AIA sees new business value jump 37% YoY in the first semester

This was mainly driven by the economic reopening in China and Hong Kong.

Insurer AIA reported its value of new business (VONB) climbed 37% year-on-year (YoY) to $2.03b in the first half of the year, mainly driven by China and Hong Kong’s economic reopening.

To compare, last year saw its VONB reach $1.54b.

“With the pandemic disruption behind us, the strength of AIA’s unrivalled distribution platform across Asia has powered a return to very strong new business momentum, including double-digit VONB growth from AIA China, our combined ASEAN business and Tata AIA Life, our joint venture in India. AIA Hong Kong more than doubled VONB compared to the first half of 2022, driven by substantial business from Mainland Chinese visitors (MCV).” said Lee Yuan Siong, AIA’s Group Chief Executive and President.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
