Mariusz W. WICHTOWSKI, Keynote Speaker at "IIF 2014 ?€“ Motor Insurance
?€“ The Road Towards Profitability"
"The
combined ratio in MTPL is one of the biggest problems in many countries,
and in many cases is close or even higher than 100%. However, there
are also examples showing that it is possible to have claims ratios
of 90% or even better than that and this is the direction we should
all go," Mariusz W. WICHTOWSKI, President of CoB, stated in a interview for XPRIMM following the 2012 edition of IIF-Motor Insurance
Conference. Two years later, the situation is not much different,
although certain steps towards a better profitability in motor insurance
have been taken.
Mariusz WICHTOWSKI will
give a Keynote speech on the current status and main issues on the
Green Card insurers' agenda at the 2014 edition of the IIF 2014 ?€“ "Motor Insurance ?€“ the road towards profitability", which will take place in Istanbul, on April 6th-7th, 2014.
In this context, transferring the best practices towards the emerging
markets, with the aim of improving the markets?€™ sustainability, remains
a top priority. Thus, the forthcoming edition of the event will once
again provide the perfect opportunity to analyze and identify the
best options for increasing profitability in motor insurance, including
the claims control.
