The entry of Ukraine into the global financial system requires a gradual transition to state supervision and regulation based at international principles set by the agreements and standards of international organizations. Thus, the study and implementation of a range of activities and innovations at the state level aimed at introducing new conditions in the insurance industry, which does not change the fundamentals of the system but leads to the elimination of problems and contradictions in the insurance market is relevant. The purpose of this article is to define approaches to improve state regulation of the insurance market in the European integration processes. Methods. Insurance theory and insurance concepts are the methodological basis of the study. Results. This article describes an experiment in defining an influence level of a mega-regulator on the Ukrainian insurance market. The alternative options of creating an effective governmental regulation of the Ukrainian insurance market were justified with the use of hierarchical analysis method. Conclusions.
