2020 was another successful year for European Reliance Group of Companies in an operational level and all financial figures presented positive variances.

The Management of the Group presented the significant growth in all 2020 financial figures in a live Press Conference through an on-line platform.

  • 10.6% pre-tax profit increase, at 24.8 mil. euros, versus 22.4 mil. euros in 2019.
  • 5.1% Increase of the Group's total income at 236.8 mil. euros.
  • 5.1% increase of gross written premiums and related income at 223.3 mil. euros, versus 212.4 mil. euros in 2019, with the Life Insurance Sector presenting the highest increase (13.5%). It is worth noting that also the other three insurance sectors kept similar growth course in 2020.
  • 5.6% Total Assets increase at 511.9 mil. euros versus 484.6 mil. eurosin 2019.
  • 8.7% Total Equity increase at 153.6 mil. eurosversus 141.2 mil. euros as of 31/12/2019.
