis which isexpected to get deeper, the periodof low interest rate and high liquidityis anticipated to cease with liquidityand credit crunch, global bankingsector is expected to be restructuredand free market economy is expectedto turn into regulated marketeconomy.
14 Anadolu Sigorta 2008 Annual Report An Overview of the Economy and the Industry in 2008
The impact of the global crisis onthe insurance industry has beenlimited in 2008 compared to the
effect it had on the overall financialservices sector. The industry was affected by thecrisis at a later stage because of the regular income derived
on insurance premiums, cautious attitude of the companies
in their investments, and the legislation that imposes strict
supervisory rules.

Worldwide Insurance BusinessThough the stagnation caused by theglobal crisis combined with liquidityshortage gave rise to significantissues for a part of the financialservices sector, the insuranceindustry was able to get through thefirst phase of the financial crisiswithout suffering from major negative
impacts .

The industry was affected bythe crisis at a later stage because ofthe regular income derived oninsurance premiums, cautiousattitude of the companies in theirinvestments, and the legislation thatimposes strict supervisory rules. Yet,insurance and reinsurance companieswill be inevitably influenced at agreater extent by the global crisis in2009. This was already started to be
manifested from end-2008 in thedeclining credit ratings of internationalinsurance and reinsurancecompanies.
As the global crisis increased itsdepth, the actors in the insuranceindustry started questioning thecorrectness of their assetmanagement strategies, the reliabilityof their financial analysis models andcredit ratings, and the adequacy ofthe provisions they set aside. The
uncertainty of the market led the
insurance companies to act morecautiously both in their investmentsand in their underwriting policies.
The global insurance industrycontinued to expand in 2007 and theglobal premium production hasincreased by 3.3% when comparedto the last year. The greater portion
of this increase was contributed bythe life branch that went up 5.4%,whereas premiums in non-lifebranches rose merely 0.7%.Worldwide premium productiontotaled USD 4,061 billion, with USD2,393 billion generated in life branchand USD 1,668 billion in non-lifebranches.
In 2007, industrialized countriesaccounted for 90% of the globalpremium production, while there was
0.3% decrease in the premiums onnon-life branches in these countries.Bringing their share in globalproduction up to 10%, emergingcountries registered 10% growth inpremiums.
Representing the world's largestmarket in non-life branches,continental America achieved 3.7%increase in premium production in2007. While premium productiondropped by 1.3% in North America,
it increased by 8.3% in LatinAmerican countries. The premiumincrease averaged 0.8% in theEuropean continent. Premiumproduction slightly decreased inWestern Europe but rose 11.7% inCentral and Eastern Europeancountries. As premium productiondecreased 1.6% in Japan, it increased20% and 5.6% in China and India,resulting in the growth of premiumproduction in the Asian continent tobe in the region of 10%.
Total losses caused by the naturaldisasters that occurred in 2008 areestimated to amount to USD 200billion, while insured loss amountwas nearly USD 45 billion. With thesefigures, 2008 has been the third yearwith highest losses after 2005 and1995. The great majority of theselosses resulted from meteorological
events. Such great number ofhurricanes had never occurred beforein the first half of any year, and 2008was marked by weather catastrophesthat particularly hit America. Sixtropical cyclones occurred along theAmerican coasts, with Ike and Gustavbeing the most drastic ones amongthem; insured losses of these twoextraordinary events weredetermined as USD 30 billion andUSD 5 billion, respectively. Scientistsstate that the upward trend in climate-
based risks in relation to globalwarming will continue and furtherincrease in the years coming.
The financial crisis and increasedmeteorological risks also shape theexpectations about Solvency II (EUSolvency Standards), which wasplanned to be enforced in 2010 buthas been postponed to 2012. TheCommittee of European Insuranceand Occupational PensionsSupervisors (CEIOPS) already
announced that Solvency II structurewill need to be reinforced after thecrisis so as to place even greateremphasis on internationalcooperation. Apart from suchmodifications, the overall structureof Solvency II is considered sufficientfor combating crises, and is expectedto add to the financial stability of theinsurance industry in the future.

