Interest in Hull Insurance of Vehicles Reduced
Last year's decision of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan to toughen the rules of automobile lending from January 2014 led to reduction in imports of cars by 40% and premiums under the voluntary crediting of the hull insurance of cars.
According to the report of the State Insurance Supervision Service, total premiums for the once most popular kind of insurance in January-May amounted to 10.6 million AZN (minus 7% by May 1 of last year). Respectively decreased the level of payments - to 8 4 million AZN (minus 4%).
In relation to total premiums of the insurance market in January-April (166.01 million AZN) premiums within the hull insurance were 8.6% under 20.9% of payments in the segment of voluntary insurance (life insurance), indicating the gradual loss in that niche. Earlier, this area brought up to 50% of premiums in the insurance market, and all local insurers were busy in it.
Last year the awards of insurers under the hull insurance reduced by 33.5%. By 2013. --17D-

Azerbaijan's financial standing continues to strengthen as the country's foreign currency reserves have surged to $71 billion as of January 1, 2025, according to the Ministry of Finance. This figure, which includes reserves held by the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) and the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA), far exceeds the nation's external debt, which stands at a fraction of its reserves, specifically nearly 14 times less. This robust reserve position reflects Azerbaijan's fiscal stability and the government’s strategic economic management.
