Where Is Ukraine’s Insurance Market Headed? An Interview with Viktor Berlin, Chairman of the Coordination Council of the Federation of Insurance Associations

How is the war changing Ukrainians’ attitudes toward insurance? How does this market contribute to the stability and development of the economy? What do the key reforms outlined in the insurance development strategy through 2030 entail? And why is it impossible to attract large investments for reconstruction without insurance?

Answers to these and other questions can be found in an interview with Viktor Berlin, Chairman of the Coordination Council of the Federation of Insurance Associations of Ukraine and President of the League of Insurance Organizations of Ukraine.

The Federation of Insurance Associations of Ukraine was established in January 2025. The focus was on market consolidation and the industry’s growth prospects. Has the Federation managed to reach a new level of operation after a year of activity?

Viktor Berlin: The creation of the Federation of Insurance Associations of Ukraine marked an important stage in the consolidation of the market as a whole, and this year was more about creativity for all of us: we got to know each other, set goals, and formulated plans for the future.

In light of the European integration processes that are shaping the development of the entire country—including the insurance sector—the Federation has opened a representative office in Brussels at the European Economic and Social Committee, one of the two advisory committees to the European Parliament. We are beginning to participate in relevant working groups. Ultimately, our goal is for insurers to fully comply with EU legislation. Insurance must become an effective tool for economic recovery and for protecting investments in Ukraine’s future.

We also held the UNIC 2026 All-Ukrainian National Insurance Conference, where, for the first time in many years, we brought together the entire Ukrainian insurance market and presented the development directions for the insurance market through 2030, jointly developed by the market and representatives of the National Bank of Ukraine.

In April, I had already presented our vision for the development of the national insurance market to Members of the European Parliament and colleagues from relevant European associations. I was interested to hear feedback specifically from powerful, experienced insurers.
