S&P emphasises that despite difficult market conditions and impairments on Russian and Ukrainian bonds in 2022, UNIQA has achieved a strong technical result and operating profit. As a key contributing factor the ratings agency highlights UNIQA's diverse business portfolio of property and casualty insurance, life insurance and health insurance in the domestic market of Austria and in Central and Eastern European (CEE) markets.
Thanks to the Group's high profitability, S&P anticipates that even with potential further impairments on Russian and Ukrainian assets, any material volatilities will be balanced out. S&P concludes that in their opinion, "UNIQA will sustain and expand its strong competitive position in its domestic market and in CEE markets."
