To date, the committee has met six insurance companies and AIG is the only one to make a loss. Why? AIG broke even in 2017 yet it showed a loss of €30 million on a turnover of €280 million in premiums in 2018. Have there been major write-offs? Was the loss of €30 million made after exceptional provisions were made? A loss by AIG is out of kilter with what happened in the rest of the insurance industry.
Why is that?
