Report Overview:
The Belgian life segment accounted for the largest proportion of gross written premium in
the countrys insurance industry, with a share of 65.3% in 2013, after registering a CAGR of
3.6% during the review period (2009-2013). The slow growth was attributed to the sovereign
debt crisis, which led to a rise in unemployment and a reduction in wages. It was further
discouraged by political instability and a credit rating downgrade by Standard & Poors and
Moodys.

Life insurance products linked to the stock market - such as unit-linked and pension
insurance products - registered growth during the review period. These categories declined
sharply in 2008 and 2009 due to the economic crisis, but recovered in 2010 and 2012, which
attracted consumers to individual unit-linked products, increasing their demand.
High life expectancy supported the life segment and sustained its growth during the review
period. This is also anticipated to benefit the segment over the forecast period, specifically
endowment, term, pension and retirement products.
