Life and health insurance premium income (57.3% of premium income in France) increased +8.0% to €4.548 billion. Group premium income for life and capitalisation in France rose +7.9% in a market up +4% at the end of December 2018(source: FFA). This change is mainly attributable to the increase in individual UL savings/pensions(+11.3%), with premium income of the segment in euros increasing by +1.0%. After taking into account arbitrage operations (euros for unit-linked for -€237 million) on Fourgous transfers (€269 million) and unit-linked net inflows (€502 million), the rate of actuarial reserves in individual UL savings is now 25.3% (compared with 25.8% at 31 December 2017). The good performance posted by the group retirement segment (+64.3%) should also be noted. Premium income in health and bodily injury at 31 December2018 was up +8.1% comparedwith the previous period. This change is due in particular to the increase in health insurance (+9.0%), which breaks down into an increase of +0.5% in individual health and an increase of +14.2% in group health. The municipal staff insurance segment grew+13.9%. The Group’s net inflows were negative at -€891 million at 31 December 2018 compared with -€1,200 million over the previous period.
