Under the liabilities of companies that ceased operations in the MTPL market but were declared bankrupt in accordance with the procedure established by law, payments were made at the expense of the guarantee premiums of such insurers available in the MTIBU’s guarantee fund in the amount of UAH 5.33 million.
The MTIBU also notes that the minimum amount of statutory payments for road accidents caused by an unidentified vehicle remains the same – UAH 7 thousand (in such cases, payments are made only in case of a threat to life and health).
