Methodological note
The Statistical Insurance Bulletin is based on annual data that the SIA has obtained
from its members. According to estimates, the aforementioned data accounts for
99% of the Slovenian insurance market.
The chapter regarding pension insurance also takes into account data obtained from
other companies involved in the pension insurance segment. The Slovenian pension
insurance market is thus presented in full.
If other data sources are used, this is stated separately in the text, tables and graphs.
Data collection was completed on 13 June 2014.
Unless otherwise stated, all data in this publication refer to Slovenia.
The unit of currency used in this publication is the euro. The exchange rate 239,64 SIT
= 1 EUR was used to convert the domestic currency to euros for the period prior to the
introduction of the euro. The conversion is in accordance with the practice of SORS.
Growth rates are calculated as the ratio of data for the selected year to data for the
previous year, without taking into account inflation.

Foreword
From the beginning of the 1990s until 2008, the Slovenian insurance sector recorded
high growth, which exceeded general economic growth. Insurance companies disclosed
deteriorating operating results with the outbreak of the financial crisis. Collected
premiums, however, continued to rise due to the relatively small proportion of premiums
accounted for by life insurance. The adverse economic conditions continued in 2013 and
also affected the Slovenian insurance market. Increasing illiquidity, numerous corporate
bankruptcies and rising unemployment have led to lower demand for several years.
Insurance is a service that consumers forgo relatively quickly. Initially, this was only seen
in the life insurance sector. Last year, however, that trend was more evident in the nonlife insurance sector. Total premiums collected by insurance companies were down 3.7%
on the previous year.
Nevertheless, members of the SIA have not reported any major problems in their
operations. Competition continues to tighten across the entire insurance market.
In the context of efforts to increase their market shares, primarily smaller insurance
companies have recorded positive growth, although they continue to contribute little to
reducing market concentration. The five largest insurance companies account for 77.5%
of the market. Since Slovenia joined the EU and following the introduction of the euro,
there has been a notable increase in interest on the part of EU insurance companies
to establish business in Slovenia. After ten years as an EU Member State, the presence
of EU insurance companies in Slovenia is not yet worthy of note, nor have the latter
had a significant impact on domestic insurance companies. In recent years, insurance
companies that provide services directly have only collected around 1% of the gross
written premiums of the entire market, similar to the branches of foreign insurance
companies. The Slovenian insurance market falls somewhere in the middle in terms of
development relative to other European countries. However, this is not true for the life
insurance sector, as this insurance class achieves a smaller proportion of total premiums
in only a few EU countries. Contributing to this fact are both a decline in household
disposable income and a low propensity for and lack of confidence in these forms of
insurance on the part of the population. Nevertheless, it is in this segment where the
greatest potential for the development of the Slovenian insurance market lies.
Membership in the EU brings considerable obligations in all financial spheres, including
the insurance sector. The Solvency II Directive is becoming an important link in the
operations of insurance companies. Last year the EIOPA issued preparatory guidelines,
which in the interim period until 2016 are meant to ensure that individual insurance
companies and supervisory bodies are as well-prepared as possible for new rules
governing the management, measurement and control of risks. This transition is a major
task and requires a great deal of preliminary preparations and costs.
The Slovenian insurance sector accounts for 5.6% of GDP and directly employs more
than 6,000 workers. If we also take into account at least that many insurance agents
and brokers, the role of the insurance sector and its social responsibility are that much
greater. The insurance sector must therefore be perceived as an important link in society
in the search for appropriate solutions for a welfare state that are tailored to its citizens
and in line with European policies.

