In the reporting period, the market GWP increased mainly due to the following types of insurance: GTPL (v), Worker against accidents (c), MTPL (c), Financial losses (v), Property (v) and CARGO (v).

At the same time, a tendency of claims growth was seen during the last period, due to the growth of compensations paid on GTPL (v), Property (v), Motor Hull (v), Life insurance (v) and MTPL (c).
