DEVK Group

2019 was a very successful year for DEVK Versicherungen. Gross premium receipts for the group
as a whole rose by 5 percent to € 3.62 billion. New business premiums of € 867 million (+ 7.3 percent) reflected a record sales result. The premium growth of 3.1 percent in the German primary insurance business was weaker, although this remained satisfactory.
