Best's Market Segment Report: A Two-Way Street for Reinsurance Diversification in Asia
HONG KONG, August 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Asia's reinsurers are actively expanding to mature overseas markets as part of a move to diversity and be more agile with underwriting cycle management, according to a new report from AM Best. The Best's Market Segment Report, "Asia in Focus: A Two-Way Street for Reinsurance Diversification," is part of AM Best's overall look at the global reinsurance industry ahead of the Rendez-Vous de Septembre in Monte Carlo. Other reinsurance-related reports, including AM Best's ranking of top global reinsurance groups and in-depth looks at the insurance-linked securities, Lloyd's, life/annuity, health and regional reinsurance markets, will be available during August and September. AM Best views the move to diversity as credit positive. The report also notes that the majority of reinsurers within AM Best's Asia Reinsurance Composite posted higher levels of net income in 2024, with China's reinsurers experiencing the most notable gains. Over the past decade, the major European reinsurers have identified the Asia-Pacific region as a key source for diversification and growth. "Asia-Pacific reinsurers are following a similar strategy, significantly expanding abroad," said Christie Lee, senior director, AM Best. "With economic momentum slowing in China, and mature markets like Japan and South Korea facing demographic and economic headwinds, North Asian major reinsurers have increasingly turned to international markets to sustain growth and diversify risk." Among some of the report's other highlights: The composite's weighted average return on equity ratio improved to 11.3% for 2024, supported by stronger underwriting results and higher investment income, thus extending the improving trend from 2023. Reinsurers based in Singapore and throughout South/Southeast Asia reported strong earnings for 2024 that were broadly flat year-on-year, but still near historic highs. Reinsurance capacity rebuilds occurred amid pricing adequacy, leading to increased competition and treaty oversubscription. In Japan, April renewal revenue was reduced owing to increased retention and rate reductions; this may further fuel Asia-Pacific 2026 January renewal softening.

China Emissions Fall While Chemicals Emerge as New Hotspot
(Bloomberg) -- A surge of renewable power led to declining emissions in China over the first half of the year even as a growing chemicals sector becomes a major new source of heat-trapping gases, according to new research. Carbon dioxide emissions from the world's largest polluter fell 1% on an annual basis from January through June, according to a report from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. The power sector led the decline, with steel and cement also contributing to the drop. Why New York City Has a Fleet of New EVs From a Dead Carmaker Trump Takes Second Swing at Cutting Housing Assistance for Immigrants Chicago Schools Seeks $1 Billion of Short-Term Debt as Cash Gone A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Record additions of new wind turbines and solar panels meant generation from those two sources alone outpaced the growth in electricity demand, allowing thermal power plants to burn less coal and reduce emissions for the sector by about 3%, CREA lead analyst Lauri Myllyvirta said in the report. The first five months of this year saw a surge in renewable capacity, before a June 1 rule change expected to lower profits at wind and solar farms. Even with installations slowing after that went into effect, the resulting boost in clean energy should be enough to drive down power sector emissions into next year, Myllyvirta said. A prolonged slump in the property sector helped reduce output and emissions from the cement and steel sectors. The drop in steel emissions could have been larger, but mills tend to shut down costlier-but-more-efficient electric arc furnaces before cheaper coal-based production, Myllyvirta said. The overall decline was partly offset by a surge in emissions from the chemicals sector, particularly plants that convert coal into synthetic liquid and gas fuels, as well as building blocks for plastics. Coal use in the sector as a fuel and feedstock rose 20% in the first six months of the year, on top of a 10% increase last year. Coal-based chemical processes are more polluting than ones using traditional petroleum-based feedstocks. The sector emitted 690 million tons of CO2 last year, about 410 million to 440 million tons more than would have been released at traditional chemical plants, according to the report. On the Wire China's flows of rare-earth magnets to the US continued to recover in July — with volumes rising 76% month-on-month — after Beijing agreed to normalize exports as part of its trade truce with Washington. India and China have agreed to explore demarcating their disputed border, a key move toward resolving decades-old territorial disputes as the neighbors look to recalibrate ties against the backdrop of strained India-US relations. China said that it will show off new weapons at a military parade next month, potentially giving rivals like the US a first chance to see what hardware the Asian nation is ready to field.
