BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Defections and internal divisions threaten to cost ruling party election. The switch of five governors from the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the main
opposition All Progressives Congress in November 2013 was followed a month later by the defection of 37 lawmakers from the lower house, thus removing the PDP
majority. The High Court ruled on 31 March 2014 that the parliamentary defectors must vacate their seats, but the issue of President Goodluck Jonathan's candidacy
for the general election in February 2015 will continue to divide opinion within his party and threaten a PDP victory. A change of government would mean contract
renegotiation and regulatory reviews in the key sectors of power, oil and gas, and federal procurement.

IED attack in Abuja underlines Islamists' ongoing ability to cause mass casualties. Around 75 people died after a bomb planted on a vehicle was remotely
detonated at a bus park in the federal capital, Abuja, on 14 April 2014. The intent to cause mass casualties suggests perpetration by Nigeria's Islamist militia, probably
Boko Haram. In March, the group killed at least 50 people at a market near Maiduguri Airport using two vehicle-borne IEDs. Operations by the Joint Task Force against
Boko Haram in the northeast have failed to prevent the group from carrying out such attacks, as well as civilian massacres and assaults on military targets.

Slow progress on Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) likely to delay investment. The long-awaited PIB aims to bring greater efficiency to Nigeria's oil sector, balancing
the country's need to profit from its resources with fostering competition and investment. The current formulation of the PIB has passed a second reading in the Senate
committee, but has again been put out to stakeholder consultation, pushing its implementation date beyond the 2015 election. Governors in northern states have
complained that the proposed increase in revenue allocation to oil-producing states will widen the wealth gap between north and south.

GDP rebasing gives Nigeria prestige of becoming Africa's largest economy. In April 2014, Nigeria's official statistics agency released rebased GDP data – the first
such revision since 1990 – providing a more accurate assessment of the economy. The broad revision puts Nigeria ahead of South Africa with a GDP measure for
2013 of USD 509 billion, 89% higher than the corresponding figure from the now outdated series. The rebasing is likely to assist Nigeria in bond issues planned for
later in 2014.

 Nigeria’s non-life insurance sector: Compulsory insurance polices have been introduced in some classes of the non-life insurance segment, fuelling premium
 growth, while the segment’s penetration grows slowly. An on going challenge for the non-life insurance community is the intense competition between players and the
 evolving regulatory regime.
 Market Players: The number of insurance companies in Nigeria dropped from 103 to 49 after several mergers and acquisitions. The announcement of new capital
 requirements for companies operating the sector in 2005 drove the recapitalization efforts. Improvements were seen in the Nigerian insurance sector, through an
 increase in the volume of activities, better public awareness, business expansion, an environment for players to penetrate domestic markets and expand into regional
 markets, and stricter supervisory regulation and control.
 Outlook: The Nigerian insurance market is being driven by mandatory third-party motor insurance, and this growth momentum is expected to steadily increase as
 compliance for compulsory motor insurance level grows. The enforcement of compulsory insurance policy by NAICOM will also serve as a near term growth catalyst.
 Nigeria’s rapidly improving financial sector and growing wealth for the population is linked to expectations of insurance premium growth in the long term.

APPENDIX
MACRO-ECONOMIC & BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT DATA
    Source: IMF (www.imf.org/external/data.htm), World Bank (http://data.worldbank.org/), IHS Global Insight.
    Notes: GDP data on size and wealth of the economy is reported in Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) terms; this is the most accurate indicator of the true standard of living in
    each country and therefore potential demand. To calculate this, GDP is converted from local currency to an international $ currency using PPP exchange rates rather than the
    market exchange rate. The PPP local currency-to-international $ exchange rates are determined such that a standard basket of goods has the same price in international $
    terms in each country. This adjusts for the differing costs of goods across countries, when converted at market exchange rates.

INSURANCE MARKET DATA
    Source: Reported data derived by Lloyd’s Market Intelligence team; original source is regulatory bodies, associations, third party information providers.
    Notes: Data is reported in US$. For more information, see www.lloyds.com/comparecountries.
    Exchange Rates Note: Where required, data has been converted to US$ using annual average exchange rates as per www.oanda.com.

LLOYD’S PREMIUM DATA
    Source: Reported data derived by Lloyd’s; original source is Xchanging (data therefore contains only premiums processed by Xchanging).
    Notes: Data is reported is US$, on a calendar year basis and is signed gross premiums. This differs from the data published in the Lloyd’s Annual Report, which is also on a
    calendar year basis, but is written gross premiums and sourced directly from Syndicates. Differences are therefore (1) timing inconsistencies between signed and written gross
    premiums; (2) inconsistent use of exchange rates by Syndicates and Xchanging; & (3) incompleteness of Xchanging data set for certain classes of business (a substantial
    amount of premium is not processed by Xchanging and missing from the REG 258 data set; this comprises, for example, UK Motor).
    Exchange Rates Note: Data has been converted to US$ using monthly exchange rates provided by Xchanging.
    Definitions:
      Gross Signed Premiums: Original and additional inward premiums, plus any amount in respect of administration fees or policy expenses remitted with a premium but
      before the deduction of outward reinsurance premiums.
      Calendar Year: Relates to the calendar year in which the premium, additional or return, is processed by Xchanging. This is irrespective of the actual underwriting year of
      account, which is determined by the inception date of each risk.
      Country of Origin: Denotes the domicile of the insured party (i.e. the coverholder or policyholder). This is the country from which demand for the insurance / reinsurance
      emanates, & is irrespective of the country to which the risk is classified for regulatory reporting purposes.
      Example: A policy holder in the UK insuring a holiday home in France would be classified as a UK risk by “Country Of Origin”, but “French” for regulatory reporting
      purposes. Similarly a risk incepting on 1st December 2007 would be classified at 2007 “Underwriting Year of Account” but may not be processed by Xchanging until 2008
      and so be allocated to the 2008 “processing year”.
