Looking at the entire first half of 2014, the premium volume amounted to &euro; 9.25 billion, a rise of 1.89% compared with the same period of 2013.<\/p><p>When broken down according to individual insurance sectors, premium volume in Q2 2014 increased for non-life and accident insurance by 2.07% to &euro; 2.03 billion, for health insurance by 3.5% to &euro; 464 million and for life assurance by 2.89% to &euro; 1.64 billion.<\/p><p>Compared with the same half-year period of the previous year, the technical account balance grew by nearly 15% (+&euro; 56.2 million) and the financial result increased by 3% (+&euro; 53 million), leading to a roughly &euro; 90.8 million or 9% increase in the result from ordinary activities to total &euro; 1.10 billion in the first six months.<\/p><p>The total carrying amount of all assets (excluding deposits retained, investments in the area of unit-linked and index-linked life assurance, investments relating to state-sponsored retirement provision and pro rata interest) increased to &euro; 85.24 billion, which corresponds to a rise of 0.28% as at the end of June 2014 compared with the previous quarter.<\/p><p>At the end of the last quarter, hidden net reserves (the balance of hidden reserves and unrealised losses) showed an increase of +8.85% compared with the previous quarter, amounting to &euro; 19.36 billion. Thus the ratio of reserves to investments amounted to 22.2%.<\/p><p>The core share ratio (listed shares, share-based investment funds, share risk in mixed funds) was up slightly in Q2 2014, rising to 3.50% from the previous quarter&rsquo;s level of 3.47%. The extended share ratio (i.e. with the addition of non-listed shares including holdings, structured debt securities without capital guarantee and structured loans without capital guarantee) fell from 17.44% as at the end of March 2014 to 17.33% as at the end of June 2014.<\/p><p>You can find the full Quarterly Report (in German) on the FMA website at:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fma.gv.at\/en\/insurance\/disclosure\/quarterly-reports\/\">&nbsp;https:\/\/www.fma.gv.at\/versicherungen\/offenlegung\/quartalsberichte\/<\/a><\/p><p><strong>Journalists may address further enquiries to:<\/strong><br>\nKlaus Grubelnik (FMA Media Spokesperson)<br>\n+43\/(0)1\/24959-6006<br>\n+43\/(0)676\/882 49 516<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>strong increase in technical account balance, slight increases in premium revenues and financial result<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":60,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-release"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
