By business segments, the insurance company ended the first nine months of 2019 with over 14% higher gross premiums underwritten on the non-vehicle insurance segment, compared with same period a year before, while gross premiums underwritten on the life insurance segment grew 8%.

The two strategic business lines in Allianz-Țiriac’s portfolio came to generate nearly 50% of the total sales for the first nine months of 2019, compared with 44% in the same period in 2018.

On the non-vehicle insurance segment, the main growth contributors remained health insurance, with a 31% increase, and property insurance, with a 10% increase, compared with the first nine months of 2018.
