The Brazilian insurance sector
cnseg.org.br
The insurance activity The Brazilian insurance sector leads in revenues collection from premiums in Latin America, and occupies the 12th place in the world ranking. As to ensure all underwritten risks, the sector holds assets equivalent to 25% of the Brazilian public debt, representing one of the largest institutional investors in the Country. The sector’s annual revenues from premiums represent approximately 6.5% of the Country’s GPP, including revenues from supplementary health, and 3.6% excluding that segment.
Assets of approximately R$ 1.3 trillion
The insurance sector plays an important role in the Brazilian economy and society as it contributes significantly to the development of infrastructure, the creation of jobs and income, and the accumulation of savings. The insurance market also unburdens Government budget, mostly by offering and maintaining products that provide complementary insurance coverage such as private health insurance and open private pension plans, all with strong potential to support the national agenda of structural reforms required to achieve tax balance, particularly the Social Security reform.
Annual revenue from premiums represents about 6.5% of the GDP
In 2018, the sector paid over R$ 296.5 billion in the form of claims, compensations, surrenders, prize draws, medical and dental expenses. The amount paid to society served, amongst other factors, to offset financial losses, recover businesses, and provide stability to families. Excluding the supplementary health segment, R$ 134.3 billion were paid out, in total.

Insurance Education Program
Insurance Education Program In order to strengthen society’s and policy maker’s knowledge about the insurance sector, CNseg and its four member Federations created the Insurance Education Program in 2016. It’s activities emphasizes the principles of insurance, the risk-prevention culture and the promotion of products to serve the various protection needs of different audiences. At the same time, it aims at securing economic protagonism for the sector in the Brazilian setting and at including it in the macro- and micro-economic policies, as to encourage its more assertive use by society as a whole. The Insurance Education Program encompasses several initiatives that aim at providing better understanding of the products and services offered by insurance companies to society and the executive, legislative and judiciary powers.
“
The various actions in the Insurance Education Program offer contents that allow improving consumers’ choice. Materials of varying degrees of complexity - from booklets, guidebooks and videos to in-depth studies all broaden the range of knowledge that consumers, consumer defense authorities and the executive, legislative and judiciary powers have of the insurance sector, considering that all those stakeholders make decisions that
”
strongly affect insurances and their users.
Marcio Coriolano President of CNseg
Amongst the actions included in the Insurance Education Program, booklets about specific subjects related to the sector stand out, as well as videos on social media and information aired on CNseg Radio and its affiliated radio broadcasters – BandNews FM (RJ, SP and DF), Alpha FM (SP) and JB FM (RJ).
