Generali Group 2016 first half results

The Generali Group’s results in the first six months of the year were solid. The technical performances of both segments recorded growth: in the P&C segment, the combined ratio improved to 92.3% (-0.3 p.p.) and in the life segment, the technical margin, net of insurance expenses, rose by 49%.

Despite the lower financial profitability resulting from market volatility and the current scenario of lower interest rates, the Group maintained excellent levels of operating profitability: with an annualised operating RoE2 at 12.9%.

This performance demonstrates the effectiveness of our business model in a macroeconomic and political environment that is even more uncertain, characterised by volatility of financial markets, record low interest rates and exacerbated by the natural catastrophe claims in May and June in Europe.
