China begins taxing offshore insurance policies, AIA shares plunge 9%, Hang Seng drops 1.7%

Chinese authorities in some cities have started levying taxes on insurance policies purchased overseas by mainland Chinese residents, triggering a sharp sell-off in insurance and banking stocks in the Hong Kong market. The Hang Seng Index fell 1.7% in morning trading. AIA Group shares tumbled as much as 9.2%, their biggest drop since April 2025, while Prudential declined up to 6.5%. HSBC and Standard Chartered both fell more than 2%. Reports indicate that since 2025, some policyholders in Beijing who declared dividend income from participating policies bought in Hong Kong have been taxed 20% on the actual gains. Goldman Sachs analysts said that if such measures are expanded, new policy sales to mainland Chinese customers could decline significantly.

AIA Singapore adds cross-border medical access and digital care for over one million employees at no extra premium

AIA Singapore announced corporate policy enhancements that will expand cross-border medical access and digitalised care for more than one million insured employees, representing about one-third of Singapore's workforce, at no additional premium starting August 1, 2026. The first-of-their-kind enhancements include industry-first inpatient coverage at selected hospitals in Malaysia with a Letter of Guarantee Plus, an expanded dental network to clinics in major Malaysian retail malls, and a waiver of GP referral requirements for specialist outpatient clinics at Singapore public hospitals. Employees will also gain a fully digitalised pre-authorisation process through the AIA+ app and web portal, along with round-the-clock GP teleconsultation via WhiteCoat. The move comes as 34 percent of Singapore residents worry about healthcare affordability and medical inflation is projected to hit a record 16.9 percent, according to the AIA Live Better Study and industry data.
