Aviva UK and Ireland general insurance operating profits increased 40% to £230m in the first half of 2023 (2022 H1: £163m).

The bulk of Aviva general insurance profit growth in the UK alone was driven by investment returns, almost tripling to £135m, compared with £46m in the first half of last year.
