Düsseldorf, 21 May 2025 – The Deutsche Rück Group further expanded its business in the 2024 financial year while simultaneously strengthening its financial position.

Growth came from both international markets and the German domestic market. Total security resources rose by €375.8 million to more than €3.1 billion.

In the liability, accident and motor insurance lines, the second-largest segment of Deutsche Rück's portfolio, gross premiums rose by 23.9% to €485.8 million.
