The Slovenia Insurance Supervision Agency published data on cross-border insurance and reinsurance activity for 2024, in the context of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority’s annual quantitative reporting on cross-border business within the European Economic Area. The release distinguishes between business conducted through branches in the host country (freedom of establishment, FoE) and business written directly from another EEA member state (freedom of services, FoS), and frames cross-border flows as exports and imports of insurance services for Slovenia. The agency reported eight foreign branches headquartered in Slovenia (three from Austria and one each from Croatia, Hungary, Germany, Spain and France), while Slovenian insurers had one branch in Croatia and one in Greece. All Slovenian insurers had authorisation to conduct direct business abroad in 2024, and more than 600 foreign insurers had authorisation to provide services into Slovenia. Total exports of insurance services were EUR 237 million and total imports were EUR 352 million, with exports concentrated in Poland (FoS), Croatia (FoE and FoS), Norway (FoS) and Greece (FoE and FoS), and imports led by Austria (FoE and FoS), Croatia (FoE and FoS), Luxembourg (FoS) and Germany (FoE and FoS).
