EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 Executive Summary Romania s personal accident and health insurance segment accounted for 4.8% of the industry s gross written premium in 2012. Agencies and brokers were the main distribution channels in the segment, respectively accounting for 44.7% and 22.3% of the gross written premium generated through new business in 2012. Romania was adversely affected by the 2008 financial crisis, but returned to growth in 2011, which is expected to lead to a rise in the demand for the segment s products. At the request of insurers, the government is being lobbied to raise employers tax deductibles on employees health insurance premiums from the present EUR250 (US$347.5) per employee to EUR400 (US$556) or EUR600 (US$834) per employee. If this measure is taken up, the demand for health insurance will increase. Dominance of social health insurance system and rising popularity of private healthcare services Every individual in Romania is entitled to a package of free basic medical services. The social health insurance system is administered by the national health insurance fund, and financed by mandatory monthly contributions, although these are waived for conditions involving emergency surgery, tuberculosis, AIDS or other endemic diseases. The scope for private healthcare and health insurance in the country is, therefore, relatively limited. However, the demand for private healthcare services is rising as a result of the country s deteriorating public healthcare system. Financial recovery launched against Astra Asigurari In February 2014, the Financial Supervisory Authority (Autoritatea de Supraveghere Financiară Autoritatea ASF), the regulator formed in the country in 2013 by merging the supervisory authorities related to insurance, capital markets and private pension markets, announced that it was starting a process of financial recovery against the non-life insurance segment leader: Astra Asigurari (Astra). The ASF also declared its intention to suspend Astra s management and shareholders to aid the recovery. The ASF s president opined that the insurer may not be in a position to meet its commitments if a catastrophe were to take place. Two weeks prior to the announcement, there were media reports suspecting that Astra had deliberately undervalued its claims liability, and that its actual reserves were 40% lower than the mandated level. As a result of the bad publicity and doubts about the company s solvency, many potential policyholders, as well as those whose policies are due for renewal, will not initiate or continue their relationships. This opens up an opportunity for other non-life insurers. Travel insurance category driven by rising number of international departures The number of international departures increased from 749,723 in 2010 to 826,692 in 2012. This increase was responsible for rising premiums in the travel insurance category. High number of road traffic accidents Romania has one of the highest rates of road accidents in the EU, with 11.1 road accident deaths per 100,000 inhabitants in the country in 2010. This is one of reason for the increase in demand for personal accident policies. Personal Accident and Health Insurance in Romania, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017 Page 2
