In the first half of 2006, Swiss Life in Luxembourg increases premium income by 24% compared to the same period last year and consolidates its half-year result.
In the first half of 2006, the premium income of Swiss Life in Luxembourg amounted to 151.7 million euros compared to 121.9 million euros for the first half of 2005: an increase of 24%. Be it in group insurance on the local market, solutions for expatriates and third country nationals or assurfinance (life insurance products for European high net worth individuals), all business activities contributed to this growth. However, the rise in premium income was particularly marked in assurfinance on the French and Italian markets.
With a result for the first half of 2006 amounting to nearly 2.4 million euros in local standards, Swiss Life in Luxembourg achieved a slight increase of its benefit compared to the prior-year period (2.3 million euros). This benefit is mainly derived from an improvement of the result on death and disability risks, from contained operating expenses and is achieved despite a significant decrease (- 1.2 million euros) of the financial result due to higher realised gains during the same period last year.
The company continues to focus on the strategic priorities set by the Swiss Life Group: achieve sustainable and profitable growth and strengthen operational efficiency to increase profitability.
