Talanx increased its insurance revenue by 5 percent (nominal increase of 2 percent) to EUR 24.2 (23.6) billion after adjusting for currency effects. The Group result rose by 26 percent to a new record level of EUR 1,373 (1,090) million. The growth in profit was driven primarily by a strong operating business performance, normalised large loss payments and positive currency effects in the second quarter. The return on equity was 23.4 (20.3) percent.
Primary insurance (51 percent) and reinsurance (49 percent) contributed roughly equal shares to the net income.
