This amount reflects the double counting effect emanating from the “High Risk Insurance Pool” for Land Vehicles Liability Insurance as well as the business ceded by the companies through fronting arrangements without retaining any liability. 82.5% of the total premium was generated by Non‑Life and 17.5% from Life insurance. Previous year, due to the continued growth in loan volume as well as the increase recorded in housing sales as a result of the significant decline seen in housing loan interest rates, there has been 27% nominal growth in life insurance and its share in total premium production increased from 16% in 2019 to 17%. While a growth of 18% on nominal basis was recorded in Non‑Life businesses, in real terms growth was around 3%. As a result of the pandemic conditions, ongoing price cap implementation and the sluggish vehicle sales compared to previous years, the premium income of Land Vehicles Liability and Land Vehicles business lines, which have predominant weight in total industry premium, showed a limited growth of 11% on nominal basis and constrained the overall Non-Life premium production as well. Even though it is not within the scope of cover, the industry’s decision to compensate for pandemic related diagnosis and treatment costs without charging any additional premium strengthen the positive perception towards Health Insurance and increased the demand for Private Health and Complementary Health Insurance. The premium income for the business line achieved 21% growth in 2020. Having 16% share in total industry premium production, the premium income of Fire and Natural Catastrophe Perils showed 25% upward movement in nominal terms, which corresponds to 9% growth in real terms. Factors such as increase in housing sales with the impact of the decline recorded in housing loan interest rates at the beginning of June, the sum insured amounts and premiums of a significant portion of the renewed policies for commercial and industrial risks being indexed to foreign exchange or inflation as well as the increased public awareness in the aftermath of earthquake disasters occurred in 2020 and the new earthquake tariff, contributed to the premium growth of the business line.
