There is a stable business development on VIG’s largest markets – Austria and Czech Republic. Slovakia is performing well (+6.6 % growth of premiums). Positive development is continuing also in Poland. On the other hand – Romania is still loss making with -20% y/y decline in premiums and also additional write-downs have contributed to a loss of 36.1 mln. EUR in in the first three quarters of 2013.

We do not expect any major reaction on released results as the company posted profit-warning NOV-12.
