The activity of commercial insurance companies in the Slovak insurance market will in the future be influenced by the development of information technologies, which must be used also for investment activity. Very important is the interconnection- Information highway between commercial insurance companies as well as between insurance companies and their clients. Qualified use of these information technologies will lead in the future to a reduction in service and thus to a competitive advantage. Clients of commercial insurance companies are inadequately informed, for example, about the residual value of life insurance claims. They do not have enough information on the disposable value of the indemnity in case of early termination of the insurance contract and are not informed of the disadvantage of early termination of the life insurance contract. The main objective of the regulation should be stability, security, credibility in the insurance market for clients of commercial insurance companies. Only an efficiently functioning insurance market can ensure the performance and development of the economy.
