The article analyzes the quantitative indicators of the risk of unfair actions in the field of CTP in the regions of Siberia, identifies the causes of the unfavorable situation, the consequences of a socio-economic nature, and provides proposals aimed at reducing the risk. To improve the efficiency and quality of services in the CTP market, it is necessary to assess the factors constraining its development, regularly conduct communication activities between government authorities and the insurance business, differentiate quantitative indicators when assessing damage taking into account regional specifics, develop an insurance culture and accessibility of CTP services in remote areas.
