Vivin stated, that throughout 2023 Generali Indonesia has paid claims worth more than IDR 1.1 trillion which includes death claims, critical illness, and health.
“Of this total nominal, 77% is health claims and this health claim nominal itself has increased by 38% yoy compared to the same period in the previous year,” she said.
Vivin believes the prospects for insurance in 2024 will be even better driven by industry growth, literacy and public awareness, innovation, and digitalization developments that contribute to making it easier for the public to get protection.
According to her, the current challenge is the increasingly high health inflation which has even exceeded economic inflation, causing a high number of claims and a hardening market condition.
