Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/24/2013 -- Poland is one of the fastest-growing economies in Central and Eastern Europe. The country's life insurance segment registered a decrease in written premiums at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.9% during the review period (2008-2012). This was primarily due to the global financial crisis in 2009 and the EU debt crisis in the following years. However, these events did not have a significant impact on the overall segment as it recovered after the global financial crisis, supported by the country's stable economic development. Recovery was partly due to the growth of group insurance and unit-linked product sales. Over the forecast period, the life insurance segment is expected to benefit from the product innovations introduced by insurers, and changes in Poland's social security and pension system which are likely to generate business for life insurance and savings products.
