Despite an evolving macroeconomic scenario, thanks to the business actions taken to recover and maintain profitability and to the strategic initiatives launched, the Group confirms its commitment to pursue sustainable growth, enhance its earnings profile and lead innovation.

• Gross written premiums increased to € 41.9 billion (+2.4%), driven by strong growth in P&C (+8.5%), led by the non-motor line. Life premiums were stable (-0.5%). Life net inflows were resilient at € 6.2 billion, supported by growth in protection and unit-linked, offsetting a reduction in the savings line, consistent with the repositioning of the Life business portfolio
