The Portuguese personal accident and health insurance segment registered a decline in gross written premium terms during the review period (2007-2011). The segment accounted for 10.9% of the industry's total written premium in 2011. The decline was attributed to the country's weak economic development and the ongoing sovereign debt crisis in EU member states. The growth was further discouraged by the declining number of international travelers from Portugal and therefore a weakened demand for travel insurance products during the review period. Moreover, the presence of national and state-run universal health insurance schemes decelerated the growth of private insurance policies. The Portuguese government took decisive actions and introduced an economic stimulus package to spur the country's economy and improve its macroeconomic fundamentals. The segment's written premium is anticipated to value EUR1.2 billion (US$1.67 billion) in 2016, after increasing at a projected CAGR of 0.4% over the forecast period.
