ROME--Italian insurance giant Assicurazioni Generali SpA's (G.MI) net profit declined by 6% in the first nine months of the year, hit mainly by lower income at its property and casualty business while low interest rates and market volatility continue to take their toll.

Trieste-based Generali, Europe's No. 3 insurer, said Thursday that net profit dropped to 1.6 billion euros ($1.75 billion) in the first nine months, from EUR1.7 billion in the year-earlier period.

Operating income for the nine months dropped by 6% to EUR3.6 billion.
