Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2014 -- The Canadian non-life insurance segment achieved positive growth at a CAGR of 4.9% during the review period, despite a prolonged period of low interest rates, rising household debt, the European debt crisis and weak economic development in the country. The growth in the segment was a result of increased demand for property insurance policies with the robust performance of the Canadian property market, and an increase in the frequency of natural disasters in the country during the review period, which led to substantial losses in the property and casualty lines of business. However, these events increased awareness of the importance of property and earthquake-related insurance, leading to growth in the property insurance category. Reasonable growth in compulsory motor insurance, as a result of healthy car sales, contributed to the overall growth of the non-life segment during the review period.
