I. Abstract
Form BE–45, Quarterly Survey of

Insurance Companies with Foreign
Persons, obtains quarterly data from
U.S. insurance companies that have
engaged in reinsurance transactions
with foreign persons, that have earned
premiums from, or incurred losses to,
foreign persons in the capacity of
primary insurers, or that have engaged
in international sale or purchase
transactions in auxiliary insurance
services greater than $8 million
(positive or negative) for the prior
calendar year or that are expected to be
greater than $8 million (positive or
negative) in the current calendar year.
The data collected are cut-off sample
data. In addition, estimates are
developed based upon previously
reported or estimated data for nonrespondents, including those U.S.
insurance companies that fall below the
reporting threshold for the survey.
The data are needed to monitor U.S.
international trade in insurance
services, analyze its impact on the U.S.
and foreign economies, compile and
improve the U.S. economic accounts,
support U.S. commercial policy on
insurance services, conduct trade
promotion, and improve the ability of
U.S. businesses to identify and evaluate
market opportunities.
