"For the first time in the last three years, the company has increased GWP and immediately by 46.8%, to RUB 155.7 billion. Investment life insurance demonstrated the best results: we updated the product line, were the first to implement the Central Bank's recommendations in terms of checking financial literacy of clients, and increased profitability. We see that credibility of this product is growing. The main challenge for us in 2022 is reorientation of the product line in the light of new regulatory requirements. We will focus on products for private clients. This is what the regulator expects from us. At the same time, we will also offer retail investors new simple and understandable products with high customer value", commented Igor KOBZAR, CEO of SberLife Insurance.
