Insurers' paid claims increased significantly (by almost 17%) to UAH 4.37 billion. The largest part the insurers paid under such classes as Motor Hull, MTPL, medical insurance, fire and other perils. Individual insurers received UAH 2.1 billion, legal entities - UAH 2.2 billion, reinsurers - UAH 58.4 million.
Life insurance profitability remained stable in the first quarter, but margins were lower y-o-y due to higher administrative costs. Non-life insurers recorded near-zero profits and margins. The operating efficiency of non-life insurers is negatively affected by a large portion of costs - about 70% of net insurance premiums. Loss ratios for the quarter remained almost unchanged - at 47% for mandatory and 41% for voluntary insurance.
