Life insurance was the largest segment in the Finnish insurance industry in 2012, accounting for 81.8% of the industry's gross written premium in 2012. Pure risk, capital-redemption and unit-linked policies will record considerable growth between 2012 and 2018, although the opposite will be the case with guaranteed-return policies due to subdued interest rates on government bonds. The solvency margin of life insurers was more than five times the required level in 2012.
