CEO Bart De Smet said:
"Our insurance activities have started well in 2012, with improved inflows and
profits in nearly all segments of our activities, especially in Asia where we,
for the first time, passed the EUR 2 billion per quarter inflow level. The main
exception to this generally improved picture is the result of Fire in Belgium,
which was impacted by a severe storm in January.
By reaching an agreement with BNP Paribas on the RPN(I) and the Tier 1
Instrument, we made additional progress in solving the outstanding legacies. We
also announced initiatives to further simplify our legal structure. We received
a number of court decisions related to various legal procedures and will appeal
those we disagree with.
While giving the required attention to the legacy issues, we remain focused on
our operational priorities so that we will continue to strengthen Ageas'
position as a solid international insurance company. The operational results of
the first quarter show that we are indeed on the right path. We expect inflows
levels for 2012 to outperform 2011."
