The company’s profit increased by 13.5 percent compared to the same period last year with operating and net profits increasing by 40.7 percent and 27.7 percent, respectively.

The insurer has continued to show a positive trend in sales since hitting a record net profit last year.

A company spokesperson said the high profits were due to fact that the amount of guaranteed insurance products such as first monthly premium insurance increased by 30 percent compared to last year.
