“The very rapid expansion of retail business lines has led to important changes in the operating environment, exposing local insurance companies to the risks of inadequate pricing and reserving in less mature segments,” said Anastasia Voronkova, associate director with Fitch’s insurance team in Moscow.

That sounds like it’ll be an entertaining mess to clean up.
