The property and casualty (P&C) sector saw its total business volume climb by 7.3% to €17.6bn, with Germany, AGCS (Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty), central and eastern Europe, and Italy being the primary growth drivers.
Operating profit for P&C experienced a 1.6% to €1.6bn, attributed to a higher operating investment result, which was partially offset by lower other operating and insurance service results.
In the life and health segment, the present value of new business premiums surged to €16.7bn, supported by increased volumes in the US and Italy, despite some offsets due to foreign currency translation effects and economic impacts.
The operating profit in this segment rose to €1.36bn from €1.05bn in Q4 2022, with the US, Asia-Pacific and France contributing notably to this growth.
