Insurance companies in Uruguay, Seguros Uruguay

Uruguay has a good and effective Insurance sector. After the liberalization of the industry in 1993, which ended the monopoly of state insurer Banco de Seguros del Estado (BSE), several private insurance companies entered the industry, with a total of 16 registered companies at the end of 2012. The industry is highly competitive; BSE still accounted for 69.3% of the total gross written premium in 2012, leaving smaller companies to compete on price and targeting niche segments to grow and maintain profitability and market share.

Uruguay’s insurance (Seguros) industry, once monopolised by state-run Banco de Seguros del Estado, is gradually presenting opportunities for insurers, particularly those who can capitalise on the non-life sector’s growth potential. 

Many of the Insurance  companies in Uruguay are located in the capital city Montevideo
