We are putting customers at the heart of everything we do and I am confident we will transform Aviva’s financial performance and deliver greater value for our shareholders.

Our colleagues have been truly fantastic, responding quickly and ensuring that we provided excellent customer service throughout the year. I’m pleased with how much progress we have made in the short period of time since I became CEO, but it is not lost on me that there is much more to do. Aviva has significant untapped potential, and I am determined to realise it. Our performance in 2020 has been very resilient with operating profit1,‡# from Core markets just 3% lower at £2,492 million (2019: £2,558 million) despite the direct and indirect impact of COVID-19. Cash remittances from Core were £1,359 million (2019: £1,409m excluding UK Life special remittance). Trading in many of our key markets has been strong, with record years for both our Savings & Retirement business and in bulk purchase annuities. We’re also making good progress in reducing our expenses though more needs to be done to reach top quartile efficiency that we strive for across all of our Core markets.

Above and beyond the immediate benefit for Google Cloud customers, the cooperation will contribute to the further enhancement of Munich Re’s cyber risk modelling.” Stefan Golling, Member of the Board of Management The coverage of cyber risks is a strategic field of business in which Munich Re aims to achieve further sustainable growth. As one of the pioneers, Munich Re was early to accept the challenges in cyber insurance. As cyber risks and loss scenarios change quickly and continuously, Munich Re maintains its position among the top providers by steadily developing its own approach and risk modelling, and also by collaborating with clients and partners. Munich Re has now agreed on a cooperation with Google Cloud and Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) focusing on providing cloud specific cover for organisations.

  • These Comments Are Submitted by Allianz of America,1 Munich
    a ALLIANZ OF AMERICA CORPORATION MUNICH REINSURANCE AMERICA CORPORATION SWISS RE AMERICA HOLDING CORPORATION These comments are submitted by Allianz of America,1 Munich Reinsurance America,2 and Swiss Re America.3 For the past three years, the Administration’s Budget has included a proposal to deny the deduction for property-casualty reinsurance premiums placed with a foreign affiliate by a U.S. insurer.4 The Administration proposal was introduced in the 112th Congress by Rep. Richard Neal (H.R. 3157) and by Sen. Robert Menendez (S. 1693). These comments demonstrate that the Administration proposal would disrupt essential risk distribution practices followed by domestic and foreign insurers, alike; increase premiums and reduce coverage available to U.S. consumers, particularly in catastrophe prone areas along the coastlines; and violate U.S tax treaty obligations and commitments to the World Trade Organization. In addition, the Administration errs in characterizing routine affiliate transactions with treaty partners with significant corporate tax regimes as erosion of the U.S. tax base. BACKGROUND Under current law, a U.S. insurer may deduct the premium for reinsurance placed with another company, whether affiliated, unaffiliated, domestic or foreign. A current deduction for this crucial expense ensures that there is a proper matching of income and expense. The U.S. insurer will include in income any ceding commission received from the reinsurer, and, when it 1 Allianz S.E., a German company, owns Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company, Allianz Global Corporate and Specialty Insurance, Euler Hermes-USA, and Allianz Global Assistance –USA.
