A quip characterized 2006 as being the year between 2005 and 2007. Beyond this humorous utter-
ance, the content of this affirmation gives more substance to the idée that the beginning of this
year points especially the quantitative evolution and less importance to spectaculars figures which
characterize the quantitative growth.

1. In a possible ranking of the most important events on the Romanian insurance market in 2006, which events
should, in your opinion, rank among the first three?
2. More and more often we hear about the impact of bank crediting on the growth of certain insurance classes, as
well as about the benefits brought about for certain insurance companies by their affiliation to a banking group. How
would you describe the relationship between banks and insurance companies during the previous year? In your opin-
ion, what are the aspects that need to be improved?
3.The year 2005 registered two major premiers: the launching of health insurance and the liberalization of MTPL
insurance market. Do you think 2006 will bring about new premiers? If yes, please specify.
4. In your opinion, what are the issues both insurers and the Insurance Supervisory Commission should focus on in
order to guarantee market stability and financial solvency for each distinct company?

The year of private health insurance


The private health insurance market has in-
creased, overcoming the legal limitations. The
year 2005 is the absolute proof in this respect,
5 insurance companies expressing their intent
to expand in this direction. Chronologically
speaking, the first actual health insurance
policies were launched in 2003 by OMNIA-
SIG Addenda. INTERAMERICAN then opened,
in June, the first private hospital in Romania,
EUROCLINIC. The highest point was reached
in October, when ALLIANZ-TIRIAC and GENER-
ALI (in partnership with DIAGNOSIS) launched
their own health insurance products.
The list is constantly expanding, and players like

Risk or opportunity? It’s often a question of perspective. Yet the key to lasting success is
recognising and harnessing the opportunities in risk. Take, for instance, the growing number
of natural disasters: Are they the result of global warming or just a freak of nature? Whatever
the answer, we embrace risk with open arms. Because risk is our business, driving us to look
at the world from new angles and develop fresh solutions that yield the best results for our
customers. Add to that our optimal risk diversification and excellent financial strength and
you will understand even better why we are one of the world’s most successful reinsurers.

Compared to 2004, in 2005 this field increased by 27% in euro. “We estimate that this growth rate will
continue in 2006, if the economic environment is similar to the one form 2005” stated the ISC President. A
