The Thai General Insurance Association had projected a direct premium written growth of 5.0 percent in 2019. Nonetheless, under such challenging circumstances, Bangkok Insurance Public Company Limited has been able to attain a remarkable growth. For the Company’s performance in 2019, its total written premium rose by 21.3 percent to Baht 21,008.9 million, compared to the year before. The Company’s earnings before tax were Baht 2,786.0 million, comprising the net income from underwriting of Baht 1,161.4 million, as well as earnings from investment and other income of Baht 1,624.6 million, resulting in a net income of Baht 2,451.3 million, or earnings per share of Baht 23.02.
