GJENSIDIGE's operations rank 4th in the regional consolidated insurance market of the Baltics, with a 12.5% market share, while the top leader is PZU (24.7%), followed by IF (14.1%) and ERGO (12.8%). GJENSIDIGE's Baltic operations offer general insurance products to private and commercial customers in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. The products are distributed through own channels, agents and brokers. In 2015 GJENSIDIGE aqcuired PZU's business in Lithuania, and is now the 4th largest player pan-Baltic. The Baltics insurance market is immature, and GJENSIDIGE is well positioned for future growth. The largest share of the company's Baltic portfolio is formed by motor insurance (55.8%), while property insurance and the health and accident ionsurance lines account each for about 18.5% of the GWP.
Following the acquisition of PZU Lietuva, GJENSIDIGE is the second-largest general insurance company in Lithuania and the fourth largest player in the Baltic region. An improvement programme including investments in IT systems, product development, tariff programmes, distribution, CRM and claims operation is launched in order to position the Company for expected future growth and improved profitability. The Baltic operation is expected to break-even during 2017 and be profitable from 2018.

"Going forward, we will continue to secure high customer satisfaction, cost efficient operations and at the same time deliver attractive returns to our shareholders," BAASTAD says
