Summary

The Republic of Belarus is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe bordered by Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania and Latvia.

The Belarusian insurance industry grew in terms of written premium value from BYR954.1 billion (US$446.6 million) in 2008 to BYR4.3 trillion (US$520.3 million) in 2012, recording a CAGR of 46.0% during the review period (2008- 2012).