An Overview of the Economy and the Industry in 2008
Turkish EconomyThe weak course of domesticdemand, coupled with the foreigndemand that slackened because ofthe global credit crisis, negativelyinfluenced the Turkish economy.The marked decline experienced inthe industrial production first inAugust then in September
strengthened the expectations forcontraction in the economy in thethird quarter of the year. Thedownturn in the manufacturing sectorand consumer confidence indices,the downfall in automotive sales, andthe downsizing in employment incertain sectors point out that theslowdown in the Turkish economywill continue in the periods coming.
According to temporary data for thefirst three quarters of 2008, the
Turkish economy grew 3% year-on.The growth in the GDP that stood at6.7% in the first quarter of the yearwith the contribution of the low basein the same period of the prior yearwas realized as 2.3% and 0.5% inthe second and third quarters of theyear, respectively. The decelerated
domestic demand, contracted publicinvestment outlays and the markedloss of pace in private investmentoutlays have been influential in theslowdown in growth in the secondand third quarters of 2008.
Annual consumer inflation stood at10.06% as of December 2008.
Though the increase in food pricesmaintained its high level of the recentyears in 2008, there was somedecline owing to the combined effectof the betterment in domesticproduction and the decrease ininternational prices. As a result of thehigh increases in items other thanfuel oil, energy prices continued togo up despite the significant reductionin oil prices in the last period of theyear. Each of these developmentshas been a factor in the sustained
increase in inflation in 2008, resultingin failure to reach the 4% target.
Based on TURKSTAT (TurkishStatistical Institute) data, exports wentdown 3.1% and imports 4.8% year-on in October 2008, while foreigntrade deficit contracted by 7.6% and
decreased to USD 5.3 billion. Thus,exports and imports declined on anannual basis for the first time sinceFebruary 2002. In the first ten monthsof the year under review, foreigntrade volume stood at USD 293 billionand foreign trade deficit at USD 63billion, and the ratio of exports toimports was 64.4%. The overall
export performance was negativelyinfluenced by the shrinkageexperienced particularly in road motorvehicles and in the textile industry inOctober. There was 20% decline inthe exports to the European Unionduring this period. The contributingfactors to decreased imports inOctober were the decelerateddomestic demand and the decreasein commodity prices, combined withthe devaluation of the Turkish lira. Inthis timeframe, imports contracted
by 13.9% in consumer goods, by12.8% in investment goods and by1.1% in intermediate goods on ayearly basis.
In September, the current deficit wentdown 60.1% year-on to USD 914million. This figure represents the

lowest current deficit since October2005. The deficit in the first ninemonths of the year rose to USD 35.4billion, up 35.6% YoY. As atSeptember, the 12-month cumulativedeficit stepped down from USD 48.4billion in August to USD 47.0 billion.The pronounced decline in the foreigntrade deficit has been influential in
the decline of the current deficit inSeptember. According to the balanceof payments data, foreign trade deficitstood at its lowest since April 2007.The primary factors that led to thisdevelopment are regarded as thedecline particularly in oil prices andthe loss of value by the Turkish lira.
The balance of payments data forSeptember indicate that the currentdeficit might adopt a shrinking trendin the period coming in connection
with the decrease in oil prices,devaluation of the Turkish lira and thedeceleration in domestic demand.Yet, the Turkish economy remainsvulnerable because of the problemsthat might be encountered in thefinancing due to the global creditcrisis.
It is observed that the budgetrealizations are aligned with year-endtargets as of the first ten months ofthe reporting period. Yet, thenarrowed domestic demand becauseof the economic stagnation mighthave a negative impact on indirecttaxes that make up a substantialportion of tax revenues. In addition,
reduced corporate profits might alsoreduce the corporate tax revenues.The developments in budgetexpenditures are also critical due tothe upcoming local elections in 2009.
In its meeting held in November, theCentral Bank of the Republic ofTurkey (CBT) Monetary PolicyCommittee (the Committee) reducedshort-term interest rate by 50 basepoints to 16.25%, and lending interestrate by 100 base points to 18.75%.
The Committee's brief stated thatthe recently announced data point atpronounced deceleration in economicactivity; the issues in internationalcredit markets and global economywill continue to limit domestic andforeign demand for a prolongedperiod of time, and therefore the
movements in exchange rates willhave a limited impact on inflation,and the plunge in oil and othercommodity prices will positively affectthe inflation. In terms of thedevelopments in FX markets, theCommittee drew attention to theimportance of fluidity in the financialsystem and active operation of
lending markets in view of theexisting conjuncture, and along thisline, decided to introduce additionalprecautions on FX liquidity.
At the end of 2008, the course ofexchange rates was affected by theincreased risk perception,deterioration in funding conditions,and the developments in EUR/USDparity. As at year-end 2008, Turkishlira lost value by 34.77% against USdollar and by 17.46% against euro.
Standing at 55,538 points at the onsetof 2008, the ISE National-100 indexclosed the year at 26,864, down51.6% compared with end-2007, inparallel with the developments ininternational asset prices.

