The shareholders of insurance companies operated capital inflows worth 300-350 million euros last year as support for their business, considering the stakes on this market are huge, given the high growth potential expected after the economy rebounds.
The share capital of insurers is therefore close to 1 billion euros, accounting for almost one third of the total share capital of the banking system, 3.3 billion euros (November 2009).
