Life insurance recorded a significant fall in the traditional products' side, with GWP decreasing y-o-y by almost 16%, a decline which could not be offset by the 22.6% increase in UL products GWP, given the still low weight of this line in the life insurance portfolio.
Total non-life insurance GWP have increased by 18.07%, to EUR 787.15 million, almost entirely thanks to the 38% advance in the MTPL insurance premiums. Paid claims for non-life contracts went up, overall, by 8.86%, while for the MTPL line alone claims expenses increased by about 20%. At the end of 3Q, the MTPL line's weight in the market portfolio has increased by 6.6 percentage points, to 36.93%.
On the non-life insurance side, the Top 5 ranking established after the first half of the year remained unchanged LEV INS, a company belonging to the Bulgarian Lev Corporation AD, is the market leader, accounting for about 13.5% of the market non-life GWP, while the former non-life leader, BULSTRAD - VIG currently ranks second (11.63% of market share). DZI General Insurance ranks third (10.9% market share) while ARMEEC ranks fourth (10.15%). The fifth-place position belongs to EUROINS (7.83%).
