This chapter is empirical. The authors present the result of their own research concerning insurance markets integration in the EU (1999–2020). First of all, they present the results of the research concerning the degree of insurance integration in the euro area and econometric analysis of the dependency between the insurance markets integration and economic growth in the EU and especially in the euro area (1999–2019). After it, they analyse the impact of financial crisis (2008–2012) on the insurance markets integration in the euro area.
