Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/22/2014 -- The written premium of the Slovenian reinsurance segment increased at a review-period CAGR of 2.7%. Facultative reinsurance was the leading type in Slovenia, supported by insurers' high risk awareness and risk-management techniques. Over the forecast period, with demand for reinsurance high, insurers are expected to cede premiums to both foreign and domestic reinsurers. In addition, as Solvency II directives are expected to be implemented in 2016, the increased capital adequacy requirements are further expected to support demand for reinsurance in Slovenia. Over the forecast period, the reinsurance segment is projected to post a forecast-period CAGR of 4.9%.
