AIA Group has reported a 14% increase in the value of its new business to $2.8bn in its first half results.

The insurer said this was driven by strong demand in its key markets of China and Hong Kong.

AIA, reporting its figures for the six months to 30 June, revealed it had achieved an operating profit after tax of $3.6bn, a level up 12% per share.

The insurer’s annualised operating return on embedded value (ROEV) reached 17.8% for the six-month period, a level up 290 basis points from the 14.9% that AIA achieved in its full year figures for 2024.

AIA’s group chief executive and president, Lee Yuan Siong, said: “AIA has delivered an excellent operating and financial performance in the first half of 2025, demonstrating that we have the right strategic priorities to leverage the unparalleled opportunities for life and health insurance in Asia.

“Asia is the most attractive region in the world for life and health insurance. The strong fundamental growth drivers of rising wealth, low insurance penetration levels and limited social welfare coverage continue to power the long-term exceptional prospects for AIA’s business.

“I am confident that AIA’s geographical diversification and focus on the disciplined execution of our strategic priorities will continue to deliver long-term sustainable value for all our stakeholders.”
