Prudential's profits up 109% to $1.5b in H1

Operating profits for longer-term investment grew to $213.9m.

Prudential records 109% YoY profit growth at $1.5b for the first half of the year. Its new-business premiums also reached $2.4b (€1.5b), an increase by 22% YoY.

Single-premium sales in Singapore climbed up by 66% to $518.7m (€323m), whilst regular premiums rose by 16% to $261.7m (€163m).

Prudential's life business was lifted by its higher operating profit that went up 5% to $3.9b (€2.4b).

New business profit from Asia went up 18% to $1.8b (€1.1b), thanks to growth from eight countries cause by improvements in the agency and bank insurance channels and its leaning towards health and protection.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
