Great Eastern profit attributable to shareholders grew 21% in Q3

It increased to $180.2m.

Insurance firm, Great Eastern, posted a growth of 21% in profit attributable to shareholders to $180.2m in the third quarter (Q3) of 2023.

In a financial statement, Great Eastern also documented total weighted new sales of $419.4m, growing 5% from $398.8m in Q3 2023.

The insurance business said their underlying business is healthy but muted by higher medical claims in Singapore and Malaysia.

The capital adequacy ratios of the group's subsidiaries, meanwhile, were strong and above minimum regulatory levels.

Great Eastern CEO Khor Hock Seng said their group continues to deliver sustainable value by engaging in partnerships and acquisitions in Malaysia and Singapore.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
