Analysis and synthesis (Analyses et synthèses) no. 52: Position of the main French insurers in 2014

As regards life insurers, overall net inflows almost doubled in 2014 (+80% to 9.2 billion euros) but more than tripled for unit-linked contracts. Unrealised capital gains on investments nearly doubled, mainly reflecting the decline in interest rates in 2014. Consequently, the solvency ratio under Solvency I showed a strong increase, hitting 464% (+162 percentage points (pts)), and economic wealth1 has improved considerably.
