“The future of Korea’s insurance industry, which has reached a saturation point, depends on readiness to dominate the promising overseas market in advance,” the firm’s official said.
The company hopes to create a revenue breakthrough through the investment into the Indonesian unit, he added.
According to industry data, Indonesia’s life insurance market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10 percent by 2020.
Hanwha Life also said it will buy Indonesia’s long-term government bonds which is expected to yield over 7 percent in a bid to increase its bond portfolio’s return.
