III Croatia osiguranje d.d. Annual Report of the Company and the Group for 2016 Croatia osiguranje d.d. Annual Report and financial statements for 2016 The insurance market of the Republic of Croatia in 2016 During 2016 the insurance market has been very active and has recorded a total premium growth of 1%, or HRK 72m, which represents a continuation of last year's positive trends in premium market growth. Analytical look into the structure of the premium speaks volumes about turbulent markets and significantly different trends between different types of insurance. So we can say that the past year was a year of growth in health insurance with an increase of 26%, or HRK 80m, while non-life insurance products declined by HRK 14m. In life insurance, the trend of switching from classical life products to those in which the policyholder is exposed to investment risk is noticeable. Thanks to the strong activities of insurers in the sale of new types of products, the market showed a slight increase of HRK 7 million. Total non-life insurance premiums amounted to HRK 5.85 billion, wherein dominate insurance related to motor vehicles – insurance for motor vehicles with a 33% share of the total premium and motor hull insurance with a 14% share. The main cause of the previously mentioned decline of premium is in MTPL, where total premiums fell by 3%, or HRK 58m, which is less than in 2014 when the drop was 15%. At the same time the number of policies sold increased by 3.8% which shows an upward trend in the number policies (the increase in 2015 was 2.7%). The reason for the fall of the total premium is the price drop as a result of liberalization of the MTPL market. The majority of other types of insurance premiums have increased, the biggest changes are observed in casco insurance with 13% growth (HRK 91m), while property insurance fell 2% (HRK 30m).
