Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/27/2013 -- The Maltese insurance industry grew in terms of written premium at a CAGR of 30.9% during the review period. This growth was fuelled by the favorable regulatory framework, stable economic development and an increase in the country's exports. It was further supported by Malta's business-friendly environment, including a low tax regime and direct access to other EU markets. These indicators are expected to remain favorable over the forecast period, and the insurance industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.4% over the forecast period. Malta is treated by global insurers as a gateway to access other EU member states' insurance markets. Companies in the country's insurance industry benefit from passporting rights, which enable insurers to underwrite business anywhere in the EU. This prompted a number of insurers to enter the Maltese insurance industry during the review period.

Key Highlights

- Malta is widely considered as one of the best places in the EU to do business, due to its low tax regime, legislative framework and favorable business environment.
- Malta offers low taxes on insurance premiums, corporate income and shareholder income. It operates double-taxation treaties with over 55 countries, including the US and most EU member states.
- Maltese life insurance providers' growth and profit margins are likely to remain under pressure over the forecast period due to mounting legislation, increasing combined ratios, and the delicate economic environments in the EU and other leading economies.
- A number of multinational companies entered the Maltese insurance industry to underwrite insurance from other EU member states with which Malta has passporting rights.
