MAPFRE expects to continue its profitable growth trajectory, with a focus on technical improvements and a client-centric approach. The company is also exploring opportunities in Spain, particularly in bancassurance agreements, and in the euro area. While the current guidance was adopted in coherence with the Strategic Plan, the company will consider updating it if necessary.
