• ABIC owns well dispersed risk business model according to the large sample rule, making its remarkable profitability. The company records impressive low compensation fee rate (around 22% of net premium). That in line with well advantage from parent company-Agribank helps it rapidly expand market, maintaining steady premium growth as well as sector-lowest combined ratio. As the results, ROE of ABIC is at sector-highest level, two-folded ROE of peers.
• There is still potential room for the Company to improve its margin, underpinned by recovered interest rate base expectation and from diversified investment portfolio.
