STATISTICS: KAZAKHSTAN, FY2020: the growth of the life sector is twice that of the non-life (in local currency)
As the 2020 market results, published by the National Bank, show, total GWP last year amounted to KZT 568.1 billion (EUR 1.1 billion), which is almost 12% more y-o-y in local currency.

It is worth noting that life insurance grew twice as fast (+18%) as non-life insurance (+9%). At the same time, the share of life insurance in the market portfolio increased, while the share of non-life decreased slightly. In terms of compulsory and voluntary insurance, the largest growth (over 14% y-o-y) was observed in voluntary types, while compulsory insurance had quite a modest growth.

The largest segments of non-life insurance, such as MTPL (+5.7%) and property insurance (+24%) increased, while such segments as accident insurance (almost -14%) and GTPL (almost -27 %) decreased.

Market paid claims significantly dropped y-o-y, to KZT 149.9 billion (~EUR 290 million). Although paid claims in life insurance grew by about 25%, in non-life insurance, on the contrary, they decreased by 37%.

At the end of December 2020, 28 insurance companies operated in the insurance market of Kazakhstan. EURASIA continues to lead the market ranking with a GWP worth KZT 101.2 billion. HALYK moved to the second place, from the third a year ago, while HALYK-Life moved down to the fourth, losing third to NOMAD LIFE.
