The total collection of premiums of the insurance market participants amounted to 207,630,000. There was paid 74.54 million AZN at a ratio of 35.9%. Given the fact that until 2013 the insurers paid up to 20%, this is a good result.
There is a growing burden on the three local life insurance companies, which by June 1 formed 27.61% of the total fees (57.33 million manats) with 37.74% of the total payments (25.15 million AZN). This is also a big step forward - before payment in this segment accounted for between 5% and 10%. And the reason is one - local companies want to be like Europe, where the share of life insurance is up to 60%.
