The share of  retail payments prevails in insurance payouts by the five insurers,  and Rosgosstrakh Armenia insurance company holds the lead - 90.9%  (with a y-o-y increase in the absolute value by 41%). And only in  INGO Armenia's portfolio of insurance claims the share of corporate  payouts prevails - 52.3% (with a y-o-y increase in the absolute value  by 63%).
