Since 2015, the provisions of the individual insurance companies have been added together. In previous years, the provisions for all insurance lines were recalculated in total, i.e. instead of the eight insurance providers, a theoretically constructed, large insurance company formed the basis. The risks of the individual insurance companies were thus grouped in a single pool and could be covered with fewer provisions due to the combined insurance volume. For this reason, the provisions were reported lower than they actually were before 2015.
