<abstract displayLabel="Summary">AM Best believes that the French life insurers are well positioned to navigate the persistently challenging environment. They have demonstrated discipline in recent years, strengthening their balance sheets and shifting their business mix to reduce the average guarantees in their savings books. These actions should contribute to the industry maintaining profitable results, despite the persistently low interest rate environment</abstract>
