Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/08/2014 -- The Argentine non-life segment registered growth during the review period (2009-2013), despite several setbacks such as high inflation, which affected commercial lending activities and led to a slowdown in economic growth in 2012. The gross written premium of the non-life insurance segment increased at a review-period compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.8%. This increase was partly due to country's infrastructure development, improving foreign trade dynamics, increasing access to credit, and the expanding automobile industry. Argentine GDP at constant prices grew at a CAGR of 6.0% during the review period, with these factors expected to support the segment over the forecast period (2013-2018). This will fuel Argentina's expanding construction and real estate sectors, which will create additional demand for property insurance.
