The insurance industry plays a very significant role in the economy of a certain country, and the level of its development considerably affects the development of the economy. In the area of infectious diseases, a pandemic is the worst case scenario. The word pandemic originates from the Greek word pandemos, which means "applies to all people", and is derived from the words pan "everyone" and demos "people". Certain economic sectors are strongly affected by the pandemic, while others are growing and developing despite the overall situation. Therefore, this research study gives a brief overview of the impact of the pandemic on certain economic parameters at the national level, such as the gross domestic product, the number of unemployed, the impact on exports and imports, and the impact on financial markets and the automotive industry. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the emergence of the crisis caused by the COVID-19 virus affected the operations of insurance companies, i.e. how it was reflected in the outcome of insurance operations, taking into account the impact on solvency and the technical result of automobile liability insurance. On the basis of the financial reports of insurance companies, an analysis of data and key indicators was carried out, and conclusions were drawn about the companies' operations during the pandemic.
