Non-life insurance

Profit for ordinary activities for non-life insurance companies saw a positive development by the end of the third quarter 2003. At the same time in 2002 non-life insurance companies had an aggregate deficit. The reason for the improved result is that net income from financial assets has increased considerably. In addition, earned premiums have increased by 10.1 per cent, while claims incurred increased by only 5.6 per cent from third quarter 2002 to the third quarter 2003.
