Looking at the first nine months of 2013, the premium volume amounted to &euro; 12.81 billion, which is a slight rise of 1.17%. Outside Austria, insurers collected premiums worth &euro; 6.67 billion, or 2.7% less, during the same period. All in all, the premium volume of Austrian insurers in the domestic and international markets fell by 0.2% to &euro; 19.48 billion. The news was disclosed in the Report on Q3 2013 Performance of the Austrian Insurance Sector, published today by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA).<br>\nIn terms of the various insurance sectors, premiums in the life assurance segment decreased by 4.4% to &euro; 1.43 billion in the third quarter due to lower income generated by one-off premiums of classic life assurance products. The segments of non-life and accident insurance (+2.0% to &euro; 1.85 billion) and health insurance (+3.6% to &euro; 452 million) succeeded in achieving higher premiums.<br>\nThe technical account balance rose by nearly 10% in the first nine months of the current financial year. The financial result dropped by 1.8% compared with the same period in 2012. The result from ordinary activities increased by some &euro; 73.3 million or 6.9% to total &euro; 1.14 billion.<br>\nThe total carrying amount of all assets (excluding deposits retained, investments in the area of unit-linked and index-linked life assurance, pro rata interest) increased to &euro; 83.66 billion, which corresponds to a rise of 0.46% as at the end of September 2013 compared with the previous quarter.<br>\nThe core share ratio (listed shares, share-based investment funds, share risk in mixed funds) gave way slightly in Q3 2013, dropping from the previous quarter&rsquo;s level of 3.54% to 3.50%. At 15.34%, the extended share ratio, i.e. including unlisted shares (including holdings), structured debt securities without capital guarantee and loans without capital guarantee, corresponded roughly to the previous quarter.<br>\nThe financial result of foreign subsidiaries owned by Austrian groups fell to &euro; 496 million during the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of 4.6% over the same period in 2012. Roughly 77% of all assets (&euro; 15.89 billion) were held as investments in bonds and cash. At 3.2%, the share of investments held as reserves by foreign subsidiaries was unchanged.<br>\nThe full Quarterly Report can be found (in German) on the FMA website at:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fma.gv.at\/en\/insurance\/disclosure\/quarterly-reports\/\">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>slight decline in premium revenues, result from ordinary activities up<\/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-5752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-release"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
