The lowest dynamics of growth in payments was observed in Gunay Sigorta insurance company - 10.8 percent.

Ipek Yolu Sigorta mainly specializes in specific types of insurance related to air transport and air transportation. Accordingly, the lion's share of the fees and claims of this insurer is associated with them.

In general, an increase in insurance claims in the non-life insurance segment is related to the increased loss ratio on compulsory liability insurance of motor vehicle owners and property insurance.
