The portfolio of new life insurance contracts written by companies in Ukraine for January–June 2026 exceeded last year’s results by 5%, generating a total of 664.7 million UAH, according to the website of the National Association of Insurers of Ukraine (NASU).
“A key feature of this period was the positive trend in stable cash flows. Ukrainians continue to show active interest in savings-oriented financial solutions,” the report notes.
In addition, regular premiums paid by customers under existing long-term policies increased by 12%. At the same time, significant progress was observed in the single-premium segment, which grew by 20%.
NASU also notes that during the reporting period, life insurance payouts rose by 33%, surpassing the 1 billion UAH mark. Of this amount, 66% consisted of payouts upon policy maturity (payouts for the “survivorship” risk), which is 41% more than a year earlier.
“This surge is entirely predictable: financial institutions are consistently fulfilling their commitments under traditional agreements concluded more than two decades ago. Upon receiving their preserved capital along with accumulated investment income, Ukrainians often reinvest this money in new insurance products,” the report states.
NASU also reports that for the first half of 2026, the ranking of life insurers by premiums collected is as follows: MetLife Insurance Company – 1.599 billion UAH (1.436 billion UAH); TAS Insurance Company – 525.7 million UAH (431.4 million UAH); “Grave Life” – 308.7 million UAH (283 million UAH); “PZU Life” – 205.3 million UAH (189.2 million UAH); “Arks Life” – 175.5 million UAH (168.9 million UAH).
Ranking by payouts: “MetLife” – 358 million UAH; TAS Insurance Company – 267.5 million UAH; “Grave Ukraine Life Insurance” – 240.3 million UAH; PZU Life – 43.1 million UAH; “Arks Life” – 37.3 million UAH.
As previously reported, as of July 1, 2026, there were 10 life insurance companies operating in Ukraine.
