Insurers of Industrial Accidents Paid Only 7% of Collected Premiums
The three companies specializing in the compulsory insurance and disability from accidents and occupational diseases, by December 1, collected 28.6 million manat of premiums (+3.6% to the same period last year).
The spokesman of Azerbaijan Insurance Association Vafa Rustamova told Turan it is a little more than a quarter (27.1%) of the life insurance market. Payments in this segment are at the level of 2 million manat (minus 2.5%).
The ratio of benefits to premiums is 7%, which is an extremely low figure.
The law "On compulsory insurance of disability of individuals from accidents and occupational diseases" came into force on December 16, 2010 after the approval of several legal acts by the Ministry of Finance.
Recall, the life insurance market has three operating companies, PASHA Hayat Sigorta, Ateshgah Hayat Sigorta and Qalahayat Sigorta. -17D-
