Life insurance in decline

In 2014, life insurance in Algeria achieved a turnover of 8.5 billion DZD (97.2 million USD), down by 1.2% in one year. This decline is closely related to a 83.6% decrease in health insurance underwritings.

These sub-classes of business recorded during the year under review respective evolutions of 17.6%, 9.5% and 22%.
