Non-Life Insurance in Norway, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017, New Report Launched

Non-Life Insurance in Norway, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017

The size and significance of the Norwegian non-life segment is relatively small compared to other countries in the Nordic region such as Denmark, Finland and Sweden. The Norwegian non-life segment’s penetration was 1.5% in 2012, compared to Denmark’s 2.9%, Finland’s 1.9% and Sweden with 1.9% in the same year. This indicates a large potential customer base in the country. Norway is one of the best performing economies in the Nordic region. Unlike other countries in the region, Norway didn’t experience a significant impact from the global financial crisis and the EU sovereign debt crisis, even though the country has numerous commercial links with EU member states and the country’s exports are mainly to EU countries. Insurance providers in Norway incurred losses in 2009 as investment income declined sharply.
