S&P Global Ratings has revised the outlook of Vienna Insurance Group (VIG) and its core subsidiary VIG RE to positive from stable, while affirming its A+ insurer financial strength and issuer credit ratings.<\/p>\n

\"ViennaThe rating agency noted that VIG has made significant progress in diversifying its business and expanding its scale and earnings in recent years, driven by strong performance in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).<\/p>\n

According to S&P, this growth has broadened VIG’s earnings base and enhanced resilience by reducing reliance on its traditional core markets, Austria and the Czech Republic. The agency believes this positions the group for continued, sustainable expansion across the CEE region.<\/p>\n

In addition, VIG\u2019s planned acquisition of a majority stake in Germany-domiciled NUERNBERGER insurance group offers further diversification potential.<\/p>\n

NUERNBERGER represents a strategic expansion of VIG’s footprint in the German insurance market. S&P expects the transaction to enhance VIG’s scale and earnings resilience, significantly increase its market share in Germany, and deepen its product offering, as NUERNBERGER’s life biometric expertise may develop into a competence centre for the entire group.<\/p>\n

Overall, S&P noted that the positive outlook reflects improving earnings and broader geographic diversification. VIG\u2019s expanding footprint across CEE is making its earnings base more balanced and resilient.<\/p>\n

Hartwig L\u00f6ger, CEO of VIG, said, \u201cWe are very pleased that our strategic development has been rated so positively and are confident that we can continue to drive forward our long-term growth strategy in CEE with the planned diversification through the German market. And not only regionally, but also across our product portfolio: As a leading provider of biometric solutions, N\u00dcRNBERGER brings a high level of complementary expertise to the table, which can also be beneficial in the core CEE market following the acquisition.\u201d<\/p>\n
