Dennis Tan, President, LIA Singapore: “Global headwinds, slowing economic growth coupled with geopolitical tensions, rising interest rates and elevated inflationary pressures had impacted overall demand for life insurance products especially in earlier 2023. Despite these challenges, as the year progresses, the life insurance industry continues to recover and demonstrate resilience as we help more individuals get more adequately protected.
Cost of living is a key concern amongst many in Singapore, and the life insurance industry is committed to finding ways to support members of the community address their protection and financial needs. We will do this through innovations in product design and more effective business processes, amongst others. We will also continue to take a long-term view and pursue initiatives to ensure the wellbeing of Singapore’s population and to support the nation’s net-zero transition goals. Just as we seek to protect the life and health of people, we are equally serious about protecting the earth and our collective future.”
