• The industry is exposed to investment and reinvestment risk arising from persistently low interest rates. 

• Most insurers in Slovakia cede premiums to reinsurers established by their parent companies.

• As Solvency II increases the firm's capital requirements and raises fixed costs, it will drain resources that previously would have been allocated to business operations.
