3.1 What are Standard Liability Reserves?
■ Overview
a. Introduced through the revisions to the Insurance Business Law from FY1996.
b. In order to ensure the solvency and retain the soundness of insurance companies, as a rule all insurance companies must accumulate standard liability reserves. This is done by utilizing the funding method (net level premium method) and the actuarial assumptions (standard interest rate and standard life table) set down by the supervisory authorities.
c. The actuarial assumptions at the time of the contract apply until the termination of the contract (lock-in).

■ Standard Interest Ratea. Are calculated every year on the basis of the smaller of the 3-year and 10-year
averages of JGB in consideration of the safety margin corresponding to the level of the subject interest rates.

■ Interest rates applicable for valuation of liability reserves are becoming the rule due to the introduction of standard liability reserves
■ Standard interest rates will not rise all that much in the future・ The current standard interest rate is 1.0%・ The current interest for long-term government bonds is less than 1%
★ If the government bond goes up to 2.5%, “it will be 2021 before standard interest rates rise from 1.0% to 1.5% (roughly 6 years later)”

3.4.1.2 Risk Features of 3rd Sector Product
★ Many “uncertain”, “non-transparent” risk features
1. Unstable rate of incidence・ Due to insufficient long-term and stable data・ Due to fluctuations in risk levels (individual difference) of insured
2. Due to influences of changes in medical technology
3. Due to influences of changes in the structure of diseases
4. Due to influences of public medical care system
5. Consumer trends① Invasion of adverse selection
- Long-term hospitalization in order to claim benefits, unbalanced risks of the insured
② Concentrated risks- In general, contracts do not expire when claims, such as hospitalization
benefits, are made.Insured whose health conditions are bad and require repeated hospitalizations are more likely to continue their contracts

3.4.2 Revisions to Standard Liability Reserve System(Setting Standard Mortality table for 3rd Sector Products)
① Declining national mortality rate (Increasing older population)⇒ worries over deterioration of medical insurance expenditures due to an
increasing older population requiring high rates of hospitalization
② Greater customer needs for 3rd sector products such as health insurance, etc.
One of the actions taken by competent authorities with a view to secure healthier financial positions for insurance companies and provide better protection for policy holders
= Introduction of [3rd Sector Standard Life Table] (Implemented from 2007 Apr.)

3.4.4 Revisions to Medical Insurance Premiums(Company’s Response to Law Revisions)
★ 2007 Apr. With the introduction of the “3rd Sector Standard Life Table”, Medical insurance premiums were revised
★ ① Declining mortality rate ⇒ increased premiums② Shortening of hospitalization ⇒ decreased premiums
<Whole-life type medical insurance>
Premiums trend to increase
<Term-type medical insurance>
Premiums trend to decrease

★ Introduced gradually from 2006
① Confirmation of adequacy of liability reserve using stress tests
② Disclosure・ Disclosure of benefit claim status (ratio of benefit claims to the premium)・ Disclosure of stress test implementations
③ Monitoring by FSA・ Submission of ratio of actual claim rates to assumed claim rates to
competent authorities
④ Securing of implementation of right to change actuarial assumption

3.4.6 Enactment of 3rd Sector Liability Reserve Accumulation Rules
~ Implementation of Stress Test ~
Confirm whether assumed insurance incidence rates applied to insurance premiums duly cover risks of the insurance.
・ Based on actual insurance incidence rates, confirm whether assumed incidence rates used for valuation cover 99% of risks during the test period (10 years in the future).
・ If not sufficient, to top up liability reserves or claim fluctuation reserves.

3.4.7 Enactment of 3rd Sector Liability Reserve Accumulation Rules
~Confirmation of implementation of the right to change actuarial assumption~
1. What is the right to change actuarial assumption?– when the actual incidence rate of the insured event exceeds the assumed
incidence rate considered in pricing and it becomes hard for insurers to pay benefits, insurers have the right to change the actuarial assumption and premium.
2. About the current regulations
① Defined criteria to exercise the right to change actuarial assumption (numeric criteria)
② Explanation of rationality of the assumed incidence rate, and the criteria to exercise the right to change actuarial assumption when selling the insurance.
③ Provision of information on possibility of changes to the actuarial assumption in the future to the policyholders after enrollment,
Generally noted in the policy provisions of insurance with new-type benefits.

3.5.2 Risk management (future balance analysis)
� Standard valuation system is locked in at policy signing.
- It is obligatory to check the adequacy of reserves based on future balance analysis
� Appointed actuaries make that judgment based on IAJ’s “Practical Standards of Life Insurance Company Actuaries.”
- If reserve is lacking, then accumulation is necessary.
- In 2007, additional reserve on whole life policy issued before 1996 was established.
