An analysis of the situation in the insurance market for the previous period, which shows that the number of insurance companies continues to decline, which requires a more detailed study of the impact of business management tools. It is noted that the NBU has been a regulator of insurance companies for more than a year in terms of solvency requirements, which is positive in the development of this business, as more decisive action has been taken to apply enforcement measures for non-compliance with Ukrainian legislation.

Abstract Insurance companies are facing major challenges that point to the need for control process and risk management. Risk management in insurance has a direct impact on solvency, economic security, and overall financial stability of insurance companies. It is very important for insurance companies to adequately calculate risks to which they are exposed. Asset liability management (ALM), as an integrated approach to financial management, requires simultaneous decision-making about categories and values of assets and liabilities in order to establish the optimum volume and the ratio of assets and liabilities, with the understanding of complexity of the financial market in which financial institutions operate. ALM focuses on a significant number of risks, whereby the emphasis in this paper will be on interest rate risk which indicates potential losses that may reflect in a lower interest margin, a lower value of assets or both, in terms of changes in interest rates. In the above context, the aim of this paper is to show how to protect from interest rate changes and how these changes influence the insurance market in Montenegro, both from the theoretical and the practical point of view. The authors consider this to be an interesting and very important topic, especially because the life insurance market in Montenegro is underdeveloped and subject to fluctuations. Also, taking into account the fact that Montenegro is a country that has been making serious efforts to join the EU, it is expected that insurance companies in Montenegro will strengthen their financial position in the market even using the ALM traditional techniques, which is shown in this paper.

Given the constant challenges of today, the key to survival and the basis of stable development of insurance companies is the effective management of financial resources, the skillful use of which allows a stable competitive position in the insurance market and determines the vectors of their development. It is the financial resources of insurers that are one of the most important resources that are designed to support their activities. Since the insurance, financial and investment activities of insurers are closely linked, the use of their financial resources is aimed not only at making insurance payments, but also at investing. In fact, skillful management of financial resources is the basis for financial stability and competitiveness in the insurance market, which stimulates the introduction of modern methods and approaches in the field of management. Therefore, just controlling is almost the only possible tool for building optimized management systems in the activities of insurers. At all levels of government, it allows you to provide timely and relevant information in order to make optimal decisions. The study of the process of building an insurance controlling system within the operation of the insurance company in order to optimize the use of financial resources will determine the current controlling tools and the effectiveness of the controlling system on the example of the insurance company. The importance of financial resources in the financial and economic activities of insurance companies and the possibility of their optimization in the controlling system in today's conditions becomes especially relevant, which requires further research.

The role of controlling for the purpose of optimized utilization of financial resources of insurers is revealed. The advantages and disadvantages of creating a controlling service within the activities of the insurance company are highlighted, which allowed us to see that the creation of such a system has more advantages than disadvantages.

The article is aimed at assessing the impact of the Solvency II requirements on the Ukrainian insurance market and making a forecast of possible situations after the introduction of these requirements. To achieve the aim, the following tasks were set: to describe both the quantitative and the qualitative requirements of the Solvency II in the EU and the conditions for their use in the Ukrainian insurance market; to predict a possible change in the insurance market of Ukraine under the influence of the Solvency II quantitative requirements, which was performed as a result of the presented research. It is specified that the «novelty» envisaged by the Solvency II, which is related to the use of internal models, is an important step in the different sense of the assessment of the activities of insurance companies. This assessment is dominated not only by the quantitative parameters, but also by the problem of generally recognized risk, to which company is inclined and which is ready to take over. However, a significant number of aspects of this approach still need to be closer defined. The criteria related to the use of internal models for the needs of the supervisory authority have so far had the nature of the initial assumptions, and the experience of insurance companies (using internal models for their own needs, not the needs of the supervisory authority) concerns only a small percentage of companies. The internal model allows the insurance company to independently determine the actual demand for the required amount of guarantee capital. However, internal models include certain risks. The most important types of risks to consider in the internal models are grouped as follows: technical and insurance risk; risk associated with assets; operational risk and other types of risk. It is projected that the implementation of the project is likely to face many more unexpected problems, but the idea itself is interesting and understood by both insurance companies and regulatory authorities.

Competition is an integral part of the insurance market in Ukraine. That is why it is a key factor in the strategy of the insurance company, and marketing policy is an integral part of it. The competition of insurance companies is aimed at expanding its insurance market share. The purpose of the paper is development of theoretical foundations and practical recommendations for insurance company competitiveness management in the context of its marketing policy. Currently, there is a significant reduction in the number of insurance companies at the insurance market in Ukraine. 79 insurance companies left the market from the beginning of 2018 to the third quarter of 2020. Competition encourages insurance companies to invent innovative insurance products, implement new marketing tools, and optimize cost structures. The author performed a cluster analysis of insurers in the field of two factors – the volume of assets and the amount of net earned premiums. Economic and mathematical methods were used to analyze the impact of sales costs (X) on the amount of net earned insurance premiums (Y). The high value of the correlation coefficient indicates a close linear relationship between the factor and the resulting indicator. The digitalization of the world economy has significant impact on the effective marketing activities. The main directions of development of insurance companies are the ability to remotely sell the insurance product on the website or via a mobile application, the correct choice of target audience for targeted advertising, the presence of the insurance company on social media and so on. On the one hand, costs of marketing and advertising make it possible to increase the amount of net earned premiums of the insurance company, and on the other hand, the introduction of the latest tools for selling insurance products makes the insurer closer to its customer.
