Keywords: system changes, market regulator, risk management, conflicts of interest, three lines of defense, risk management strategy, analysis, performance indicators, dynamics, future challenges and risks

Abstract

The study found that the challenges for insurers are related to the COVID-19 pandemic, expectations of the new market regulator, and Russia's military aggression. The article shows the growing relevance of insurance risk management in times of crisis. The insurance activities of individual insurers in 2020-2023 are analyzed. The need for a systematic approach to creating new risk management strategies is identified. The regulator's requirements for the insurer to create an effective risk management system, develop risk management strategies and policies, take measures to prevent conflicts of interest and facilitate their resolution are identified. The author establishes a new approach of the regulator to insurer risk management based on the division of responsibilities, which is based on the system of three lines of defense. The author proposes to consider risk management not as a sequence of stages, but as a cyclical process in which new risks are identified, assessed, resolved and controlled. It is shown that the creation of an effective risk management strategy ensures operational timeliness of payments, continuity of the insurance process, protection of insurer's assets, satisfaction of policyholders, achievement of goals and increase of profitability. The systemic strategies of risk management in the insurance sector are studied. The indicators are analyzed, the dynamics of insurance activities of the insurance companies ARX, UNIQA, TAS SG, USG, and ARSENAL are studied. A study of the diversification of insurance companies' activities in terms of insurance premiums received in 2022 by type of insurance was carried out. Future challenges in the areas of climate change, information technology, accounting policy and risk management that may create risks in insurance activities are identified. The conclusions and necessary recommendations are provided. Risk management approaches of insurers differ in concepts and methods. The challenges that currently shape the environment of insurance activity, which we studied in the period 2020-2023, require a systematic approach and the creation of appropriate risk management strategies and policies.
