For non-life insurance, revenue went up by 9.8% to $773m (VND19.55t), showing steady growth for the quarter.

The country’s continuous decline in premium revenue growth since 2023 is attributed to an insurance crisis involving numerous scandals that have brought consumer trust to an all-time low.

Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance’s Insurance Supervisory Authority (ISA) has proposed solutions to enhance market transparency and safeguard participants’ rights in the insurance industry.
