Review of Covid-19 related business interruption exposure in international markets


After the reporting date, Sava Re was informed of new circumstances that had arisen in certain EU insurance markets and in the United Kingdom related to potential additional adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the operations of Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava Re, which primarily pertain to Covid-19–related claims on policies written in the Republic of Ireland (under freedom of services rules) and reinsurance contracts written in the United Kingdom for business interruption coverage as part of property policies.
v Based on current detailed analyses of its insurance exposure, the Group has concluded that Covid-related business interruption claims are not covered under its policies written directly under freedom of services rules in the European Union. Regarding its exposure under reinsurance contracts, there may be coverage in some cases.
In the last quarter of 2020, the Group will set provisions up to €10 million for potential expenses and claims in this regard.
