The measure aims to protect policyholders’ interests and safeguard the company’s solvency position. According to the regulator, the decision follows identified breaches related to market conduct as well as violations of the Insurance Code.
The restrictions take effect immediately and will remain in place until the company remedies the breaches. The FSC clarified that existing insurance contracts remain unaffected.

- Poland (KNF): Indefinite ban on offering compulsory MTPL insurance from 17 April 2025 due to market conduct concerns;
- Romania (ASF): Indefinite ban on concluding new insurance contracts starting 1 October 2025, also linked to market conduct breaches.
