For many years, the dominant positions in the insurance market, especially in car and property insurance, have been held by insurance companies owned by banks.
Some insurance companies have been heavily criticized for their connection with banks not only in insurance, but also in other businesses, for this reason a law was passed banning the ownership of non-core assets by banks. But despite this, the problem still remains acute.
The insurance sector have repeatedly tried to force the government to put into effect the law banning non-core assets as ties of insurance companies with the banking sector violates the principles of free competition putting other players in an unequal position.
