Insurance is one of the important financial segments of the national economy, where financial and investment resources are formed, accumulated, redistributed and used, and there is an interaction between producers and consumers of insurance products. The financial condition of most insurers is quite low and does not provide them with competitive advantages even in the domestic insurance market. The decisive factor in the opacity of insurance processes is determined by the insurers of circuit transactions. Public reporting of insurers does not contribute to an objective diagnosis of their financial condition, stability, and often inaccuracies and errors. However, the fall in the relative indicators of insurance indemnity in the conditions of a steady rise in the size of insurance premiums convinces that insurance has not yet fully realized its function of providing real insurance protection and covering the existing risks of economic entities. Carrying out structural restructuring of the economy and economic reforms necessitate further development of the insurance market of Ukraine as part of the financial market. Insurance implements the state policy of socio-economic protection of the population, as well as generates significant investment resources. Foreign experience shows that insurance companies have a special place in ensuring the investment process, the possibility of accumulating financial resources, the transformation of the insurance market into a powerful source of investment resources. The main reasons that threaten insurers and, consequently, the financial security of the state, are a significant narrowing of the life insurance segment, a slight increase in insurance capital, slow growth of insurance reserves, slow increase in financial stability, there are structural transformations to expand voluntary property insurance. The development of the insurance sector and increase the confidence of economic entities in insurance institutions depends on the insurance policy, method and regulatory levers of the state. It should be noted that the domestic insurance market is considered to be a fairly closed and non-transparent market. This is due to the extremely heterogeneous construction of the market environment, low level of transparency of the insurance market, the lack of detailed objective data on the functioning of a particular insurer and the structure of its financial capital. The main problems hindering the development of the insurance market in Ukraine are considered. The article pays attention to significant information secrecy, political and financial instability, lack of insurance professionals. Currently, the domestic insurance system is slowly developing due to formal schemes, mainly in an extensive format, and is accompanied by various problems of financial, information-analytical, organizational and institutional-infrastructural nature. However, there are problems of increasing the quality of insurance products, combining and harmonizing the interests of participants in the insurance system. The decisive problems of Ukrainian insurers in the transition to new market conditions was the need to adapt to a tough competitive environment.

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.

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.
