end of the year"
by vlad.boldijar@mxp.ro
Speaking about the main anti-crisis measures that an insurance
company in Romania should take, Radu MUSTATEA, President of
ASTRA Asigurari, stated during the International Markets Day
conference - FIAR 2011 that, "just like all these years, motor
insurance has been the driver of the insurance market, despite
the market depreciation, we have noticed that, in 2010 and
in the first quarter of 2011, the motor segment accounts for
approximately 70% of the total market in Romania and, due to
its majority share, its evolution has influenced the market". |

BIR: Reaching the 2010 level of underwritings will be a
challenge
by andreea.ionete@mxp.ro
"The market has managed to cope quite well with the crisis, but followed
the economic trend. We noticed the declining insurance penetration rate that
went from 1.8% to 1.6% in the GDP, while the average premium dropped from EUR
130 to EUR 95", stated Rangam BIR, General Manager, ALLIANZ-TIRIAC.
According to estimates, Romania is going to get out of the
crisis during this year, but there is always a difference between
the figures and the actual life and behavior of the consumers. |

their own and their families'", stated in the opening of the International Markets
Day, at FIAR 2011, Florina VIZINTEANU, President of the Directorate, BCR Asigurari
