Sub CEO Evan Greenberg hailed a “strong quarter” for the insurer.
“Our quarterly results included record net investment income, double-digit premium growth and excellent underwriting performance with an 88% combined ratio, although our annual agricultural results reflect a below-average crop year,” Greenberg said.
According to the CEO, pricing conditions for P&C “remain favorable,” and the insurer expects published growth to improve in the future as the dollar weakens.
“In P&C, North America grew 9.7%, and foreign general grew in constant dollars, while declining 1.3% on a published basis, impacted by the strongest US dollar in 20 years,” Greenberg said.
According to Greenberg, the insurer is off to a “strong start” in 2023.
“There’s a lot of risk and uncertainty in the global operating environment — economic and geopolitical, so from what we know and can control, ’23 should be a good year in terms of growth and revenue,” he said.
