## Research Report: Insurance market in Poland, 2016-2018

In contrast to the general economy, the insurance sector in Poland has hardly benefited from improving situation of households and corporate subjects. While the total gross premium written in non-life business advanced by 4%, the life insurance premium fell by 4% YoY in 2015. Key drivers of recent change in life premium have been changes to the regulatory and tax regime as well as external factors including ultra-low interest rates. The recent growth in non-life premium has been primarily a result of increasing tariffs in car insurance, which was an immediate effect of rapidly growing claims and substantial losses incurred on TPL policies.
