Insurance company Omniasig in the first nine months of the year logged a 318% surge in underwritten loan insurance policies and warranties as compared to the corresponding period of last year, to about 16 million euros (about 58 million RON).

In the first three quarters, Omniasig registered almost 50% higher gross underwritten premiums, from the corresponding period of last year, to 80 million euros (289.5 million RON).
One of the most dynamic sectors of the insurer''s business has been the optional car insurance, up 55% in euros, to a level of 27.3 million euros (about 98.8 million RON).
