Insurance Sector: Discussion
Mr. Seán McGrath:
Again, we would price to a target level of a 6% margin. Somebody who has a claim will get a loading. However, the loading is not going to pay back the claim amount because that would be the given average injury costs or €20,000. One could not possibly get that back from the individual. The insurance works off the fact that the claims of a few are paid by the premiums of many. We price to get an overall margin of 6% across the portfolio.
