Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • GIC expects continued growth momentum with a focus on improving overall performance and reducing combined ratio.
  • Domestic market growth projected at 15%-20% year-on-year, driven by under-penetration (currently ~1% non-life insurance penetration).
  • International business has grown 16%, with plans to improve international to domestic business mix closer to 50:50 over time.
  • Credit rating upgrade expected soon (within 15 days from November 10, 2023) will open access to high-quality international business, accelerating overseas growth.
  • GIC aims to write profitable, value-adding business rather than merely increasing turnover.
  • Pricing hardening expected to persist in property (due to prior losses), with risk-adjusted rate changes continuing where losses were significant.
  • GIC’s healthy capital adequacy (solvency at 2.82 vs. 1.5 mandatory) positions it well to capitalize on growth opportunities domestically and internationally.
