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.

Abstract Due to financial crisis, and especially because of prudence in lending (retail, micro, and corporate), banks are looking for new sources of income, and bancasurance is clearly a potential source of revenue. Thus, in the financial market, the interests of two major components of it are met: banks maximize commission income, and insurers make access to the large customer base of banks. Bancassurance is a distribution channel of insurance products through bank branches, bringing important advantages for banks, insurance companies and customers. The main advantage for the bank is that earns fee amount from the insurance company, the insurance company increases customers data base and market share, the client satisfy his financial needs and requests in the same institution. Considering that in Romania, banks and insurers do not provide information on the number of insurances sold via the bancassurance distribution channel, as well as commissions obtained by banks for the insurance sale, to determine the development of bancassurance in Romania, we used the statistical data provided by the National Bank of Romania, on credit growth and data provided by The Financial Supervision Association, on the evolution of gross written premiums. Bancassurance is one of the most important insurance distribution channels, accounting for approximately 36% of the global insurance market, in 2016, Europe’s insurers generated total premium income of €1 189bn and had €10 112bn invested in the economy. Regarding to the risks of bancassurance business for banks and insurers, they mainly concern distinct capital requirements for the banking and insurance systems, which will be covered by the Basel III and Solvency II directives. This paper aims to analyze the influence of credit on the bancassurance activity in the last 5 years in Romania, the economic, political and legal factors that have a negative impact on the development of bancassurance, and also the calculating the correlation coefficient r (Pearson’s coefficient) and his result.

Solvency of insurance companies, its conservation, regulation and control is the basis for the healthy functioning of the insurance market. Solvency is an indicator of stability and security of the companies, as well as the guarantor of execution of obligations. The Solvency II Directive was adopted on 25th of November 2009. She announced big changes in the insurance and reinsurance law, both EU member countries and non-member countries, when it comes to the solvency of the company. The main reason for the adoption of the new directive is strengthening of the integrated market in insurance and reinsurance law through harmonized legal rules. Solvency II aims at a common market, working permit in one member State allows the company carrying out activities in all other member countries. Also, during the implementation of the new directive the countries should have the same rights of protection of the insured. For both requirements is necessary that the supervision rules are agreed and converged all across Europe. In this paper author analyzes influence of the Solvency II on EU member countries, and to non-EU countries, the state of security in Europe, as well as the extent to which some of the countries harmonized their legislation with the Directive.

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.

The Impact

The main purpose of any insurance market is to ensure the continuity of the production process and the formation of sources of investment resources for the development of the country’s economy. However, in a context of financial globalization, this function can be unrealized due to the increased vulnerability of insurance markets to the impact of global crisis and capital outflow through the processes of mergers and acquisitions of insurance companies, foreign investments, international reinsurance, etc. This generates threats to the security of Ukraine’s insurance market. And hence, the purpose of the article is to develop recommendations on how to regulate the safety of Ukraine’s insurance market on the basis of an analysis of the manifestations of financial globalization in the world’s insurance markets and the identified threats. The authors consider financial globalization as the formation of a global financial market that can be defined as a market in which international financial intermediaries (banks, insurance companies, etc.) sell financial services worldwide. The processes of financial globalization cause such security threats to the insurance market, as: acquisition by foreign insurers of national insurance companies, outflow of investment resources abroad, growth of dependence on external reinsurance and others. To strengthen the security of Ukraine’s insurance market under financial globalization, the following directions of regulation are proposed: (i) to establish requirements for external investments of insurers not only in the part of securities of foreign issuers, but also in relation to other assets, which can be represented by insurance reserves; ii) to carry out ongoing monitoring of security indicators of the insurance market: the share of insurance payments belonging to reinsurers-non-residents in gross insurance payments; the share of foreign capital in the authorized capital of insurance companies; market share of foreign insurance companies; iii) to increase the independence from external reinsurance, the capitalization of Ukrainian insurers should be increased on the basis of the introduction of Solvency II principles for the growth of the reinsurance capacity of the national insurance market and stimulation of the export of reinsurance services.

