According to the results of 1H2020, the Moldovan insurance market decreased by 18.53%, to MDL 626.88 million (~EUR 32.24 million*), mainly due to the decline of the non-life sector, while life insurance, on the contrary, recorded GWP increase by 9.8%, as the data published by the National Commission of Financial Market show.

Besides life insurance, almost all insurance segments recorded a drop in volumes y-o-y. Motor insurance GWP, which accounted for about 65% of the market portfolio, declined by about 23% overall. Although MTPL ended the first half of the year positively, this growth did not offset losses in Motor Hull.

Market paid claims decreased to MDL 279.08 million (-19.58%). Many non-life classes recorded annual decline of paid claims; however, property insurance had a significant increase. It is also worth noting rapid growth of paid claims in life insurance, which exceeded 147% y-o-y.
