The prominent reinsurer Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft AG in München, headquartered in Germany, reported a 12% decrease in its fourth-quarter net profit on Thursday, citing a weaker United States dollar as a significant factor. The company recorded a net profit of 945 million euros ($1.12 billion) for the quarter, compared to 1.068 billion euros in the same period a year earlier. This result was below the 1.030 billion euros anticipated by analysts.