1. Slovenian economy in 2013
The recession continued in Slovenia in 2013. GDP
contracted by 1.1%, while unemployment and the
poverty rate were up and the standard of living was
down. Nevertheless, domestic demand is gradually
stabilising. Companies have been forced to channel
their sales abroad due to the domestic economic
crisis, which is reflected in growth in merchandise
exports. Once again last year numerous companies
encountered liquidity problems, which had an
adverse impact on banks as their largest creditors.
The new government, which began functioning at the
beginning of 2013, drew up a plan to strengthen the
economy. However, the objectives of the plan were
not met. The general government deficit rose sharply,
as did general government debt.
GDP continued to contract to stand at EUR 35bn
expressed in current prices, down 1.1% on the
previous year. GDP per capita measured in current
prices was well below the average for EU Member
States. It was down slightly to stand at EUR 17,128 or
USD 22,748.
The general government deficit had risen by a
factor of 3.7 by the end of 2013 to stand at EUR
5.2bn or 14.7% of GDP, the highest since Slovenia’s
independence. General government debt in the
amount of EUR 25.3bn reached 71.7% of GDP. The
sharp growth was primarily the result of measures to
stabilise the banking system.
Industrial production was down 0.7% on average in
2013 relative to the previous year. The first half of the
year was characterised by a drop in production, while
that trend came to a halt during the second half of
the year. Sales revenue was down 1.5% relative to
2012, while inventories were down 3.5%.
Merchandise exports and imports were up during
the year. Exports in the amount of EUR 21.6bn
reached their highest level in the last five years, while
imports in the amount of EUR 22.2bn were up 0.6%.
The merchandise trade deficit stood at EUR 541.1m
for the period, while the coverage of imports by
exports was 97.4%, up 2 percentage points on 2012.
Three quarters of exports and imports were with EU
Member States.
Inflation was down 2 percentage points on the same
period in 2012 to stand at 0.7% in December 2013,
below the euro area average.
The average gross wage was down EUR 2.3 last year
to stand at EUR 1,523. The average net wage was up
0.6% to stand at EUR 997 or 65% of the gross wage.
Despite a reduction in wages in recent years, the
public sector continues to record a higher average
gross wage (EUR 1,741 in 2013) than the private sector
(EUR 1,404).
The unemployment rate has risen constantly
over the last five years to stand at 13.1% last
year, translating to 119,827 unemployed persons.
Despite an increase in the number of new hires,
the registered unemployment rate was up 8.8%
on the previous year. One half of job seekers are
younger than 30 years of age. The majority of those
unemployed have been out of work for more than
one year, while 40% have a primary or secondary
school education. Their education level is highly
incompatible with the types of job vacancies.
Under pressure from the continuing recession, the
banking sector reduced its lending activity in 2013,
when an increase was seen in income and interestrate risks. The process of rehabilitating certain
banks and the transfer of non-performing claims to
the Bank Asset Management Company in December
resulted in a notable improvement in the situation
in the banking sector. Year-on-year growth in total
assets was negative for the fourth consecutive year
(−12.3%), while total assets declined by EUR 5.7bn
to stand at EUR 40.4bn.
The Ljubljana Stock Exchange recorded moderate
growth in 2013. The Slovenian SBI TOP rose for the
second consecutive year, by 3.17%. Turnover on
the stock exchange was up 8.7% to stand at EUR
392m, with trading in shares accounting for 76% of
turnover. The market capitalisation of all shares on
the Ljubljana Stock Exchange was up in 2013 to stand
at EUR 5.2bn.

Slovenian economy in 2013
2. Slovenian Insurance Association in 2013
With 14 employees, the SIA had a challenging 2013 financial year. In addition to
standard tasks, changing legislation and newly launched projects also affected the
work of employees. As in several previous years, the introduction of pension legislation
and healthcare reform were again at the forefront. The SIA worked with the competent
ministries in both areas. The effort to preserve supplementary health insurance
continues.
The deadline for introducing the Solvency II Directive has been extended, but the
EIOPA issued preparatory guidelines last year with which insurance companies and
reinsurance companies will have to comply. Based on the ISA’s framework principles
regarding the transposition of the aforementioned regulations into Slovenian
law, the SIA focused on the introduction of key functions in the operations of
insurance companies. New requirements and activities have also been imposed by a
transnational agreement on the implementation of the provisions of the US’s Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).
The deteriorating economic conditions also affected the attitude of users to insurance
services. In particular, attention was brought to problems with the transparency of
life insurance products and insufficient advice provided by insurance agents in the
sales process. For this reason, the SIA launched a new website last year aimed at
informing the general public about the importance of the insurance sector. In addition
to statistical data and publications, the electronic periodical journal Zavarovalniški
horizonti (Insurance Horizons) is now available to the professional public. Moreover,
the SIA continues to educate insurance agents and brokers, and organise various
seminars for its members.
The SIA actively worked with international institutions such as Insurance Europe, the
Council of Bureaux and with the insurance associations of other European countries
with the aim of improving cooperation to the benefit of its members.

4. Employees in 2013
Employment has fallen gradually in the insurance sector in recent years in the context
of the general recession. Insurance companies that are members of the SIA employed
6,079 people in 2013, a decrease of 73 or 1.2% on the previous year and 4% less than
in 2008, when the highest number of employees (6,331) was recorded. Reinsurance
companies had 116 employees last year, a decrease of 1.7% relative to the previous
year. We therefore assess that around 15,000 people work in the insurance sector,
including the 6,888 insurance agents and 1,929 insurance brokers who have passed
the SIA test to date.
Women have accounted for the majority of employees at insurance companies since
2005, when this statistic was first monitored. At the end of 2013, there were 3,529
women (58%) and 2,550 men (42%). The educational structure of employees is
improving, as the number of employees with at least a post-secondary education rises
each year. The latter accounted for more than one half (53%) of employees during the
financial year, the majority of them (2,103 or 35% of all employees) having achieved a
higher education or university degree. Evidence of the improving educational structure
is the constant rise in the number of employees holding a master’s degree relative to
other formal levels of education, the number of such employees having risen by 16%
in the last year. At 72%, the proportion of employees with at least a post-secondary
education was even higher at reinsurance companies. However, that number is
gradually declining.
In 2013 a total of 3,218 or 53% of all employees were involved in selling insurance, the
highest number in absolute terms to date, although the aforementioned proportion
has fallen steadily in recent years, with the exception of 2012. Counter sales and sales
via telephone and the internet are mostly made by women, while men account for the
majority of insurance agents. The number of sales staff exceeded the number of other
employees last year for the first time since such data has been monitored. However,
that number fell for the second consecutive year to stand at 2,861.
The majority of staff at insurance and reinsurance companies are employed on
permanent contracts, and are loyal to their employers. Insurance companies released
560 workers or 9.3% of total employees in 2013, a decrease of 22.8% on the number of
departures the previous year. There were 625 new hires, while the ratio of new hires to
the average number of employees was 10.4%.
The total number of hours worked by employees at insurance companies is declining in
conjunction with the declining number of employees. Taking into account total hours
lost due to illness and injury, the number of effective hours is even lower. A total of
437,000 hours were lost last year due to illness and injury, representing 3.62% of total
hours worked. That proportion has fallen over the last two years, while the situation
is exactly the opposite at reinsurance companies, where the total number of hours
worked has risen.

