This is observed against the backdrop of an acceleration in the annual growth of active contracts from 7.9% to 9.3%, and the volume of insurance premiums from 17.4% to 18.3%:

The decline in this indicator began in May of this year, after rising for the previous four months, while throughout 2025, a decrease was noted from 81.8% to 76.3%:
