Previous issue date: 2011-05-10 / This study investigates the change-over from a closed monopolistic market to an open market for reinsurance in Brazil. The focus has been on premiums, as a price decrease was one of the most anticipated benefits of the new market structure. To compare the price of reinsurance across markets the Combined ratio has been used. When comparing Brazil to the Rest of the World, significantly lower Combined ratios have been observed for 2001 – 2007. In the period 2008 – 2010, after the opening, there seems to have been a convergence of the Combined ratios to world levels. This confirms that reinsurance prices were high in the past, and that a decrease in prices took place since the opening. However these conclusions should be treated with some caution as only 2,5 years of experience is available since the market opening and other factors could have been influencing the observed price development. / Neste estudo investigamos a mudança no Brasil de um mercado fechado monopolista de resseguros para um mercado aberto. O foco tem sido sobre os prêmios, como a queda nos preços foi um dos benefícios mais antecipados da nova estrutura do mercado. Para comparar os preços de resseguro entre mercados o Índice Combinado foi usado. Ao comparar o Brasil ao Resto do Mundo, Índices Combinados significativamente menores foram observados para 2001 - 2007. No período 2008 - 2010, após a abertura, parece ter sido uma convergência dos Índices Combinados com os níveis no mundo. Confirma que os preços de resseguro eram altos no passado, e que ocorreu uma queda nos preços desde a abertura. No entanto estas conclusões devem ser tratados com alguma precaução uma vez que apenas 2,5 anos de experiência está disponível desde a abertura do mercado e outros fatores podem ter influenciado a evolução dos preços observados.