5. Insurance and reinsurance activities in 2013
The insurance and reinsurance activities of SIA members have contracted in recent
years as a reflection of the general economic crisis in Slovenia. Social pressures
increasingly result in a contraction first in life insurance and then non-life insurance
classes. The decline in gross premiums collected over the last several years was
followed by a drop in claims last year. The impact of the unfavourable economic
environment is reflected indirectly in the reinsurance activity. Due to the contraction
in insurance transactions, insurance companies have allocated fewer funds for the
reinsurance of their own risks. As a result, the proportion of the insurance activity
accounted for by reinsurance transactions fell to 10.8% in 2013, the level recorded in
2008.
The presentation of the insurance and reinsurance activities of SIA members is based
on the annual data provided by the latter. The data presented below may differ from
cumulative data collected on a monthly and quarterly basis, but are the most complete
and reliable because they were processed last. Data from insurance companies that
are not members of the SIA are not included.

5.1. Insurance activities
The unfavourable economic conditions have had a delayed impact on the insurance
activity. Given the declining number of active and solvent companies and diminishing
consumer purchasing power, a gradual decline in gross premiums collected is
expected. The latter totalled EUR 1,978m in 2013, down 3.7% on the previous year and
below EUR 2bn for the first time since 2007. This result is primarily due to several years
of negative growth in life insurance transactions. Life insurance premiums totalled
EUR 553m in the context of a 7.4% decline. On the other hand, non-life insurance
has recorded positive growth with the exception of 2010, while a decline of 2.2%
was recorded last year. Gross non-life insurance premiums totalled EUR 1,425m. Life
insurance accounted for 28% of total gross insurance premiums collected.
Gross insurance premiums as a proportion of GDP totalled 5.6% last year, the lowest
figure in the last five years. Slovenia spent an average of EUR 960 per capita on
insurance last year or EUR 39 less than the previous year. Insurance density thus fell to
the level recorded in 2007 and 2008.
After rising for several years, claims paid were also down last year, by 2%, to stand at
EUR 1,360m. The aforementioned decline was primarily the result of negative growth in
life insurance benefits of 9.6%, while non-life insurance claims were up 1.6% to stand
at EUR 970m. The claims ratio for the insurance activity deteriorated again in 2013, by
1.2 percentage points to stand at 68.8%, with the life insurance claims ratio falling to
70.8% and the non-life insurance claims ratio rising to 68%.
The proportion of gross premiums accounted for by specific insurance class have
remained virtually unchanged in recent years. Life insurance has placed first for
several years. At 24% last year, health insurance ranked second in terms of insurance
premiums collected, followed by two types of motor vehicle insurance, which ranked
third and fourth (liability and casco at 12% and 11% respectively). The latter are then
followed by fire, and other damage and accident insurance, while other insurance
classes account for only a small proportion. Life insurance, including pension
insurance, is prevalent among personal insurance classes, while health insurance
accounts for one quarter less gross premiums collected.
Nine insurance companies are under majority foreign ownership. The latter generated
12.8% of insurance premiums written and are strongest in the life insurance segment
where they hold a 26.5% market share. Zavarovalnica Triglav, d. d., continues to hold
the highest market share at 30.5% of total insurance premiums written, followed by
Adriatic Slovenica, Zavarovalna družba d. d., and Vzajemna, d. v. z.

5.1.2. Life insurance
Life insurance is marketed by 13 members of the SIA. From their own data, it is
evident that there has been a significant drop in life insurance in recent years,
which is particularly noteworthy following high previous growth that even reached
double digits. Life insurance types were the first to suffer a decline within the overall
insurance sector. At EUR 553m, insurance premiums collected were down again on the
previous year in 2013, by EUR 44m, and were comparable with the premiums collected
in 2006.
Life insurance accounted for 28% of total insurance premiums collected last year,
down 1 percentage point on the previous year. Slovenia spent an average of EUR 269
per capita on this type of insurance or EUR 40 less than in 2012 and the lowest amount
of the last five years. Life insurance as a proportion of GDP totalled 1.6%.
More than one half of premiums, or EUR 258m, were generated by unit-linked life
insurance, while slightly less was generated by standard life insurance. Other types
of insurance account for only a small proportion of the total or less than 3% of life
insurance premiums. Negative growth can been seen in all insurance types, with
the exception of traditional forms of life insurance. There has been no occurrence of
tontine insurance types or loss of income insurance due to accident or illness since
the definition of the aforementioned insurance types under the Insurance Act of 2000
and 2004.
Despite the decline in premium, gross benefits paid rose until 2013, when a decline
(of 9.6%) was recorded for the first time. Insurance companies paid out EUR 392m in
benefits to policyholders during the aforementioned year, the majority from traditional
types of life insurance, where the amount paid out was actually up due to the
expiration of long-term contracts. Other benefits paid were down. The overall claims
ratio for life insurance stood at 70.8% in 2013, an improvement of 1.9 percentage
points on the previous year.

