Cooperative Insurance - The Turkish Experience

Although similar structures such as ‘’ahilik’’ – Turkish Islamic guild, ‘’imece’’ – collective work, ‘’vakıf’’ – foundations had been widely and effectively experienced in the Turkish history, the first cooperative in modern context has been established in Istanbul in Cooperative movements were then, widely spread out through out the country, from agriculture to building, from tourism to education. Today, 8 million people are taking the advantage of economic collaboration, being participant of cooperatives operating in Turkey. 15 % of these cooperatives are about agriculture and the rest are about production in other areas, consumption, credit, building, transportation, education and charity. However there is only one insurance cooperative in Turkey. It is Koru Sigorta. Cooperatives in Turkey

According to the Cooperative Law Act. 1163, every participant partner has right to increase his/her share up to 5,000 shares.

Innovation A kiosk prototype was manufactured to produce policy in case of urgent needs. This kiosk may stand in shopping malls, airports or in other public places and can be able to prepare and to print Motor TPL or TCIP or Travel policies to who ever needs

Comparision of the markets In TurkeyIn EUIn USA Market share of Mutuals (%)0,1%26,1%50,0% # of Mutual Companies13.300*1.400 ** * amice-eu.org ** namic.org

Why mutuals are promising? Provide diversity in the provision of insurance services Cost effective and sustainable alternative to shareholder-oriented companies Have proven resilient in times of crises Choice of crowds in favor of mutuals for insuring themselves Mutuals are promising

What should be done? A level playing field should be provided by the legislators. Mutual sector should be recognized as a distinct and important actor to enhance Turkish insurance sector as well as Turkish economy. As a mutual company we should improve our products and spread the idea of mutuality as the core value
