France and the Middle East
The business volume written by our life branch in Paris – which bears responsibility not only for France but also for other French-speaking countries and countries in the Middle East – surpassed the EUR 500 million mark for the first time in the year under review. The main growth driver in these regions continues to be protection against biometric risks in the area of consumer and mortgage credit. The quality of this premium volume was borne out by a very pleasing result.
