Abstract
Aim. To assess the practical significance of the possible implementation of some proposals aimed at the development of the insurance market, based on the analysis of statistical data on the activities of insurance organizations and mutual insurance societies, particularly in the field of insurance of civil liability of notaries.
Objectives. With the help of statistical data on the activity of insurance organizations and mutual insurance societies to identify the practical significance of the initiative and its impact on the development of mutual insurers in the insurance industry.
Methods. The present study is built on the basis of empirical methods such as observation, comparison, generalization, induction, deduction.
Results. The authors analyzed the activity of insurance companies in 2023 in the aspect of insurance organizations and mutual insurance societies, including the impact and significance of the type of insurance of civil liability of notaries on the insurance industry. Taking into account the actually full coverage of notaries by insurance services required by law, there are no problems in the conclusion and execution of these insurance contracts, according to the author’s position. The presence of an insignificant number of insurance organizations in this segment and small volumes of premiums in relation to the total premium collections indicate a low interest of insurers in this type of insurance. Today the market of compulsory insurance of notaries is actually covered and closed for new players. The authors believe that admission of mutual insurers to this segment will not practically lead to the development of mutual insurance and improvement of the insurance market as a whole.
Conclusions. Despite the tasks set by supervisory and regulatory authorities to strengthen and develop the insurance market, the initiatives put forward to modernize the mutual insurance market are noteworthy and are certainly important, timely, but insufficient for the realization of the set tasks. The authors conclude that the admission of mutual insurers only to the market of notaries’ liability insurance will not be a significant stimulus for the development of mutual insurance and improvement of the Russian insurance market.
