Best's Market Segment Report: Taiwan's Non-Life Insurance Premiums Continue to Increase Amid Underwriting Improvements
HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Taiwan's domestic non-life insurance premium continued to increase in 2024, growing 10.5% to reach TWD 278.5 billion (USD 9.2 billion), according to a new AM Best report. The Best's Market Segment Report, 'Taiwan Non-Life Segment's Operating Performance Supported by Tighter Underwriting Guidelines,' also notes that this segment's overall capital & surplus level has continued to improve and crossed the TWD 150 billion mark last year. The driving force of Taiwan's non-life segment remains motor insurance, particularly voluntary motor, which contributed close to half of the segment's direct written premiums in 2024, despite the slightly slower overall premium growth last year, partly due to subdued growth in new car sales during 2024 and through the first quarter of 2025. In order to bolster electric vehicle (EV) coverage, Taiwan's insurance regulator implemented standardised EV motor policy terms in the second half of 2024. 'However, the motor segment remains cautious over expanding in this product line while insurers continue to accumulate data and claims experience to aid pricing sophistication,' said James Chan, director, AM Best. The combined gross written premiums of AM Best's eight rated non-life insurers rose 10.6% to TWD 192.8 billion in 2024, similar to the market's growth of 10.5% reported by all 14 domestic non-life insurers. All rated entities achieved premium gains in 2024, driven by expansions in voluntary motor, travel insurance and commercial lines. According to the report, Taiwan's non-life insurance segment achieved significant improvement in operating profitability for 2023 and 2024. Notably, following a year of historically poor performance in 2022, the market achieved a profit turnaround in 2023, due to the release of pandemic insurance-related reserves and the efforts of non-life insurers to bolster underwriting guidelines. 'Company strategies have included non-renewing unprofitable policies, increasing rates, raising policy deductibles, or applying higher co-insurance percentages,' Chan said. 'These measures are aimed at passing on part of the rising reinsurance costs and potential future losses to policyholders. Insurers also have adopted a more proactive approach in offering risk advisory services and implementing loss prevention measures.' To access the full copy of this report, please visit

I delayed retiring for years. My husband's heart attack taught me we could not take time for granted.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Kim Hunter-Borst, 57, a healthcare professional based in New York City. It has been edited for length and clarity. My husband and I got married when we were a bit older. I was 42 and he was 49, and he had two children already. I saw my role in our family as the person who brought in all the fun. We just lived life thinking there was always a paycheck coming around the corner. I work in healthcare and always thought my job was recession-proof. But when I had to lay off people in 2016, I realized that we had no financial cushion if my husband and I were to lose our jobs. We were both earning well, but somehow, we were living paycheck to paycheck, something that feels so normal in American culture. I was embarrassed to say we messed up After the layoffs, I audited our finances and saw that we were $69,000 in debt. Our oldest kid was ready to go to college, and losing our jobs would mean tapping into our savings to pay for it. I had about $219,000 in savings because someone early in my career advised me to put 3% in my 401(k). My husband, who had been divorced and raising kids on his own, had $17,000 in savings. I didn't want to live with that anxiety and wanted to be debt-free and credit-card-free. We were in our forties and in good careers. It felt embarrassing to admit to others that we had messed up and were in debt. I'm not ashamed of it now, but we used to make excuses about missing vacations with friends instead of simply saying that the trip wasn't in our budget. We started eliminating things like unnecessary cable TV, switched to a cheaper cellphone carrier, and stopped going to Target unnecessarily. We paid off our debt in about two years by 2018, and began looking for what we'd do with our money moving forward. I found the financial independence community one day while I was online and learned about different types of investing. We realized that what worked best for us was to keep investing in our 401(k)s and pensions. Every time we got a raise, we'd ask if there was anything we were unsatisfied with that the money could help pay for. The answer was always no, and we always just invested the extra amount. I was delaying retirement By 2021, we felt like we had enough to retire. But I was delaying quitting my job one year at a time, because it was hard to imagine a paycheck not coming in. I was also trapped in golden handcuffs: I got promoted or got a raise every time I decided to walk away. I knew my family would look at me like I was crazy if I told them I was leaving $200,000 a year behind. I also attached my work to my identity. Around this time, my husband told me that I had my job and a bunch of other commitments in front of me and that he felt like my fourth priority. In 2023, he had a serious heart attack. When I was waiting in the hospital, his words stayed with me, and I realized that this isn't what I want him to believe if he's not coming back to me. Quitting wasn't easy If my husband had died, I would've missed the opportunity to really be with him without work, without all that other stuff going on. When he made it through, I told him we're retiring. Still, it took me a whole year to tell my company. I ran my numbers and every worst-case scenario with a friend, and I spent some time thinking about who I was outside my job. Once I settled on the idea that I was a mom and wife before I was a strategist, things fell into place. Since March, I've been loud and excited about my retirement, which starts at the end of this month, close to my 58th birthday. Now that I'll have more time, I've started my own financial planning retreats for women. I'm planning more neighborhood events, and we have a lot of travel booked. I want to be able to not set an alarm and do what I want to do, at least for a little while.

