Such a difference in growth rates was due to the favorable exchange rate evolution, appreciation by 4.35% y-o-y, as the data of the National Commission of Financial Market in Moldova (CNPF) show.
The shares of life and non-life in the market portfolio are almost the same as a year ago (6.59% and 93.41% accordingly).

Total market paid claims increased by 6.23% y-o-y to MDL 537.53 million (EUR 27.54 million), according to CNPF.
The highest growth of GWP was demonstrated by property insurance (+28.43% in local currency), which accounts for 7.64% of the market, while motor insurance, with 44.35% of the market portfolio, showed rather moderate growth in the local currency of 4.57% y-o-y.