5.1.2.1. Pension insurance
result, the average annual amount earmarked by a
policyholder for the premium payments was down
EUR 59 to stand at EUR 471.
According to the law, pension insurance is divided
into three pillars. Our statistical presentation
includes the second and third pillars, i.e.
supplementary pension insurance and voluntary
pension insurance. The data have been obtained
directly from all providers (including those that
are not members of the SIA), and include both
compulsory and voluntary supplementary pension
insurance.
Similar to the majority of other insurance types,
the volume of pension insurance premiums has
declined gradually in the context of the recession.
Awareness about the falling amount of pensions from
compulsory insurance and about the importance of
supplementary pension insurance has increased.
However, fewer people are prepared or able to pay
supplementary premiums due to social pressures.
The number of policyholders included in the second
pillar was down by 4.4% in 2013 relative to the
previous year, while premium was down 15%. As a
The market share of SIA members that provide
supplementary pension insurance fell by 5
percentage points to stand at 43.7%, while the
market share of banks and pension companies rose
by the corresponding amount. Worthy of note is the
significant, 39.4% decline in benefits paid to stand at
EUR 214m, which is likely in part linked to the decline
of one half in the number of cancelled insurance
contracts relative to the previous year.
The volume of third-pillar voluntary pension
insurance is significantly lower than second-pillar,
but it also recorded negative growth in 2013.
The number of policyholders fell by 9%. Collected
premiums totalled EUR 8m, down 22.9% on 2012.
At 9.4%, the decline in claims paid (totalling EUR
13,200m) was less severe.

5.1.3. Non-life insurance
In the context of a decline in life insurance in recent years, growth in non-life insurance
has contributed to the relatively stable operations of the insurance activity. Premiums
of EUR 1,425m were collected for 18 types of insurance, representing 72% of total
insurance premiums. Non-life insurance as a proportion of GDP totalled 4%. Slovenia
spent an average of EUR 692 per capita on this type of insurance last year or EUR 17
less than the previous year.
Non-life insurance recorded negative growth (of 2.2%) again in 2013 after several
years, which had a significant impact on total insurance premiums collected. Only
eight insurance types from this group recorded growth in the latter. The strongest type
in terms of collected premiums is health insurance, which generated one third of total
non-life insurance premiums. Following in second and third place were motor third
party liability insurance which, despite a decline, accounted for 17%, and land motor
vehicle casco insurance, which accounted for 16% of this insurance group. At 24%,
aircraft and suretyship insurance recorded the highest growth, while aircraft liability
insurance recorded the sharpest decline, of 18%.
Gross claims paid in the amount of EUR 969m were up 1.4% on the previous year.
Growth was by far the highest (245.9%) in the aircraft insurance segment due to
certain major loss events. The largest decline was recorded in suretyship insurance,
where loss events were down 69%. Due to their small scope, however, they had no
impact on total non-life insurance claims. Because premiums recorded negative
growth and claims recorded positive growth, the claims ratio for this particular type of
insurance deteriorated by 3 percentage points relative to the previous year to stand at
68%.
Numerous types of compulsory insurance are included in the non-life insurance
segment. The scope of such transactions varies, with very few insurance policies
concluded over the entire period for the majority of compulsory insurance types. Total
premiums were down 8.2% in 2013 to stand at EUR 244m. Compulsory insurance in
traffic accounted for 98% of the aforementioned amount, as well as the majority of
claims paid.
Of particular importance in the non-life insurance segment is natural disaster
insurance. Natural disasters are typically large in scope. Claims are thus high and
impact several types of insurance. Because natural disasters affect a larger portion of
the population and the corporate sector, such data are particularly interesting. Claims
statistics vary from year to year and are largely dependent on major loss events. The
majority of claims are always handled in the scope of fire and housing insurance, land
motor vehicle casco insurance, and crops and fruit insurance.

5.1.3.1. Accident insurance
The 13 SIA members that sell accident insurance
wrote total premiums of EUR 96m in 2013, a decrease
of 5% relative to the previous year. After declining
for several years, the aforementioned amount is
comparable with the figure from 2005. Accident
insurance ranks seventh in the overall insurance
portfolio, if the total value of the life insurance class
is taken into account. Personal insurance against
accidents at and outside regular work generates
half of total accident insurance premiums, while
insurance against bodily injury for vehicle owners
and drivers also accounts for a significant proportion
(32%). Similar to premiums, the value of claims paid
was down EUR 1m on the previous year to stand at
EUR 34m. The claims ratio for accident insurance
deteriorated to 35.6%.

5.1.3.2. Health insurance
At 24%, health insurance accounts for the second
highest proportion of the entire insurance market.
In the context of a 2.9% increase, five insurance
companies generated premiums of EUR 482m in
2013, the highest total to date. This insurance class
has recorded continuous positive growth, except in
2010 when a slight decline was recorded. Copayment
health insurance plays a vital role, accounting for
98.4% of this insurance class. The importance of
this insurance continues to rise in the context of a
contraction in the coverage of healthcare costs by
the state-owned insurance company. There was also
a 3.8% rise in the value of benefits paid, which stood
at EUR 415m last year. The claims ratio for health
insurance deteriorated to 86.21% due to a more
significant rise in benefits than in premiums.

