      <subfield code="a">The objective of this paper is to analyse the risks to the stability of the Macedonian insurance sector and to quantify its resilience to shocks. In the empirical economic model, insurance sector stability, as measured through the log of the solvency margin, is a function of total claims settled in total gross premiums, market concentration, product concentration, deposit interest rates, inflation rate and GDP growth. The analysis covers all 11 non-life insurance companies over the period from 2008:Q4 to 2014:Q2, using panel methods and Monte Carlo simulation. The results suggest that only claims settled as a measure of individual insurance risks and the inflation rate as a measure of market risks affect the stability of the Macedonian insurance sector. Stress simulations indicate that the Macedonian insurance sector remains robust even under extreme shocks. However, the stress tests of the individual companies reveal that 3 out of 11 companies fail the stress test.</subfield>