The article deals with the possibility of calculating the required capital in insurance companies allocated to operational risk under Solvency II regulation and the aim of this article is to come up with model that can be use in insurance companies for calculating operational risk required capital. In the article were discussed and compared the frequency and severity distributions where was chosen Poisson for frequency and Lognormal for severity. For the calculation, was used only the real scenario and data from small CEE insurance company to see the effect of the three main parameters (typical impact, Worst case impact and frequency) needed for building the model for calculation 99,5% VaR by using Monte Carlo simulation. Article comes up with parameter sensitivity and/or ratio sensitivity on calculating capital. From the database arose two conclusions related to sensitivity where the first is that the impact of frequency is much higher in the interval (0;1) than above the interval to calculated capital and second conclusion is Worst case and Typical Case ratio, where we saw that if the ratio is around 150 or higher the calculated capital is increasing faster that the ration increase demonstrated on the scenario calculation.

The relevance of the study is that the crisis in the financial and real sectors of the economy leads to financial instability of business. This issue is especially acute for insurance companies, which attract significant financial resources on a long-term basis or funds from risky types of insurance. The crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to problems in the Ukrainian insurance services market, which requires the introduction of new management tools for insurance companies. Under such conditions, there is a need to find and implement ways to improve management efficiency, which will be aimed at achieving financial stability, increasing profitability and eliminating crisis manifestations in financial activities. The object of the study is the financial activity of the insurance company to improve the tools of business management. It is noted that the insurance services market is the second in terms of capitalization among other non-banking financial markets. 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. It is proposed to introduce a set of tools to improve the management of the insurance company: the development of an effective procedure for adjusting the financial condition, tools to improve management and government regulation to create a strategy for the development of the insurance market. The regulator’s implementation of financial performance and the adoption of relevant laws will help determine the development strategy and business model, which will form capital adequacy, provide the necessary level of liquidity and asset quality, which will help financial stability of companies, restore consumer confidence in the insurance market.

Every day insurance companies face a number of risks arising from the insurance industry itself, as well as risks arising from insurance company operations. In this constant fight against risks insurance companies use different models and methods that help them better understand, have a more comprehensive view of, and develop greater tolerance towards risks, in order to reduce their exposure to these risks. The model presented in this paper has been developed for implementation in insurance risk management directly related to insurance company risk, i.e. it is a model that can reliably determine the manner and intensity with which deviations in the initial insurance risk assessment affect insurance company operations, in the form of changes in operational risks and consequently in insurance companies? business strategies. Additionally we present the implementation of the model in the Serbian market for the period 2005-2010.

In the pre-reform era, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI) dominated the Indian life insurance market with a market share close to 100 percent. But the situation drastically changed since the enactment of the IRDA Act in 1999. At the end of the FY 2012-13, the market share of LICI stood at around 73 percent with the number of players having risen to 24 in the countrys life insurance sector. One of the reasons for such a decline in the market share of LICI during the post-reform period could be attributed to the increasing competition prevailing in the countrys life insurance sector. At the same time, the liberalization of the life insurance sector for private participation has eventually raised issues about ensuring sound financial performance and solvency of the life insurance companies besides protection of the interest of policyholders. The present study is an attempt to evaluate and compare the financial performances, solvency, and the market concentration of the four leading life insurers in India namely the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI), ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited (ICICI PruLife), HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Limited (HDFC Standard), and SBI Life Insurance Company Limited (SBI Life), over a span of five successive FYs 2008-09 to 2012-13. In this regard, the CARAMELS model has been used to evaluate the performances of the selected life insurers, based on the Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs) as published by IMF. In addition to this, the Solvency and the Market Concentration Analyses were also presented for the selected life insurers for the given period. The present study revealed the preexisting dominance of LICI even after 15 years since the privatization of the countrys life insurance sector.
