The market portfolio's structure in GWP terms remained almost unchanged, except for the slightly decreasing motor insurance share in behalf of the property lines. Yet, in absolute terms, both motor and property lines have contributed with about EUR 1 million each to the total GWP y-o-y increase of about EUR 5 million. A similar contribution was provided by the life insurance sector.