Turkish Insurance BusinessHaving consistently achieved agrowth above the inflation in therecent years, the insurance industryentered into a period of standstill in2008 displaying a growth that lagsbehind inflation. TRY 9,600 million innon-life branches as at year-end 2007,premium production expanded 6.24%

The Capital Markets Board
of Turkey accepted internationalaccounting standards and internationalfinancial reporting standards forcompanies traded on the stockexchange... Alignment has been
completed in insurance business andprivate pensions. An independentsupervision agency that will regulatethe insurance and private pensionindustries needs to be set up.
The remark there is partialcompliance with the European Union'sacquis in insurance business and
private pension sector that appearedin the 2007 Regular Report takes placealso in the 2008 Regular Report.
Another important development thatoccurred in 2008 concerning theinsurance industry was the increasein foreign capital inflow into theindustry in a manner similar to theprior year. Following the agreementreached for the sale of 50% stake inAXA Oyak Holding A.fi. to the AXAGroup, TEB Sigorta A.fi. has been
acquired by Zurich Financial ServicesGroup, Ko Allianz Sigorta A.fi. andKo Allianz Hayat ve Emeklilik A.fi.by Allianz, and Ankara Emeklilik A.fi.by Aegon.

to be computed on the basis of thegross premium, without deductingthe commission. Commissionamounts are now followed-up undera separate account using the deferredcommission account.
Equalization provision: This provisionis started to be set aside on credit
and earthquake coverage to equalizethe fluctuations that might arise inthe indemnification ratios in thefollowing fiscal years and to covercatastrophic risks.
Actuarial chain ladder method andoutstanding claims practices: It is setout that the amount of outstandingclaims provision for the current fiscalperiod cannot be lower than theamount calculated using the actuarialchain ladder method described by
the Undersecretariat, and thatsubrogation, residual value and anyother similar income will be deductedin the calculation of outstandingclaims provision.
Provision for unexpired risks: This isstarted to be set aside as a provisionallocated in the event that theprovision for unearned premiumsremains inadequate for the riskborne by the company and for theanticipated expenses in insurancebranches which are considered topresent incompatibility among the
time-dependent distribution of thelevel of risk underwritten duringthe validity of the insurance contractand the premiums earned.
Investment income and expensestransferred to technical division:The distribution of operatingexpenses transferred to technicaldivision takes into consideration thepremium production, the number ofclaims files, and the number ofpolicies.
A standard approach has beenintroduced for determining theamount of investment incometransferred to technical division,
and all income generated on theinvestment of assets coveringtechnical provisions are ensured tobe transferred to technical division.
Within the frame of the MotorwaysTraffic Law no. 2918 and MotorwaysTraffic Regulation, the practice ofReport on Accident Resulting in
Material Damage was begun on 01April 2008, which is to be filled in bythe free will of the involved partiesin traffic accidents that result only inmaterial damage.
The enforcement of the InsuranceAgencies Regulation issued basedon the Insurance Law no. 5684 on14 April 2008 signifies an equallyimportant development for theindustry and for the agencies.