Inside Trump's extraordinary turnaround on immigration raids
She wasn't the first person to try to get this message through to the president, nor was it the first time she had spoken to him about it. But the president was persuaded. Advertisement The next morning, he posted a message on his social media platform, Truth Social, that took an uncharacteristically softer tone toward the very immigrants he has spent much of his political career demonizing. Immigrants in the farming and hospitality industries are 'very good, long time workers,' he said. 'Changes are coming.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Some influential Trump donors who learned about the post began reaching out to people in the White House, urging Trump to include the restaurant sector in any directive to spare workers living in the country illegally from enforcement. Inside the West Wing, top White House officials were caught off guard — and furious at Rollins. Many of Trump's top aides, particularly Stephen Miller, his deputy chief of staff, have urged a hard-line approach, targeting all immigrants without legal status to fulfill the president's promise of the biggest deportation campaign in American history. Advertisement But the decision had been made. Later on Thursday, a senior official with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Tatum King, sent an email to regional leaders at the agency informing them of new guidance. Agents were to 'hold on all worksite enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels.' It remains to be seen how effective the order will be and whether Trump will stick with his decision. Raids at other worksites, like the one in Los Angeles's garment industry that led to mass protests, are still allowed. On Friday, the day after Trump issued the new guidance, farmworkers were being rounded up in the fields of Oxnard, 50 miles north of Los Angeles, according to advocates. But the president's decision to shield farmers and the hospitality industry — a business he knows well from his years as an owner of luxury hotels — reveals the tension between his deportation efforts and concerns about maintaining crucial support in his political coalition. This account of Trump's retreat is based on interviews with 11 people, most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private discussions. 'President Trump has always stood up for our farmers, who were a major part of his November victory, by working to negotiate fairer trade deals and cut red tape,' Anna Kelly, a White House spokesperson, said in a statement. 'He will continue to strengthen our agricultural industry and boost exports while keeping his promise to enforce our immigration laws and remove the millions of unvetted illegals who flooded into the United States under Joe Biden.' Advertisement The scope of Trump's immigration crackdown has unsettled some Republicans as the raids on farms began disrupting operations. More than 40 percent of the nation's crop workers have no legal immigration status, the Agriculture Department has estimated. On Tuesday, federal agents started fanning out across California's vast agricultural area, from along the coast to the Central Valley. The raids spread chaos in Oxnard, which grows much of the nation's strawberries, as well as in Kern and Tulare counties, where vegetables, grapes and delicate fruit, like peaches, are starting to be harvested. Growers reported that 30 percent to 60 percent of workers stopped reporting to the fields in the days after the raids. Agricultural associations in California, Idaho, and elsewhere, whose members are typically Republicans, have been bombarding their Senate and congressional offices to voice concerns. 'We all need to focus on convicted criminal aliens,' Representative Tony Gonzalez, Republican of Texas, said on CNN this past week. 'If we focus there and we're not going after the milker of cows who's, you know, in 103-degree weather, going after that guy and we're going after the convicted criminal, I think we're on the right path.' Representative Glenn Thompson, Republican of Pennsylvania, the chair of the House Agriculture Committee, said ICE raids at farms were 'just wrong.' 'They need to knock it off,' he told reporters this past week. 'Let's go after the criminals and give us time to put processes in place so we don't disrupt the food supply chain.' During an agriculture committee hearing Wednesday, he pressed Rollins about what the administration was doing to ensure ICE raids were not 'impacting food security.' Advertisement Rollins said she had spoken about the issue to Trump on Tuesday in the Oval Office and Wednesday morning. 'This president's commitment to ensuring that all laws are followed remains paramount,' Rollins said. But she added that Trump understood 'the significant challenges' in finding the necessary farm labor. Trump has often made policy exceptions for farmers, a key base of support. In his first term, he provided farmers with billions of dollars in aid amid a trade war with China. He deemed agricultural laborers to be essential workers during the coronavirus pandemic. He even allowed their employers to provide them with letters to show law enforcement so they would not be deported. In his second term, Trump has weighed a new round of emergency relief to farmers this year because of Trump's tariffs. 'It's entirely predictable that Trump would backpedal on enforcement in the sectors he cares about — hospitality, where his own businesses operate, and agriculture, where his voters are over represented,' said Wayne Cornelius, a professor emeritus at the University of California, San Diego, who researched immigrant labor.
