Groupama had a satisfactory 2017 in terms of both development and profitability. As the company continues its internal work to remutualise its governing body, which is planned for the end of the first half of 2018, Groupama has continuously shown its capacity to develop and support innovative and transformational projects that serve all its members and customers, particularly alongside farmers.

The Group saw profitable growth momentum in its property and casualty insurance as well as in its life and health insurance, and recorded a major increase in its operating income as well as its solvency. It is therefore with a solid foundation that Groupama SA will soon become Groupama Assurances Mutuelles, the Group's new national mutual.
