Uniqa posts 58% growth in health insurance premiums in 2010
2010-02-03
The Polish unit of Uniqa, the Austrian insurance group, enjoyed a 58% y-o-y jump in gross premium revenues from voluntary health insurance (VHI) policies in 2009, according to preliminary unaudited figures. Sales of health policies apparently accelerated sharply in the final quarter of last year, after rising by 37% y-o-y in the January-September period. VHI products were one of the fastest-growing segments of Uniqa’s non-life business, which climbed by 2.9% last year to PLN 770.4m (€189.1m).
Jaroslaw Parkot, CEO, praised the result in the VHI segment as “record-breaking”, and described health insurance as one of the company’s strategic growth markets. In his view, more and more Poles are appreciating the benefits of VHI products relative to the public healthcare sector as well as private pre-paid benefit plans.
