Vienna Insurance Group Reports Solid Results in the First Half of 2026
Vienna Insurance Group (VIG), the leading insurance group in Central and Eastern Europe, reported solid financial results for the first half of 2026, confirming its path of profitable growth and dynamic development in its key markets.
According to the press release published by the Group, result before taxes increased by 20.7% to EUR 641.5 million. Insurance service revenue rose by 7.1% to EUR 6.8 billion, while gross written premiums increased by 5.4% to EUR 9.0 billion. At the same time, the net combined ratio improved to 91.4%, and the solvency ratio remained at a high level of 272%.
Hartwig Löger, CEO of Vienna Insurance Group, noted that the results for the first half of the year confirm the Group’s profitable growth trajectory and dynamic development in the Central and Eastern European region. Based on this performance, VIG reaffirms its outlook of achieving a result before taxes of between EUR 1.25 billion and EUR 1.30 billion for the 2026 financial year, excluding NÜRNBERGER.
Profit growth was supported by the positive development of the total capital investment result and the improvement of the net combined ratio. All Group segments generated positive results before taxes, with the highest percentage increases recorded in the segments Extended CEE, Special Markets and Austria.
VIG also reported an increase in insurance service revenue across all segments and lines of business. As regards gross written premiums, the positive development was mainly driven by the core market of Central and Eastern Europe, where several countries recorded growth rates above the Group average.
Another important indicator is the net combined ratio, which improved to 91.4%, compared to 91.9% in the same period of the previous year. This development reflects efficient risk management and an improvement in the claims level.
The Group’s financial position remains very solid. Vienna Insurance Group’s solvency ratio stood at 272% at the end of the first half of the year, while the Group benefits from an “A+” rating with a positive outlook from the international rating agency Standard & Poor’s.

More than 50 insurance companies and pension funds in 30 countries form a group with a long-standing tradition, strong brands and close customer relations. Around 34,000 VIG employees serve approximately 36 million customers on a daily basis.
For Moldasig, belonging to Vienna Insurance Group represents an important benchmark of stability, international expertise and long-term development. VIG’s solid results confirm the Group’s financial strength and its ability to invest in the modernisation of insurance services, strengthening customer trust and increasing the resilience of local markets.