5.1.3.3. Land motor vehicle insurance
Motor vehicle insurance is one of the most
important classes in the insurance sector. Land
motor vehicle insurance ranks fourth in terms
of insurance premium (market share of 11.4%).
Seven members of the SIA underwrote this type of
insurance in 2013, collecting total premiums of EUR
226m. Given the growth in the number of insurance
policies underwritten over the last several years,
it can be concluded that falling sales of new cars
has had no impact on demand for casco insurance.
Nevertheless, premiums were down for the second
year in a row, by 5.4% in 2013. The average premium,
which totalled EUR 90 last year, has also been in
decline for several years. On the other hand, gross
claims paid were up 1.2% in the context of an
unchanged number of loss events. The claims ratio
deteriorated as a result to stand at 78.2%.

5.1.3.4. Railway rolling stock insurance
Only two insurance companies sold railway
rolling stock insurance in 2013. This is one of the
smaller insurance classes, with a small number
of underwritten policies, which has generated
insurance premiums of around EUR 2m for several
years (except in 2010). Very few insurance policies
are underwritten. Thus, the average insurance
premium totalled EUR 15,010 last year. There are
also very few loss events, which could otherwise be
extremely large. The average claim paid last year was
EUR 17,747. Total claims paid have totalled around
EUR 1m for several years, while 2012 and 2013 (EUR
2.8m) stand out due to major railway accidents. The
claims ratio (which last year deteriorated slightly to
stand at 117.5%) and the claims frequency (99.4%
last year) fluctuate significantly from year to year.

5.1.3.5. Aircraft insurance
Aircraft insurance represented the smallest
insurance class in the non-life insurance segment
in 2013. Six insurance companies provide such
insurance, and together generated insurance
premiums of EUR 0.8m last year. That figure has
fallen by one half in recent years, while the number
of insurance policies underwritten has fallen by one
third. The number of loss events has been very low
over the years, while loss events resulting in high
gross paid claims do occur on occasion. The latter
totalled EUR 0.4m in 2013 and did not exceed the
average of the last ten years by much. Due to the
small amounts, a single loss event can contribute to
a sharp increase in claims paid. That increase was
245.9% last year. In terms of the claims ratio, aircraft
insurance has ranked as one of the best insurance
types across all years (usually below 20%).
Individual years stand out due to certain major loss
events. Last year, the claims ratio deteriorated to
48%.

5.1.3.6. Ship insurance
Five insurance companies collected EUR 1.2m in ship
insurance premiums in 2013, ranking this insurance
class 16th on the entire insurance market. Despite its
small size, this class is affected significantly by the
economic situation. It recorded growth until 2009,
when nearly EUR 2m in premiums were collected, but
has been in decline ever since (last year by 11.8%).
Claims are closely correlated with loss events, which
also affect the claims ratio due to the frequently high
amount of claims paid. The average premium was
merely EUR 265 in 2013 compared with an average
claim paid of EUR 3,563. There was a slight decline
of 2.8% in the value of claims paid, while the claims
ratio deteriorated to 106.5%.

5.1.3.7. Goods in transit insurance
Goods in transit insurance is sold by seven insurance
companies, which through this type of insurance
collected EUR 7.9m in 2013 in insurance premiums.
This ranks this insurance class eleventh in the overall
insurance portfolio. There have been occasional
declines in insurance premiums collected in recent
years, with sharp declines recorded in 2009 and
again in 2013 (by 10%). The decline in 2009 was
primarily the result of a contraction in the transport
sector, while growth was recorded in goods transport
last year in Slovenia. Thus, the reasons for the most
recent decline must be sought elsewhere. Claims
paid were down sharply last year (38.9%). This
resulted in an improvement in the claims ratio, which
at 19.2% was the fourth best result on the overall
insurance market in 2013. However, goods in transit
insurance records one of the worst claim frequencies
in the non-life insurance segment. That indicator has
improved considerably over the last two years, and
stood at only 35% last year, one half of the figure
recorded in 2009.

5.1.3.8. Fire and natural forces insurance
As the sixth largest insurance type (5.7% market
share), fire insurance ranks as one of the most
important insurance types, generating more
than EUR 100m every year. This insurance type is
underwritten by nine insurance companies that
generated EUR 112 in insurance premiums in 2013,
fire insurance outside industry and crafts accounting
for 66% of that amount. Positive growth has been
recorded for several years, but was minimal last
year at merely 0.8%. The number of loss events was
up last year, while claims paid totalled EUR 54.6m
in the context of a 17% increase. Because growth
in claims exceeded growth in premiums, the claims
ratio deteriorated by 6.8 percentage points to stand
at 48.8%. When comparing the average premium
of EUR 98 with the average claim paid of EUR 1,225,
the benefit that this insurance type brings to the
policyholder in the case of a loss event is obvious.

