Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/31/2012 -- In terms of gross written premium, the Italian life insurance segment was the third largest in Europe, following the life insurance segments in the UK and France in 2010. However, Italian life insurance written premium decreased in 2011 due to the impact of the European sovereign debt crisis, which created financial difficulties for Italian life insurers. Furthermore, Italy's aging population also drew consumer attention towards post-retirement saving products. This will be a significant factor in driving the growth of life insurance over the forecast period.
