Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 06/18/2014 --The insurance industry and life segment were adversely affected by the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent economic contraction in 2009, with a rise in policy cancellations and delayed premium payments. The gross written premium registered by the life segment, therefore, registered a decline in 2009. The economic recovery started in 2010 and meant that the life segment was once again on the rise. Domestic consumption is still depressed due in part to the high unemployment rate of 13.4% in 2012. This continues to negatively impact the life segment, which grew at a CAGR of only 0.3% between 2008 and 2012.

Report Highlights

- The life segment is the largest in the Slovakian insurance industry, accounting for 55.1% of the gross written premium in 2012.
- A combined ratio of 90.8% registered by the life segment in 2012 shows that insurers are registering underwriting profits.
- Fraud is rising in the life segment. According to the Slovak Insurance Association, nearly 20% of all claim payments in the country in 2012 involved some fraudulent representation.
- Agencies are the main distribution channel for life segment policies in Slovakia.
- The life segment is concentrated, with the 10 leading life insurers together accounting for 90.9% of the segment's written premiums in 2012.
- As of 2012, 23 companies were licensed to conduct insurance business in the country
