    Premium and lines: FSC (Financial Supervision Commission), market statistics per insurer, sheet Premiums written - gross, by Solvency II line. Claims, expenses and solvency: the insurer's SFCR for FY 2025, templates S.05.01 and S.23.01; claims, expenses and solvency for FY 2021–2024 from the SFCRs of those years. For FY 2021–2022 the insurers whose SFCR has no S.05.01 (Euroins, Lev Ins, Bul Ins, Allianz Bulgaria and smaller ones) count with earned premium, claims and expenses, gross and after reinsurance, from their statutory income statements in FSC's annual statistics: a mixed basis, mostly within 4 points of S.05.01 and usually a little lower where both exist (quality grade B). How these numbers are built.
