3. CTP insurance is the most popular and largest type of insurance according to the turnover, which is one of the main sources of incomes for the Latvian insurance companies. This is explained by the fact that the CTP insurance is compulsory, and if a person wants to move through the Latvian and EU public roads, CTP insurance is required.
4. CTP insurance market in Latvia as well has been affected by the global economical crisis, after the quick rise in the 2007 and in 2008, it has also experienced a sharp decline. This is mainly due to the decline of CTP insurance prices rather than the drop in number of customers;
