Domestic insurers in the limelight

Chinese insurance companies stood out in domestic stock markets this week, with experts optimistic that the sector's high potential and the improving liquidity environment will continue to support growth.

"Major Chinese insurance companies with pleasing business performance are popular in the capital markets, and I believe the trend will continue as China's insurance market has huge potential," said Dong Dengxin, a finance professor at Wuhan University of Science and Technology.

Dong said Chinese insurers should seize the opportunity to develop commercial health and endowment insurance in the domestic market.
