Abstract: The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we explore the effects of individual and economic risks on profitability using five methods for a panel of 11 NorthMacedonian non-life insurance companies from 2009:Q1 to 2018:Q4. The results indicate that liquidated damages in gross written premiums, market concentration and GDP growth significantly affect the profitability of the NorthMacedonian insurance sector. Second, we conduct stress testing for the whole NorthMacedonian non-life insurance sector. The results show that the shock of liquidated damages in gross written premiums has the largest negative impact on the NorthMacedonian insurance sector profitability.
