"Due to the usual uncertainty concerning developments in major losses and the capital markets during the rest of the year, the target for the 2019 consolidated result remains unchanged at EUR2.5 billion," the German reinsurance company said.

Munich Re is scheduled to report final second-quarter results on August 7.
