“We continue to report good growth in the area of non-motor insurance, both in the retail segment and for corporate and affinity insurance. At the same time, we have a good evolution in terms of profitability in the first six months, and this shows that we are developing our business in a sustainable way. We pay attention to what is really important to our customers and we focus on continuously improving the products and services we offer them. We recently revised the home insurance product, adding extra benefits to the coverages frequently accessed by customers so that we can support them in situations where they need financial protection the most. At the same time, we continue to be one of the fair and transparent players when it comes to paying claims and maintain high standards for the quality of services accessed by customers. This year, we are proud to mark 15 years of activity in Romania, and our success is based both on the experience gained locally and on the solid reputation built by UNIQA during a presence of more than 200 years of the financial group at European level. We have strong ambitions, assuming an increasingly relevant contribution at the regional level. We are a trusted partner for customers, for the business environment and we act responsibily in the community, for living better together”, said Paul Cazacu, President of Directorate – CEO, UNIQA Asigurari.
