The company explains that positive stock market performance and rising interest rate risk and credit risk are the main drivers of the SCR increase; the latter two both related to downward movement of the yield curve.

Business related factors also influenced the increase in SCR. The Generali SFCR states: “Furthermore, the increase of the Group SCR is also driven by the business volume growth recorded in Asia and by the acquisitions of Generali Seguros y Reaseguros, S.A. and the Conning companies, only partially offset by the divestments of some companies modelled in Standard Formula.”
