January 8 (SeeNews) - Bulgaria's EIG Re intends to start offering fire and natural forces insurance and other damage to property insurance insurance in the Netherlands, according to a statement by Bulgaria's Financial Supervision Commission (FSC).
Bulgaria's financial regulator has informed its Dutch peer regarding the company's plans, the FSC said in a statement on Tuesday.
In the first ten months of 2019, EIG Re was among Bulgaria's smallest insurers with gross written premiums (GWP) of 2.1 million levs ($1.2 million/1.1 million euro), equal to a 0.1% market share. The company booked half of its GWP in the review period from fire and natural forces insurance.
