Triglav, a Slovenia-based insurance-financial company, is all set to foray into the life insurance market of Macedonia in November 2017.
The company has been operating in Macedonia as a non-life insurance provider since 2007, where it enjoys a market share of 18%.
The group sees potential for growth in the Macedonian life insurance market due to lower insurance penetration.
It expects the market conditions to be challenging as life insurance segment is closely linked with the general economic situation in a particular country.
At present, four life insurance companies are operating in tight competitive conditions.
According to Zavarovalnica Triglav, the controlling company of the Triglav Group, the insurer will set up a life insurance company Triglav Osiguruvanje Zivot in Macedonia next month.
