Insurance in Ireland is well developed, diverse, and with a large international business
presence. Insurance penetration in Ireland is almost three times the EU average; average premiums
per capita is four times the EU average. The Irish insurance sector is a significant provider in the EU of
unit-linked business, and its reinsurance sector is the third largest in Europe. It accounts for
3.6 percent of the total EU insurance premium, and the assets held by the sector amount to EUR
321.3 billion. The sector comprises nonlife, life and reinsurance undertakings that operate in a range
of markets, both domestically and internationally. From the total insurance premium of EUR 76
billion, EUR 61.9 billion (81.5 percent) is on risks outside Ireland (assuming that reinsurance business
is all international). The majority of the insurers operating in Ireland are subsidiaries of large
international insurance parents.
