There are several reasons for reinsurance. Firstly, reinsurance helps insurance companies manage their risk exposure by transferring a portion of their risk to reinsurers. Secondly, it provides financial stability to insurance companies in the event of large or catastrophic claims. Lastly, reinsurance allows insurance companies to underwrite policies with higher limits, which they may not be able to handle on their own.

What are the reasons for government intervention in reinsurance?
The government regulates reinsurance for the same reasons it regulates most insurance: to protect consumers. Government itself can become a reinsurer where the potential for large losses (while unlikely) is too great for an insurer to reasonably risk. The reinsurance by a government entity does not spread local risks throughout the insurance markets, as does private reinsurance. A good example is the US Flood Insurance offered in many areas. This fills the gap between private insurance and the actual risk faced from catastrophic flooding.

Facultative reinsurance and coinsurance?
Facultative reinsurance is a form of reinsurance in which the terms, conditions, and reinsurance premium is individually negotiated between the insurer and the reinsurer. There is no obligation on the reinsurer to accept the risk or on the insurer to reinsure it if it is not considered necessary. The main differences between facultative reinsurance and coinsurance is that the policyholder has no indication that reinsurance has been arranged. In coinsurance, the coinsurers and the proportion of the risk they are covering are shown on the policy schedule. Also, coinsurance involves the splitting of the premium charged to the policyholder between the coinsurers, whereas the reinsurers charge entirely separate reinsurance premiums.
