GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:participação
English translation:claims

Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Insurance / Insurance fraud
Portuguese term or phrase: participação
I believe this is in reference to insurance. It's for a Powerpoint file, and I do not have other materials for context. My understanding is that "seguro" is insurance and that participação = "shares" "stake", etc. but I do not understand the word in the context of insurance or seguro. Thanks for your help.

"A extensão da Fraude, no seguros, varia entre países e por linha de negócio"

"Ainda assim, existe consenso ao definir que o total de fraude, detectada e não-detectada, ascende a 10% de todas as participações, na Europa."

Only "claims" was supposed to be bolded. My apologies.

premiums/participants


Explanation:
Isabella,
Are there any figures that give the size of premiums paid, for example, in each business line (home, motor etc)? Or is this about higher level figures, ie 10% of the total of all profits that (insurance) company/ies (in Europe) make?

Note that premiums paid will tend to rise if there are a great many fraudulent claims made (particularly in the motor insurance business). These URLs may help!
