More detailed insurance company specific data can be found in the database tables of these statistics and
from the web pages of other organisations that produce insurance data (link in the left-hand menu under
"Links" of the statistics' home page).
Statistics Finland publishes new statistics on Insurance activities. The statistics cover activity data of
employment pension, life insurance and non-life insurance companies, e.g. profit and loss account, balance
sheet, and classes of insurance and insurance portfolio. The data are based on the Financial Supervision
Authority's data collection on domestic activities of corporations engaged in the insurance markets. It
should be noted that insurance companies' financial statements and the indicators calculated based on
these differ considerably from the financial statement formula of enterprises operating in other industries.
The financial statement structure differs in many respects between employment pension, life insurance
and non-life insurance companies. The data concerning life insurance and non-life insurance companies
also include branches abroad.
