DEEPSEEK AI MODEL SEEN AS CREDIT NEUTRAL FOR CHINA’S INSURANCE SECTOR - AM BEST

KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 (Bernama) -- The adoption of the artificial intelligence (AI) model DeepSeek among mainland China’s insurance companies could help small to medium-sized insurers enhance their operational efficiency, according to global credit rating agency AM Best.

AM Best's recent commentary indicates that the short-term impact of DeepSeek on China's insurance industry is credit neutral. Several insurers in China have begun integrating DeepSeek into their operations.

In its commentary, “DeepSeek Could Improve Operating Efficiency of Mainland China Insurers, Albeit with Risks”, the credit rating agency highlighted both the potential benefits and risks of AI technology, suggesting that while DeepSeek could improve operational capabilities, its overall impact remains neutral from a credit perspective.

AM Best senior financial analyst, Lucie Huang noted that DeepSeek could help China’s smaller insurers become more competitive and narrow the technology gap with larger players.

She added that the AI model could also support revenue growth, improve data analytics, and enhance customer experience.

“Outcomes will largely depend on insurers’ ability to allocate resources strategically and in proportion to their operational scale and financial capacity,” said Huang in a statement.

However, AM Best also warns that DeepSeek’s use may negatively affect insurers’ enterprise risk management if risks associated with AI models are not properly identified or mitigated.

Insurers failing to establish adequate risk frameworks could face negative implications for their business, particularly in areas such as regulatory risk, execution risk, and model risk.

Additionally, the impact on insurers' operating performance could vary. The commentary further noted that while DeepSeek has the potential to improve operational performance, high investment in systems, talent, and processes without tangible results could dampen performance.

VIETNAM’S PVI INSURANCE RATED EXCEPTIONAL - AM BEST

KUALA LUMPUR, March 21 (Bernama) -- Global credit rating agency, AM Best has affirmed the financial strength rating of A- (Excellent), the long-term issuer credit rating of “a-” (Excellent) and the Vietnam National Scale Rating (NSR) of aaa.VN (Exceptional) of PVI Insurance Corporation (PVI Insurance), with a stable outlook.

In a statement, AM Best said the ratings reflected PVI Insurance’s strong balance sheet, robust operating performance, neutral business profile, and sound enterprise risk management.

The assessment also incorporates rating enhancement from its parent company, HDI Haftpflichtverband der Deutschen Industrie V.a.G. (HDI V.a.G.).

PVI Insurance’s balance sheet strength is supported by its risk-adjusted capitalisation, measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio, which is expected to remain at the strongest level over the medium term. The company also benefits from good financial flexibility due to HDI V.a.G.'s majority ownership.

Despite high dividend payouts and reinsurance dependency, AM Best considers PVI Insurance’s investment portfolio to be of moderate risk, with allocations in cash, term deposits, corporate bonds, private equity, and real estate.

The credit rating agency noted that PVI Insurance maintains strong operating performance, with a five-year average return-on-equity (ROE) ratio of 17.1 per cent (2020-2024). Although underwriting results were impacted by Typhoon Yagi, the company recorded a 14 per cent ROE in 2024, supported by profitable commercial and retail business lines.

As Vietnam’s largest non-life insurer based on 2023 direct premiums, the company continues to expand its market share, particularly in industrial and commercial insurance segments, benefitting from its affiliation with the PetroVietnam (PVN) group. HDI V.a.G.’s support has further strengthened its technical expertise and regional market position.

PVI Insurance’s business expansion in inward reinsurance has contributed to growth, though prudent risk accumulation remains a focus for monitoring.

TOSHIBA BEGINS MASS PRODUCTION OF GATE DRIVER IC FOR AUTOMOTIVE DC MOTORS

KUALA LUMPUR, March 13 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has commenced mass production of the "TB9103FTG", a gate driver integrated circuit (IC) designed for automotive brushed DC motors.

According to a statement, this includes latch motors and lock motors for power backdoors and power slide doors, as well as drive motors for power windows and power seats.

With the shift to electrified automotive parts, the demand for electric motors and their drivers has increased, prompting the need for more compact, integrated solutions.

The TB9103FTG offers streamlined gate driver capabilities for brushed DC motors that do not require speed control, enabling a more compact design. It features a built-in charge pump circuit that ensures adequate voltage to power external MOSFETs for motor operation.

Additionally, it incorporates a gate monitoring function to prevent through-current by automatically controlling the output timing of the gate signal to the high-side and low-side external MOSFETs.

The IC is also equipped with a sleep function, reducing power consumption in standby mode. It can be utilised as a one-channel H-bridge or a two-channel half-bridge configuration.

Beyond motor driver applications, it can be integrated with an external MOSFET to replace mechanical relays and switches, contributing to quieter operation and enhanced reliability.

Toshiba reaffirmed its commitment to expanding its range of automotive motor drivers, supporting the electrification and enhanced safety of automotive systems.

GUANGDONG DELEGATION HIGHLIGHTS INDUSTRIAL GROWTH, GBA INTEGRATION AT NATIONAL PEOPLE’S CONGRESS

KUALA LUMPUR, March 11 (Bernama) -- The Guangdong Delegation to the third session of the 14th National People's Congress held a plenary meeting on March 6, attracting 267 journalists from 107 domestic and international media outlets.

Led by Provincial Party Secretary Huang Kunming and Governor Wang Weizhong, the delegation addressed key issues on Guangdong’s role in advancing Chinese modernisation and economic development.

Huang in a statement outlined Guangdong's strategy for creating a modern industrial system, emphasising the integration of technological innovation with industrial progress.

The province's robust industrial base spans all 31 major manufacturing sectors, featuring nine trillion Chinese yuan-level industrial clusters, with innovation and infrastructure remaining core drivers, accelerating the commercialisation of research.

Guangdong's trade volume reached nine trillion Chinese yuan (US$1.2 trillion) in 2024, reinforcing its global economic position. Additionally, the province launched the Action Plan for Attracting a Million Talents to South Guangdong, aiming to recruit one million college graduates for employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, bolstering its talent pool. (US$1=RM4.42)

Meanwhile, on regional cooperation, Governor Wang highlighted the economic importance of the Greater Bay Area (GBA), which contributes one-ninth of China’s national gross domestic product (GDP) despite comprising less than one per cent of the country’s land area and housing only six per cent of its population.

In 2024, the GBA’s GDP reached 14.5 trillion Chinese yuan (US$2 trillion), marking a significant increase of 3.7 trillion Chinese yuan (US$511 billion) since 2018.

Hengqin, a key platform for Macao’s economic diversification, saw its GDP soar from 285 million Chinese yuan (US$39 million) in 2009 to 53.8 billion Chinese yuan (US$7.4 billion) by 2024, with high-tech industries now making up 59.4 per cent of its industrial output.

The "Open Day" event provided a platform for Guangdong to showcase its economic progress and global partnerships, reaffirming its role as a global leader through innovation, openness, and sustainable growth.
