The Deutsche R\u00fcck Group reported a strong performance for the 2024 financial year, with gross premiums written increasing across all business segments, up 18.3% year-over-year to approximately \u20ac2.1 billion.<\/p>\n

\"\"According to the firm, this growth was driven by both its international operations and its domestic business in Germany.<\/p>\n

Property insurance, which represents more than two-thirds of Deutsche R\u00fcck\u2019s total gross premiums, saw a significant increase of 16.5%, reaching \u20ac1.4 billion in 2024.<\/p>\n

Additionally, total security resources grew by \u20ac375.8 million, surpassing \u20ac3.1 billion in 2024, and investment income amounted to \u20ac74.8 million.<\/p>\n

Overall, the reinsurer posted a net profit after taxes of \u20ac14.5 million for the year, marking an increase from \u20ac12 million in 2023.<\/p>\n

Still, gross claims incurred in 2024 were higher than in 2023, partly due to natural disasters, including flooding from the ORINOCO-QUIRINA-RADHA and ANETT low-pressure systems in Europe, as well as heavy rainfall in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

“Thanks to Deutsche R\u00fcck Group’s retrocession programme focused on property business, the net claims incurred rose only moderately,” the firm explained.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the results, Frank Schaar, Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche R\u00fcck, stated, \u201cClaims were on a satisfactory level in 2024. We are well below our calculated expectations in both NatCat and fire business.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the life insurance segment, the company recorded a 9.7% increase in gross premiums for 2024, totalling \u20ac84.2 million.<\/p>\n

This was supported by the expansion of its life and health reinsurance business into the Middle East and North Africa.<\/p>\n

Schaar added, \u201cWe grew strongly and profitably in all business areas in 2024. Our strategy of gradually and purposefully internationalising our business over the recent years is paying off.<\/p>\n

“Our financial strength is an important factor in the expansion of our international business. We expect further premium growth for 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n
