1.2. Claims development: Life 
Unlike premiums, claims payments in the life sector tended to rise in 2020, although differences exist 
across jurisdictions. Gross claims paid increased in real terms in 2020 in two thirds of the reporting 
jurisdictions (Figure 2). Insurers experienced the largest increases in claims payments in real terms in a 
number of Latin American countries, especially Nicaragua (69%), Peru (44%), Honduras (40%) and El 
Salvador (34%). Insurers in Russia also recorded a relatively high growth of claims paid (46%). By contrast, 
claims declined the most in Finland in 2020 (-42%). 
Higher benefit payments in 2020 resulted in some cases from life insurance contracts reaching maturity in 
2020, such as in Portugal and Russia. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation anticipated this peak 
of benefits paid in 2020, following the earlier higher volumes of premiums for 3-year investment contracts 
signed in 2017 (OECD, 2021). Some jurisdictions attributed the increase in claims payments to an increase 
in policy surrenders. This is for example the case of Luxembourg. The Life Insurance Association of Japan 
(2021) also recorded a 23% rise in surrender cash value in Japan in 2020. 
COVID-19 has had mixed effects on benefits paid in the insurance sector in 2020, varying across 
jurisdictions. The higher payments in the life sector in 2020 would be the direct result of the pandemic in 
Latin America (e.g. El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru). According to the Peruvian 
Association of Insurance Companies (APESEG), COVID-19 was responsible for 38% of death benefit 
claims in life insurance in Peru.

By contrast, some countries, such as Australia and Ireland, reported a 
limited effect of COVID-19 on benefits paid by life insurance companies. Australia had one of the lowest 
monthly excess deaths related to COVID-19 in the OECD area (Giattino, Ritchie, Roser, Ortiz-Ospina, & 
Hasell, 2021). Mortality rates from COVID-19 were very low in Australia, with most deaths occurring among 
the elderly, who are less likely to hold life insurance policies. Likewise, in Ireland, the impact of COVID-19 
on insurance claims was limited for life insurers in 2020. Surveys conducted by the Central Bank of Ireland 
on the main domestic life insurers suggested that there was no significant rise in Irish death claims beyond 
normally expected volatility levels, in large part reflecting the fact that the insured population had a younger
