VIG units Erste BiztosĂtĂł and Vienna Life BiztosĂtĂł merged into Union BiztosĂtĂł, which announced the merger last spring.
The three units had a combined market share of 7.6% at the end of 2016, MTI noted. Their revenue from premiums came to HUF 69.8 bln, including HUF 26.1 bln from general insurance policies and HUF 43.6 bln from life policies.
VIG has said it aims to boost its market share in Hungary to at least 10% in the mid-term.
