Irish insurer FBD has reaffirmed its guidance for the full year after a period of "sustained growth" with gross written premiums increasing by around 5% compared to the same period in 2025. 

The company also welcomed a "solid" underwriting performance, with claims remaining in line with expectations and not significantly impacted by the weather conditions experienced earlier in the year.
