Romanian Life Insurance Sector Scrutinised by Timetric in New Cutting-edge Report Published at MarketPublishers.com

23 May 2014 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – Life insurance, the second biggest segment in Romania’s insurance industry, called for just over 20% of gross written premium as of 2012. During 2008–2012, there was a decrease in gross written premium on the back of the 2008 global financial turmoil.  In 2010, the austerity measures like a reduction in salaries of state employees and social welfare benefits, implemented by the government led to a decrease in Romanians’ buying power as well as their ability and willingness to purchase investment products. In 2011, the Romanian economy got back on track, chiefly owing to a marked increase in farm production. During the analysis period, companies active in Romania’s life segment derived benefits from low combined ratios, resulting in underwriting profits. In 2012, there were 19 life insurers in the country. The life segment was extremely concentrated with the 10 dominant companies calling for over 92.5% of the segment’s written premiums in the same year.

Through to 2017-end, the Romanian gross domestic product (GDP) is likely to increase at just over 2.5% CAGR, which is forecast to lead to a gradual surge in life insurance product demand.
