Director of the Financial Supervisory Authority, Ervin Koçi, in reporting to the Economy Committee, also stated that there was an improvement in the report of the damages to premium ratio, which, for the first time, reached 42%.

“We conduct inspections every three months in every society to see the progress of payments and any delay that can be solved by insurance companies.

“Even for the first quarter, the figure paid put by the entire insurance market was about 2 billion lekë.

“Even companies have realized that this is their responsibility, that payment of damages increases confidence in the market,” explained Ervin Koçi.
