That was how the German business described its performance when Talanx released the group’s financial results for the first quarter of the year. Here’s how Talanx fared in the period:

“The trend in the first quarter is extremely positive and represents a good start to the year even without the special effects,” stated Torsten Leue, chair of Talanx AG’s board of management. “Our group has grown and all divisions contributed to the strong results.
“This shows that our growth initiatives are paying off and that the measures taken to optimise industrial lines and retail Germany are working across the board.”
