Loss events were reimbursed in the amount of EUR 2.3 million and 12,700 new loss events were recorded. The net expense ratio in November was higher than usual, reaching 30.7%. This was primarily due to additional costs associated with the sales campaign. However, the campaign positively impacted results, supporting strong growth in both motor own damage insurance and motor third party liability insurance sales.
