SINGAPORE'S general insurance market posted an underwriting loss of S$28 million last year, versus an underwriting profit of S$36.3 million in 2018.
The loss was largely due to a 12.2 per cent or S$159 million increase in total insurance claims paid out last year, the General Insurance Association of Singapore (GIA) said in results released on Tuesday.