5.1.3.9. Other damage to property insurance
With a large number of insurance types that generate
a 6% share of the entire insurance market, other
damage to property insurance represents the fifth
largest insurance class, which collected insurance
premiums of EUR 118m, a decrease of 6.1% on the
previous year. A negative growth trend was seen
for the fourth consecutive year. With a share of
45%, household insurance is predominant in this
insurance class and, in contrast to the majority of
other insurance types, maintained premiums at the
level recorded in 2012. The nine insurance companies
that sell these types of insurance paid a total of EUR
65m in claims last year, a decrease of 14% relative
to the previous year. The overall claims ratio for
this insurance class improved to 55.2%, while home
assistance insurance recorded the best claims ratio
among all insurance types, at 4.9%.

5.1.3.10. Motor vehicle liability insurance
At EUR 242m or 12% of total collected premiums,
motor vehicle liability insurance represents
the third largest insurance class and is sold by
seven insurance companies. Nearly all of the
aforementioned amount, or EUR 237m, was
generated by compulsory motor third party liability
insurance, which represents the most important
compulsory insurance type on the Slovenian
insurance market, with insurance companies
generating the equivalent of 0.7% of GDP. This
insurance type has been characterised by a negative
growth trend since 2008. Written premium was
down 8.4% last year, while the average premium
has fallen from EUR 198 in 2008 to EUR 137. Claims
paid remained at the level recorded in 2012, while
the average claim paid was down slightly to stand
at EUR 2,610. After stagnating for several years, the
claims ratio deteriorated by 5 percentage points to
stand at 59.5%. Despite growth in the number of
insurance policies, the number of loss events has
fallen over the last five years, resulting in a notable
improvement in the claims frequency, which last year
stood at 3.12%.

5.1.3.11. Aircraft liability insurance
With EUR 0.9m in collected premiums, aircraft
liability insurance represents the second smallest
insurance class and is sold by six insurance
companies. All of the aforementioned premiums
were collected from compulsory aircraft liability
insurance in accordance with the Compulsory Motor
Third Party Liability Insurance Act, as there were no
carrier liability for freight insurance in air transport
transactions recorded in 2013. There has been a
notable drop in the premiums generated by these
insurance types, including in 2013 when a 19.9% drop
was recorded. Due to the small number of insurance
policies, any loss event can have a significant impact
on claims paid. The average claim amounted to EUR
139,473 last year, the highest amount in the last six
years and five times the 2011 average. Total claims
paid were down 36%, while the claims ratio improved
by 12 percentage points to stand at 45.5%.

5.1.3.12. Liability for ship insurance
The third smallest insurance class is marine liability
insurance. Five insurance companies collected a
total of EUR 1.1m in premiums in 2013, a decrease
of 5.9% on the previous year. After several years
of growth, this insurance class recorded its first
decline last year. EUR 1m or 93% of total premiums
was generated by compulsory third-party liability
insurance for boat owners, while the majority of
claims paid was also generated by this insurance
type. There was a 3.7% drop in claims paid in 2013
relative to the previous year, while the average claim
paid was down sharply on previous years, to stand
at EUR 1,473 or four times less than the previous
year, with a claim frequency of 1.2%. The claims ratio
deteriorated slightly to stand at 17.3%, but it was
nonetheless the third best ratio on the insurance
market last year.

5.1.3.13. General liability insurance
Given the classification set out in the relevant
implementing acts, general liability insurance is the
class with the highest number of insurance types. At
3% of the premiums generated by entire insurance
portfolio, this class ranks eighth and is sold by nine
insurance companies. General liability insurance
accounted for EUR 42m or 73% of the EUR 59m in
insurance premiums collected in 2013 in this class,
which has recorded slow growth for several years.
Last year total collected premiums were up 1.7%. On
the other hand, the average premium has declined
to stand at EUR 229. There was a more notable rise
in claims paid of 8.7%. Here it should be noted that
claims paid fluctuate sharply from year to year, while
the average claim paid has remained at nearly the
same level over the entire period. Because growth
in claims paid exceeded growth in premiums, the
claims ratio deteriorated to stand at 48.1%.

5.1.3.14. Credit insurance
Five insurance companies generated credit insurance
premiums of EUR 43m in 2013, similar to the level
recorded the previous year, bringing an end to
two years of negative growth. Consumer credit
insurance accounts for the largest number of policies
underwritten by far, and at EUR 15m, ranks just
behind the international trade credit insurance (EUR
16m) in terms of written premiums. A similar trend
can be seen in claims paid which, with the exception
of 2010, are declining (by 6.1% last year). The
average paid claim has also fallen since that time,
by EUR 1,700, to stand at EUR 4,392. As a result, the
claims ratio has improved to stand at 69.1% in 2013,
compared with 99.4% in 2010. Such movement in
claims paid in recent years is primarily the result of
the economic crisis, the associated credit crunch
in the banking sector, the collapse of numerous
companies and rising unemployment.

5.1.3.15. Suretyship insurance
Suretyship insurance, sold by four insurance
companies, is one of the smallest classes of
insurance. Those four insurance companies collected
a total of EUR 1.7m in written insurance premiums
in 2013, an increase of 23.6% on the previous year.
Renewed growth in suretyship insurance has been
recorded since 2010, although there is no clearly
predominant insurance type within this class. The
majority of insurance types enjoy a similar share of
this insurance class, while performance bond and
warranty bond insurances enjoy a slightly higher
share. In contrast to previous years, claims paid were
low, while the average claim paid was down sharply.
Claim frequency fell from 13% in 2009 to 1.9% last
year. There was thus a significant improvement in
the claims ratio, which fluctuated at around or even
above 100% until 2011. In 2013 suretyship insurance
recorded one of the best claims ratios among all
insurance classes: 11.5%.

