Overview

Introduction

In recent years the markets of Central and Eastern Europe have become extremely interesting for life and pensions providers. Penetration of life insurance and pensions products is low, providing a huge opportunity for insurers to expand provision. Simultaneously, reforms have been introduced to enhance standards of provision to those seen in Western Europe. Opportunities abound for providers looking to expand their domestic operations, or to move into new geographies.
