Premiums from direct insurance and accepted reinsurance reached 6.1 billion euros, with a decrease of 4.7 percent, due in part to the effects on new business of the confinement of the population from COVID-19, and to the strong depreciation of the main currencies in LATAM countries and in Turkey.

Non-Life insurance premiums went down 2 percent, although at constant exchange rates they would have grown 0.6 percent.

Life premiums fell 14.3 percent (-9.1 percent at constant exchange rates), with a slight decline in Life Protection, primarily from the currency effect in Brazil in the first quarter, and a sharper fall in Life Savings, primarily from lower issuing in Spain and Malta, in a complicated economic environment for the sale of these products.
