Key Highlights
• The Italian life segment is moderately concentrated, as the 10 leading insurers accounted for 67.5% of the direct written premium in 2015. • Government bonds accounted for the largest share of investments made by life insurers during the review period. • Due to the low interest rate, insurers are terminating products with guaranteed interest and launching linked insurance products. • The economic crisis led to rising unemployment and wage cuts during the review period. These factors are expected to negatively affect the growth of the life segment, as consumers with reduced disposable incomes are unlikely to invest in voluntary insurance products.
