MILAN, Italy (Reuters) – Gross premiums at Italy's biggest insurer Generali rose by 3.2 percent from a year earlier helped by a strong performance in Germany and Eastern Europe.

In a statement on Friday, Europe's third-biggest insurer said premiums had risen to 69.6 billion euros ($92.03 billion) in the year.

Premiums in both the life and non-life segments increased by around 3 percent, with premiums in Germany and the Eastern European countries growing twice as fast.
