Insurers

Swiss pri­vate in­sur­ers are ma­jor tax­pay­ers and, as such, make a sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tion to the coun­try's pulic sec­tor.

With their ex­per­tise in risk cov­er­age and haz­ard pre­ven­tion, in­sur­ers con­tribute to the sta­bil­i­ty of the eco­nom­ic sys­tem and pros­per­i­ty in Switzer­land.

Pri­vate in­sur­ers in most branch­es record­ed a mod­er­ate in­crease in pre­mi­um vol­umes in 2022, ac­cord­ing to the SIA’s pro­jec­tions.

The Swiss in­sur­ance in­dus­try saw a 2.7 per cent in­crease in pre­mi­um vol­umes for non-life busi­ness in 2021 com­pared with the pre­vi­ous year.

An in­creas­ing num­ber of in­sur­ers are in­te­grat­ing ESG cri­te­ria in their in­vest­ment process. Sus­tain­abil­i­ty cri­te­ria are in­volved in 83 per cent of in­vest­ments.

The Swiss in­sur­ance in­dus­try has had a suc­cess­ful year – pre­mi­um vol­umes in both non-life and life in­sur­ance rose again in 2019.

Once more, Swiss pri­vate in­sur­ers show ef­fi­cient per­for­mance and sta­bil­i­ty in 2018.

The Swiss in­sur­ance in­dus­try presents its pre­mi­um da­ta for 2017, con­firm­ing again its sta­tus as an im­por­tant main­spring of the Swiss econ­o­my.
