Romania is one of the 6 countries bordering the Black Sea, and occupies the north-east corner of the Balkan peninsula. It has a land mass of 237,500 sq km, with a mostly mountainous and wooded centre, and a flatter outer rim. The insurance market is characterised by quite low insurance penetration, possibly as a result of post-Communist economy and a lack of insurance awareness in the public. 

In 2018 total gross written premiums (life and non-life) were RON 10.14bn. Non-life (excluding personal accident and healthcare) accounted for RON 7.64bn. Motor is the largest class.

There were 28 insurance companies authorised to operate in the Romanian market in 2018. Of these six were composites, 15 were non-life companies and seven were life insurers. There were also 11 branches authorised in other EU member states conducting their activity (non-life and life) in Romania under freedom of establishment.
