Claims settled stood at RON74.2 million, 41% more than the RON52.6 million in the first half of 2020, the data the company supplied show.

“We had double-digit growth in the first half and our strategy remains ensuring financial protection of the more than 2.5 milion clients of life insurance and pensions, in the best way possible and in line with their needs,” says Carmina Dragomir, Metropolitan Life CEO.

Metropolitan Life is part of MetLife Inc., one of the largest financial service providers in the world, and the subsidiary of Ireland’s MetLife Europe.

It has been operating on the life insurance market in Romania for more than 22 years and became the second largest insurer on this segment last year, with RON415.4 million gross written premiums, 14.4% higher than in 2019 and 18.7% market share.
