Euroins Increased its capital by EUR 7.7 million

Euroins Insurance Company AD (Euroins Bulgaria), part of Eurohold's insurance group - Euroins Insurance Group AD (EIG), has increased its capital by EUR 7.7 million (BGN 15 million) in order to finance its development on the foreign markets, predominantly in Greece and Poland, the two largest markets in which the company operates outside Bulgaria. 

The capital increase has already been paid in by Euroins’ shareholders and will further improve the solvency ratio of the insurer to a level that fully covers and even overcovers the risk appetite of the company. “The capital hike further strengthens our capital position and provides us with even more opportunities to scale up our operations in Southeast Europe, adding more values to our clients in terms of qualitative products and customer service,” commented Joanna Tsoneva, Chairman of Euroins Bulgaria’s Board.

Apart from Bulgaria, Euroins operates in accordance with the European directive to provide services under the freedom of establishment (FoE) - in Greece, as well as under the European directive on the freedom to provide services (FoS) in Poland, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany and Italy. Euroins has recently returned to the Romanian market, offering non-motor insurance services under FoS. In addition to it, EIG operates through its subsidiaries in Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Ukraine and Georgia.

In 2022, Euroins’ premium volume went up by nearly a third, compared to the previous year, to around EUR 232 million. The growth was driven by stronger sales of non-motor insurance policies, mostly by travel-related ones, the gross written premium (GWP) of which doubled and accumulated a significant part of the total premium income. Demand for insurance related to guarantees has also been increasing, growing by more than 50% on the year due to new business recorded by the company's branch in Greece. In the period after COVID-19 restrictions have been removed, Euroins has significantly increased its written premium from travel insurance, accident and medical expenses on all markets the company is presented. Cargo insurance has quadrupled while property one has grown at double-digit rates.
