Macedonian insurance companies posted combined gross written premiums of
MKD 1.71 billion (EUR 27.7 million) in 1Q2012, up from MKD 1.59 billion
a year earlier, Insurance Supervision Agency figures indicated.
Non-life insurance premiums accounted for 93.5% of the total insurance
premiums (MKD 1.60 billion), while the life insurance segment accounted
for the remainder of the market (MKD 110 million).Overall, the structure of forming GWP in non-life insurance for 1Q2012 is similar with the one for January-March 2011. The only thing that deserves attention is the increase of premiums by 41% in property (fire, allied perils and damages to other property, summed), which is, at the same time, the second most important component in total GWP, after MTPL (almost 39% of total GWP), the Macedonian ISA posted in its quarterly overview of the country's insurance system.
Regarding claims, during January-March 2012, motor vehicle insurance was prevalent in the total paid claims premiums with 71.5% (MKD 504 million of MKD 705 million), of which 51.7% falls out from MTPL insurance and 19.7% from voluntary motor hull insurance. Then follows the accident insurance (with 12.6%), and the property insurance with its share of 11.6%.
