2025 Q4 Solvency “Health Check” Results Released: 5 Insurers Fail to Meet Standards

The 2025 Q4 solvency report shows that among 57 life insurance companies and 77 property insurance companies, the vast majority meet solvency requirements, but Qianhai Property & Casualty, Asia-Pacific Property & Casualty, Anhui Agricultural Insurance, Huahui Life, and Changsheng Life failed to meet standards: the first four due to risk comprehensive ratings of C, and Changsheng Life due to a comprehensive solvency adequacy ratio of only 79.7% (below the 100% red line). Main reasons include governance deficiencies, operational pressures, key personnel changes, and reserve increases caused by declining interest rates. The industry faces a severe test of crossing the “life line” of solvency.

2025 144 Non-listed Insurers Nearly 90% Achieve Profitability

Key drivers include the deepening of the “report and operate as one” policy, accelerated transformation of dividend-paying insurance, a rebound in investment returns driven by a warming capital market, and rising demand for stable insurance products amid lower interest rates.
