The paper is devoted to the investigation of the current state and trends of the insurance market in Ukraine. A number of indicators characterizing the state of insurance market development, such as: the number of insurance companies engaged in risky types of insurance and life insurance; volume and dynamics of gross insurance bonuses and insurance payments; dynamics of the number of concluded agreements on voluntary and compulsory types of insurance, as well as reinsurance agreements; volume and dynamics of assets and insurance reserves of domestic insurance companies are analyzed in this scientific paper. Comparative analysis of the above mentioned indicators with similar indicators of foreign countries is carried out. It is defined that the insurance market of Ukraine lags far behind the countries of Europe, the USA, China, Japan and other developed countries. The reason for such low development is the difficult economic situation in the country caused by such factors as the change of power in 2015, the occupation of part of the territory by the Russian Federation, which shattered the previously unstable economy. Although the economic situation in the country has stabilized in recent years, this is not enough for the insurance market to reach the level of developed economies. The investigation results are presented in the form of tables and graphical interpretations. The factors of positive and negative influence on the development of domestic insurance market are determined and characterized. The main factor influencing the insurance market and ensuring its stability is the control of measures increasing the level of the population insurance culture and the reliability of insurance companies. Such measures will increase the demand for insurance services, insurers will be interested in doing their best and these factors will result in financial market stabilization. This effect will be achieved if the state and insurance companies act in coordinated manner, i.e. if the state provides the insurance market with regulatory framework with unobtrusive supervision, and insurers perform their work honestly and conscientiously. A number of recommendations for the development of domestic insurance companies and the market in general are developed. The main measures are to attract capital not only from European countries, making the insurance market more attractive, but to develop the health insurance, as medicine is quite expensive and the income is low, as well as to introduce the new insurance products due to the development of all industries.

The intensity and quality of insurance market development are directly related to the level of competition, concentration and monopolization between insurance companies. Although the insurance market of Ukraine is insignificant in terms of key indicators in comparison with foreign ones, the competitiveness of its insurers is very important to ensure proper insurance protection of policyholders. The article is devoted to the assessment of the processes of concentration and monopolization of the insurance market of Ukraine. The study analyzed the structure of the insurance market by segments, concentration indicators and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index for the market as a whole and for individual types of insurance, gradation of insurance companies by the amount of collected insurance premiums. Based on the assessment, it was determined that the insurance market of Ukraine is generally low concentrated, as well as the sector of risky types of insurance. Among the selected segments of the insurance market, the most concentrated is the CASCO insurance. In the field of health insurance there is a slightly lower level of concentration and monopolization as in the OTSPVVNTZ segment. The market of classical property insurance is the least concentrated. The life insurance segment is characterized by moderate concentration and monopolization. The most powerful insurance companies in the relevant sectors of the insurance market of Ukraine are outlined. Since 2015, the top three leaders of the life insurance market are PJSC “MetLife”, PJSC “Insurance Group TAS” and PJSC “IC UNIСA LIFE”. Virtually unchanged leaders in the field of risk insurance during 2018-2020 were PJSC “IC ARX”, PJSC “IC UNICA” and PJSC “Insurance Group TAS”, which are members of financial groups that include leaders of the life insurance market.

ABSTRACT This paper studies two aspects of the automobile insurance market in Brazil: first, it determines the degree of competition among insurance companies, and second, it estimates and analyzes the demand for automobile insurance. Most of the studies on the automobile insurance market in Brazil analyze the performance of the firms in this sector or present regional studies of the demand for insurance and its determinants. Thus, this study innovates both in showing the competition among the firms and estimating the demand for insurance in the country. The relevance of this research lies in the sequential and ordered way it analyzes the demand in a sector. Firstly, it identifies the type of competition that takes place in the sector and then, based on this, it proposes a structural framework based on optimizing decisions for estimating the price, income, and market power elasticities of demand. Furthermore, analyzing the insurance industry is of the utmost importance since it moves significant amounts of financial resources and provides an essential service in the economy. With information about the market structure and demand profile in the automobile insurance sector it is possible to propose strategic policies for individual firms as well as for the whole sector in order to introduce more efficiency. To analyze the degree of competitiveness, several concentration indices were calculated using annually-aggregated monthly data on the premium paid to all the automobile insurance firms in the period from 2001 to 2016. To estimate the demand for automobile insurance, half-yearly data from 2002 to 2010 for each one of the 27 federative units of Brazil were used. Two main findings are presented in this study. First, we find evidence of little concentration in the Brazilian automobile insurance market, with shares being well distributed among the players. Second, we estimate the demand for automobile insurance in Brazil and find a price-elasticity of -0.47 in the short run and -1.33 in the long run, while the lagged profitability has a negative impact on the amount insured: -0.21 in the short run and -0.59 in the long run. Income does not significantly influence the demand for insurance in Brazil.

