🚗💼 Cambodian Insurers are Increasing their Auto Risk Retention!

In 2023, the auto insurance retention ratio climbed to 64.9% from 62.9% in 2019, reflecting a strategic move to manage costs and enhance profitability amidst growing vehicle ownership and improved road safety measures. Other insurance types have retention rates below 50% and rely more on reinsurance. Auto insurance premiums rose from USD 18.9 million in 2019 to USD 24 million in 2023, highlighting the sector's robust expansion driven by economic growth, increased risk management awareness, and regulatory reforms.

Mr. Chew Yew Beng, Jeffrey, CEO of Phillip General Insurance, emphasized that as the Cambodian general insurance market matures, insurers are more confident in their underwriting decisions. They are now retaining more premium and accepting higher risks in profitable segments like auto insurance. By leveraging advanced technology for accurate data and risk analysis, insurers can balance profitability and risk effectively, making sound decisions for sustainable growth.

Phillip General Insurance is a member of PhillipCapital Group which is based in Singapore, and has been established since 1975. Other than general insurance for auto, property, personal accident, health, engineering, miscellaneous accident and marine, it has recently launched travel insurance as part of its new product offerings. Phillip General Insurance operates alongside Phillip Bank Plc, the only Singapore-owned bank in Cambodia.
