According to the Insurance Association of Vietnam, PVI Insurance accounted for 15.4 per cent of the market share in the first 6 months of 2021, No.1 position in the non-life insurance market, surpassing Bao Viet in second place with 15.3 per cent.

Extremely complicated developments of Covid-19 pandemic have caused serious impacts on all aspects of social life.

PVI Insurance's pre-tax profit reached VND 415 billion, equivalent to 64.2 per cent of the annual plan, an increase by 8.3 per cent compared to that in the same period in 2020.

Despite the second half of 2021 is even tougher than the first half period, PVI Insurance still targets to reach the 12-month revenue of VND10,000 billion. This is a very ambitious goal, especially maintaining the leading position in terms of efficiency which it has achieved over the years is also a parallelly unchangeable target. By continuing to pursue the appropriate and reasonable business strategy, which is “priority to business efficiency and developing effectively”, and maintaining the flexibility in business policies to respond to market fluctuations, PVI Insurance is confident that it is on the right track and hopes to achieve its goals.