It is noted that cyber insurance is one of the effective preventive measures that minimize the negative effects of cybercrime intervention. The article presents segmentation of the cyber insurance market by geography and size of insurance companies. The results of the analysis showed the dominance of US companies in the cyber insurance market. It is stated that the sectoral distribution of cybersecurity policy purchasers in general follows the trends of the sectoral distribution of cybercrime. The volume of cyber insurance, expenses of insured legal entities is analyzed. The main trends in the development of cyber insurance have been identified. The factors that hold back the development of cyber risk insurance have been identified. The main ones include the following: high level of information entropy in the process of cyber risk assessment, lack of a single standard for filling insurance services in the field of cyber insurance. It is noted that in the medium term the cyber insurance market is prospective for insurance companies. This is caused by the increasing scale of cyber threats and the costs associated with cyberattacks.

Insurance Development

In the current conditions of the economic development in Ukraine, an important place is occupied by the system of insurance relations. Although the insurance market in Ukraine is characterized by a low level of insurance culture, some insurers don’t fulfill their obligations, distrust of the population towards insurance companies, imperfection of state regulation mechanisms of the activity of these enterprises, low incomes of the population, etc.The research of the domestic insurance market shows that insurance itself provides the population with insurance protection against various insurance risks and is the most stable source of long-term investments. The existing insurance system in Ukraine is based mainly on principles that have demonstrated its inefficiency and do not meet the needs of the national economy. Urgency of this problem requires further study of the history of the insurance development as a whole, the identification of the development stages of insurance of the independent Ukraine and identification of a group of factors that influence the insurance market development.Growth of the entrepreneurial activity in the late nineteenth century and a stormy development of joint-stock companies were the beginning of agreements conclusion, definition of the rules of insurance, expansion of the reinsurance activity.Developmentoftheinsurancebusinesshasshownitsprofitability, therefore, in our country there is no significant decline in the number of insurance companies. In the competitive environment, insurance companies are increasingly expanding their range of insurance risks, seeking to increase their competitiveness. Insurance has a long history of formation, and research into historical aspects of the insurance development has begun with its evolution. Having analyzed literary sources, we have come to the conclusion that in Ukraine, the insurance development took place under the legal conditions that existed in the period of Kievan Rus and Tsarist Russia, and later in the USSR. Only the adoption of the Law on Insurance in 1996 made the domestic insurance market more developed and modern. Current state and four groups of factors that influence the insurance market development in Ukraine are analyzed. Prospects for the development of the insurance market in Ukraine are substantiated.

Significant Concentration

The concentration of the insurance market is an objective process that evolves by the trends of the world market laws. In practice, many countries use a whole set of indicators that are developed by the world economic science to estimate the concentration level in different sectors of the economy. Official statistics, unfortunately, give only a fragmentary assessment of the concentration level of the domestic insurance market. The National Financial Services Commission considers two indicators: the concentration ratio and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index. The analysis of these indicators is provided on the whole market and separately on the non-life and Life insurance markets only by the volume of insurance premiums. Such an assessment is very general, and the insurance market of Ukraine remains informationally closed. Studies have shown that the level of market concentration is related to the processes of monopolization and competition. Significant concentration on the life insurance market, which in turn defines it as moderately monopolized and not a significant concentration on the risk insurance market, which has a significant level of competition. However, among a large number of insurance companies in the insurance market other than life insurance, it is possible to single out leaders who, compared to their competitors, have a significant amount of insurance payments and hold a significant share of the market in terms of insurance premiums, assets and what is important for customer - the proper level of payments, which is confirmed by the amount of insurance claims. In the market of risk insurance of Ukraine the leaders are such system-forming insurance companies as «UNIKA», «IG TAS», «ARSENAL UKRAINE», «PZU UKRAINE», «АХА INSURANCE» and «INGO UKRAINE». Key words: insurance market, concentration of insurance market, rating, assets of insurance companies, level of payments, competition.

Ukraine occupies a leading position in the world in the production and export of agricultural products. At the present stage of development of the agricultural sector, the most important task is its further development, because the country has significant potential to increase and improve the quality of production. Agricultural production is one of the important, specific and at the same time the most risky areas of human activity. Specific features of the agricultural market: high cost of facilities due to the large area of land, increased risk of production, cumulative losses due to natural disasters and progressive climate change, he duration of the production cycle, affects the profitability of farmers, necessitate the use of one of the most important tools for minimizing risks — insurance and, if necessary, further diversification of risks through reinsurance. The article considers the main indicators of agricultural insurance: in terms of insurance companies, in terms of regions, in terms of agricultural crops. The amount of insurance payments in terms of insurance companies and agricultural crops is analyzed. Trends in animal insurance are presented. The agricultural insurance market in Ukraine is developing slowly, but in recent years still shows a positive upward trend. For a country with a huge potential of the agricultural sector of the economy, the saturation of the agricultural insurance market with insurance services and the actual volume of agricultural risk insurance, undoubtedly, are insufficient. Now agricultural insurance in Ukraine is actively developing. However, despite the positive dynamics, the current state of agricultural insurance in Ukraine does not meet its main task - to manage risks in the agricultural sector to ensure its stable operation and sustainable development of the agricultural sector of the economy. The current system of agrarian risk insurance in Ukraine, including the provision of state support to the agricultural sector, requires improvement and should be aimed at ensuring adequate protection of the interests of agricultural producers and food security, stabilizing production and income in the agricultural sector and encouraging the best technology agricultural production
