Summary/Abstract: This study presents the results of a survey conducted in 2017 on the insurance market in Bulgaria, carried out under Project № 22-2017 of the Institute for Scientific Research. The main objective of the survey is to outline the state of the insurance market in Bulgaria after the accession of Bulgaria to the European Union. The argument is that Bulgaria's accession to the European Union will lead to an expansion of the insurance sector and increase in the financial stability of insurers. Proving the thesis has been achieved by solving the following important tasks: - outlining the situation and trends in the development of key macroeconomic indicators for the period 2007-2016 related to insurance. - outlining the trends in the development of the insurance sector for the period 2007-2016. - outlining the indicators that characterize the place of insurance in the economy for the period 2007-2016. It was found that insurance companies in Bulgaria are financially stable. The pace of development of the insurance market outpaces the rate of growth of gross domestic product. The pace of development of insurance payments lags behind the rate of growth of gross premium income. The pace of investment development in the country outpaces the pace of investment development of insurance companies. Within the period under review, insurance penetration and insurance density are significantly lagging behind the other EU countries.
