    INSURANCE provider Great Eastern ’s profit for the second half of the year ended Dec 31, 2022 declined 37 per cent to S$281.3 million, from S$443.1 million for H2 2021.

    In a bourse filing on Wednesday (Feb 22), the group attributed this to the “negative impact of financial market movements” which adversely impacted the valuation of insurance contract liabilities.
