In 1993, Ukrgosstrakh was transformed into the Public Joint-Stock Company «National Joint-Stock Insurance Company «Oranta», the founder of which was the State Property Fund of Ukraine. In 2007, the State Property Fund of Ukraine sold to the investor the last shareholding which was in state ownership.

In addition, PJSC «NJSIC «ORANTA» stably ranks first in terms of the volume of insurance premiums for compulsory insurance of civil liability of owners of land vehicles. The growth of the insurance payments earned on the background of a partial reduction in the level of payments in the second and third quarters of 2018 contributed to the improvement of the combined indicator of loss-making (up to 99.2%) and the reduction of the negative financial result of the current year to UAH 9.1 million.

The affirming of the long-term credit rating grade is due to the strong market positions, the presence of well-developed sales channels, which contributes to the stable dynamics of insurance payments, sufficient indicators of solvency (as of 01.10.2018, the actual solvency margin exceeded the regulatory reserve by almost twice times), as well as sufficient levels of diversification and quality of assets, which represented the insurance reserves. In turn, IBI-Rating notes a significant amount of losses of previous years, reducing its capitalization level, high value of the combined loss ratio, instability of the operating environment, the variability of the regulatory field, as well as the sensitivity of the company's revenue base to changing the situation in the real sector.
