OREANDA-NEWS. November 03, 2009. The new rules for settlement of OMTPL losses involving the direct loss compensation procedure became effective on 01 March of the running year. During the first seven months of application of the new rules, IC ROSNO settled losses under 221 loss claims submitted by its insurants. The largest growth in the number of loss claims submitted under the direct loss compensation rules was demonstrated in September (+160%), reported the press-centre of ROSNO.

In September, amounts paid under the direct loss settlement system accounted for about 2.5% of all OMTPL payments made by the company.

Slightly less than a half of all payments effected by ROSNO under the direct loss compensation rules (46%) since introduction of the new system were made in Moscow. The leader among regions is Privolzhsky Federal Okrug (14%), followed by North-Western Federal Okrug (10%) Ural Federal Okrug (9%), and Central Federal Okrug (9%).

"In our opinion, during its more than seven-month operation, the direct loss settlement system has demonstrated its efficiency. We are seeing the growing public awareness and trust for the new approach, which is evidenced by intensive growth in the number of applications from our clients", notes Mr. Andrey Afonasyev, Deputy Director of the Analysis, Monitoring, Methodology and Control Department of OJSC IC ROSNO.
