Vienna Insurance Group AG Wiener .../  AT0000908504  /

The Vienna Insurance Group is an international insurance group headquartered in the Austrian capital. Following the opening up of Eastern Europe in 1989, the insurance group has developed from a "first mover" to a market leader in Central and Eastern Europe. VIG is synonymous with stability and expertise in providing financial protection against risks. The roots of the insurance group go back to the year 1824. Experience and focus on the core competence of providing insurance form a solid and secure basis for the more than 22 million customers. Besides Austria, VIG places a clear emphasis on Central and Eastern Europe as its home market. The Group generates more than half of its premium income in CEE. VIG’s operations are also focused on this region. This primarily reflects the forecasts for economic growth in CEE, which is predicted to be twice as high as in Western Europe, as well as the current level of insurance density, which is still well below the EU average.
