On September 29, 2022, the National Bank of Ukraine applied to PJSC Ukrainian Industrial Insurance Company and ALC Nadiya Insurance Company (both Kyiv) measures in the form of license cancellation, according to the website of the regulator.
The reason for this decision was the repeated violation of license conditions and once again failure to provide information at the request of the regulator. Namely, observance of mandatory monetary standards, overdue obligations under concluded insurance contracts, cases of violation of the deadlines for the settlement of declared events that have signs of insurance (the composition of the reserve for claimed but not paid losses).
“Consequently, for a long time after the start of the Russian aggression, insurers did not take measures to establish operational activities and accounting. This makes it impossible to carry out full-fledged insurance activities,” the report says.
Decisions to cancel licenses come into force on September 30, 2022.
As reported on August 12, 2022, a measure of influence was applied to these insurers in the form of a temporary suspension of licenses.
Insurers, to which the National Bank has applied enforcement measures, operate in the non-life segment.
PJSC “Ukrainian Industrial Insurance Company” does not provide reports to the National Bank, starting from the reporting for 2021.
ALC IC “Nadiya” does not provide reporting, starting with the reporting for the 1st quarter of 2022.
Based on the results of 2021, IC Nadiya received UAH 3 million in insurance premiums and made UAH 3.1 million in insurance payments. At the same time, the company did not enter into insurance contracts with individuals. The company’s market share based on the results of 2021 is 0.006%. The insurer informed the National Bank of the temporary cessation of insurance activities after the start of the military aggression of the Russian Federation.
