Swiss Re has secured a 7% rise in premiums and a 10% hike in premium volumes during the July policy renewal round.
The reinsurer said the round covered predominantly its US business.
Chief financial officer Anne Godbehere said in a conference call that despite the steep rise, there is still "potential" for further increases at next January's renewals round.
She added that the company expects to maintain the strong level of pricing in other areas for the rest of the year.
The combined ratio for the property & casualty business is still seen coming in below 95% in the full year, underlined by the segment's strong performance during the first half of the year.
Swiss Re also expects to achieve more than the previously targeted $300m of savings by the end of 2007 from the recently completed takeover of General Electric's GEIS insurance solutions unit, as benefits from the acquistion come through, Godbehere said.
