Our strategy in Asia has been to grow our business in the markets where we are present, and Malaysia is certainly one of them. Our positive outlook is driven by the fact that the country is home to a large and growing middle-class population. In addition, government initiatives are underway to align Malaysia’s regulatory regime with those of the most advanced economies in the world, to introduce more equity to insurance pricing, evolve the country’s digital economy and expand insurance coverage to other sectors of the population.
