STATISTICS: SLOVENIA, FY2018: market growth driven by UL, health and motor insurance lines
Slovenian insurers ended 2018 with GWP worth EUR 2.34 billion, 7.4% up y-o-y. Unlike in other CEE markets, the Unit-Linked life insurance line had a strong positive contribution to the market growth, which in absolute terms exceeded the motor insurance lines' aggregated input. Health insurance also recorded a significant increase in the GWP volume.

On the claims side, payments made by insurers increased by 5.5%, to EUR 1.58 billion, mostly driven by the claims paid for health and motor insurance. In addition, the property insurance classes had also made a significant contribution to the increasing claims expenses of the Slovenian insurers. In particular, claims paid for the "fire and allied perils" lines went up by almost 23%. Several extreme weather episodes occurred throughout the year, including the severe storm of 8 June, are responsible for most of the paid claims increase.