5.1.3.16. Miscellaneous financial loss insurance
Miscellaneous financial loss insurance, via which
eight insurance companies generated total insurance
premiums of EUR 6m in 2013, is also linked to
financial risks. It ranks as one of the smallest
insurance classes, accounting for merely 0.3%
of the entire insurance portfolio. Premiums have
fluctuated constantly in recent years and increased
by 4.9% last year. Claims paid fluctuate even more.
At 5%, growth in claims paid was low compared
with previous years. Because growth in premiums
and claims paid was similar in 2013, the claims ratio
held fast relative to the previous year, at 41.3%,
after several years of fluctuating. Nevertheless, the
average premium and average claim paid declined
slowly until last year, when growth was recorded.
Claim frequency has also declined for a number of
years.

5.1.3.17. Legal expenses insurance
Legal expenses insurance is a new insurance
class that is only slowly establishing itself on the
Slovenian insurance market. Sales by a single
insurance company in 1995 accounted for 0.01%
of the entire insurance portfolio, while sales by six
insurance companies accounted for 0.18% in 2013.
A sharper contrast can be seen in the number of
insurance policies underwritten: just 4,879 in 1995
compared with 324,838 in 2013. Attorney and other
legal protection expenses insurance generated
total collected premiums of EUR 3.6m in 2013. The
number of loss events is growing at a slower pace
than the number of insurance policies and remains
low. Claims paid are therefore that much more
significant. Claims frequency is constantly on the
rise, albeit minimally. Growth in gross claims paid
to policyholders of 14.7% was recorded last year,
resulting in the deterioration of the claims ratio.
Nevertheless, the claims ratio of 11.3% was the best
among all insurance classes in 2013.

5.1.3.18. Assistance insurance
Similar to legal expenses insurance, travel assistance
insurance is only now establishing itself on the
Slovenian insurance market. This insurance class
accounted for 0.02% of the entire insurance
portfolio in 1995 and for 1.02% in 2013, and was sold
by six insurance companies during both years. In
contrast to other insurance classes, travel assistance
insurance has recorded continuous growth over
the entire period. Premiums were up 4.7% in 2013
to stand at EUR 20m. Claims paid are growing in
parallel (by 10.7% last year). Because growth in
claims paid exceeded growth in premiums, the
claims ratio deteriorated by 2.8 percentage points
to stand at 50.7%. Both the claims ratio and claims
frequency have fluctuated significantly over the
entire period. Automobile assistance insurance is
predominant in this insurance class, accounting for
73% of premiums and 89% of claims paid.

5.1.4. Distribution channels
Members of the SIA market insurance products in various ways. The most well-known
and established channel is sales via insurance agents. Other methods for selling
insurance, which are considerably more established in more economically developed
countries, have begun to develop with the transition to a market economy.
Similar to previous years, the insurance agents of Slovenian insurance companies
generated two thirds of total insurance premiums in 2013 via sales. That proportion is
considerably higher in the life insurance segment. Sales over the counter have risen
slightly, accounting for 20%. Brokers generated around 6% of insurance premiums for
several years. That proportion was less than 5% last year. In contrast, the small, but
constant proportion generated by the banking and postal network has risen. Sales via
telephone and the internet are growing even more slowly.
A comparison of insurance classes shows that all insurance is sold in a similar manner,
for the most part via agents. Health insurance, which is primarily sold via counters,
and railway rolling stock insurance, which is primarily sold by brokers, are exceptions.
The latter also represent an important link in sales of goods in transit insurance,
aircraft liability insurance, other liability insurance and miscellaneous financial loss
insurance.
Brokers generate the majority of premium via sales of fire and other damage to
property insurance, and other liability insurance. Health insurance accounts for three
quarters of collected premiums generated via counter sales, and also accounts for
the majority in sales via telephone and the internet. Life insurance plays a leading role
in terms of total insurance premiums collected in the postal and banking network,
accounting for 88%.

5.2. Reinsurance activities
The unfavourable economic conditions also have an indirect effect on the reinsurance
sector. Due to a decline in the number of insurance transactions, insurance companies
are allocating increasingly fewer funds for the reinsurance of their own risks. This is
reflected in a decline in reinsurance premiums collected. Despite the high growth in
reinsurance premiums in the life insurance segment (by 53.7%), reinsurance premiums
were down by 11.2% last year, in the context of the small proportion of the latter
accounted for by the aforementioned segment, to stand at EUR 239m, the lowest
total since 2008. A similar decline was seen in reinsurance premiums in the non-life
insurance segment, which generated 98.9% of total reinsurance premiums. Here we
should take into account the fact that reinsurance premiums include the premiums
received by reinsurance companies from foreign subsidiaries. The market shares of
both reinsurance companies remained at the level recorded the previous year. There is
no major difference between their shares of the overall non-life insurance market (Sava
Reinsurance Company d. d. holds a 55% market share, while Triglav Re Ltd. holds a
45%), while Sava Reinsurance Company d. d. holds a massive edge with regard to
reinsurance premiums in the life insurance segment, having collected 85% of the latter
last year.

