NBV 2017: New methodology

  • As announced in 1Q, from 2017 onwards, new business premiums and the value of Generali Group are assessed under the Contract Boundaries rules, consistent with the Solvency II framework
  • The Group believes the New Business Margin is more appropriately presented as a proportion of PVNBP (present value of the expected future new business premiums) than APE in this framework
  • Generali will continue to publish both figures, but will focus on the PVNBP measure going forward

  • The APE vision at single Country level has been migrated into the Supplementary Financial Information

  • NBV figures (including comparative) shown accommodating for contract boundaries, consistent with Solvency II Framework
