中国限制赴香港买保险

The rise of cross-border business in Hong Kong has been a boon to many Asian insurers, coming at a time when growth in other parts of the region is stuttering.

香港跨境保险业务的增长对很多亚洲保险公司而言是福音，因为在同一时间，它们在亚洲其他地区的增长较为乏力。

At UK-based Prudential, for example, Hong Kong sales jumped 58 per cent year-on-year for the first six months of 2016. Sales in Indonesia and Singapore, by contrast, fell. Hong Kong now accounts for more than half of Prudential’s Asian sales, up from one-fifth five years ago.

比如，2016年上半年，英国保诚集团(Prudential)在香港的保险销售额同比跃升58%。相比之下，该公司在印尼和新加坡的保险销售额下降了。香港现在占保诚在亚洲保险销售额的一半以上，5年前则为五分之一。

Hong Kong-based AIA has also benefited from the trend — Hong Kong now accounts for almost 40 per cent of its new business — as have other insurers such as Canada’s Manulife.

总部在香港的友邦保险(AIA)也得益于这股趋势，香港现在占其新业务的近40%。加拿大宏利(Manulife)等其他保险公司也受益匪浅。

UnionPay said last month that cardholders would no longer be able to use its services to buy insurance products with investment or savings components — by far the best-selling policies on the market.
