Hungary Life Insurance Market to 2016


Negative economic growth, a decline in disposable income and a lack of transparency in traditional life insurance led to a decline in the Hungarian life insurance segment during the review period. In 2011, the number of life insurance policies sold declined as compared to 2010, due to the government’s initiative to stop accepting new applications for foreign-currency mortgage repayment schemes, and also the increase in surrender and lapse of unit-linked insurance products. However, over the forecast period, the Hungarian life insurance segment is expected to slowly grow with the help of new product innovations introduced by insurers, an increase in unit-linked policy sales and stable economic growth.