By far the largest proportion of reinsurance premiums in the non-life insurance
segment (60%) were collected for fire insurance (EUR 117m) and other damage to
property insurance (EUR 48m). A total of 21% or EUR 51m in premiums was generated
via motor vehicle insurance (motor third party liability and casco), while the
reinsurance business is weaker in other insurance types.
The amount of claims paid by reinsurance companies has risen over the last two years.
Total claims paid were up 7.5% last year to stand at EUR 141m. Because reinsurance
premiums recorded negative growth and claims paid recorded positive growth, the
claims ratio deteriorated by 10 percentage points relative to 2012 to stand at 59.3%.

5.3. Nuclear Insurance and Reinsurance Pool
In 2013 the Nuclear Insurance and Reinsurance Pool operated in similar economic
conditions to those of the year before.
The Nuclear Insurance and Reinsurance Pool has operated as a commercial interest
association since 1994. Throughout its existence, it has brought together the capacities
of Slovenia’s largest insurance and reinsurance companies for the purpose of insuring
nuclear risks in Slovenia; via its reinsurance section, it has also participated in the
insurance of nuclear threats linked to high-risk facilities located in other countries.
The Nuclear Insurance and Reinsurance Pool was primarily set up in order to insure
property and liabilities in relation to the operation of the sole nuclear power plant
located in Slovenia. The written premiums associated with this account for around half
of all the Nuclear Insurance and Reinsurance Pool written insurance premiums; the
other half comes from foreign reinsurance transactions. The insurance premiums relate
to fire insurance, machinery breakdown insurance and liability insurance.
The intensive debate on the role of nuclear power stations in obtaining electricity
continued in 2013. This debate was especially intense following the nuclear accident
in Japan in March 2011. Within the EU, numerous activities were pursued in 2013 with
the aim of ensuring of a higher degree of protection for potential victims of a nuclear
accident. Working groups that primarily dealt with defining the liability of the nuclear
power plant manager, the extent of that liability and a model for settling damage
claims have completed their work. The aforementioned working groups included
various stakeholders, including government representatives, academic institutions
and the insurance industry. The findings of the working groups will represent the basis
for measures and/or the drafting of normative legislation in the scope of the EU. The
facts described above will have a significant impact on the insurance industry, which
will have to provide the required coverage to insure the liabilities of the nuclear power
plant manager as a compulsory form of insurance.
87
6. International position of the Slovenian insurance industry
The European insurance market is the largest in the world, and has a significant impact
on the entire activity. Certain European countries have recorded renewed economic
growth for several years. This is also reflected in the successful performance of the
insurance market, which in Europe is most developed in the most powerful economies.
Numerous indicators point to positive growth in the European insurance industry. In
contrast, a trend of decline persists in Slovenia.
A total of 4,922 insurance companies operated on the European insurance market in
2012, a decrease of 124 on the previous year. Nevertheless, those insurance companies
recorded a 9.4% increase in insurance premiums, which totalled EUR 1,093bn. The
number of employees at European insurance companies was up by 12.5%, while
the average number of employees at individual insurance companies was also up.
In contrast, insurance density (premium per capita fell to EUR 1,843 in Europe) and
insurance penetration (where premiums as a proportion of GDP were down 0.3
percentage points to stand at 7.6%) both deteriorated.
The position of Slovenian insurance companies relative to other European countries
deteriorated in 2012. A decrease in insurance premiums collected relative to the
previous year was recorded on the Slovenian insurance market, excluding the branches
of foreign insurance companies. There were also fewer insurance companies and
fewer employees at those companies. As a result, the proportions accounted for by
the aforementioned items were down relative to Europe overall. Slovenian insurance
companies accounted for merely 0.33% of all insurance companies in Europe, and
generated 0.18% of total European insurance premiums. The average collected
premiums of a European insurance company totalled EUR 222m, while that figure was
43% lower in Slovenia. A similar ratio is seen in insurance premium per capita, which
has been declining for several years in Slovenia, resulting in the gradual loss of its
share of the international market. In this respect, it is evident that life insurance in
Europe overall is significantly more developed, as life insurance premiums per capita
are four times higher than in Slovenia, while premiums as a proportion of GDP are
nearly three times higher. Non-life insurance premiums per capita in Slovenia were
merely 8% lower than the European average in 2012. In contrast, non-life insurance
premiums as a proportion of GDP of 4.1% were 1 percentage point or 31% higher than
the European average. The average number of employees at Slovenian insurance
companies has exceeded the European average by around 90% in recent years, while
premiums per employee are 70% lower.
When comparing the insurance business of certain European countries, Switzerland
stands out with insurance premiums per capita that is 3.2 times higher than the
European average and six times higher than Slovenia. By far the highest amount of
premiums is collected in Germany and France, which together account for one third
of the European insurance market. Premiums as a proportion of GDP are highest in
the Netherlands, at 12.5%. At twice the European average, Italy ranks first in terms of
insurance premiums per employee at insurance companies. Slovenia ranks the same as
last year among selected countries in all of the aforementioned indicators.
