In terms of gross written premium, the Taiwanese reinsurance segment declined from TWN9.3 billion (US$0.3 billion) in 2008 to TWN8.3 billion (US$0.28 billion) in 2012, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -2.9% during the review period (2008–2012). The negative growth in the segment was partly due to intense competition in conventional insurance segments, resulting in low earnings. Fierce pricing competition among conventional insurers and low profit margins also led to declines in reinsurance premium rates, which subsequently discouraged reinsurance business in Taiwan during the review period.
