“We pay almost UAH 600,000 every day, observing the new requirements and standards of the market regulator,” Director of Express Insurance Tetiana Schuchieva, whose words are quoted in the press release, said.
In total, in January-September 2020, the company settled 3,544 insurance events under voluntary car insurance (KASCO) policies (a rise of 25.5% year-over-year) and 613 events under mandatory insurance of civil liability of vehicle owners (OSAGO) policies (a rise of 16.1%) with the payment of compensation.
The company’s insurance reserves as of September 30, 2020 grew by 31.4%, to UAH 226.8 million (a rise of 31.4%), assets – by 20%, to UAH 405.6 million, of which highly liquid assets accounted for 75%.
