GST exemption could take a toll on insurers' health

Exempting life and health insurance premiums from GST may result in lower costs for policyholders but could reduce insurers' margins, prompting potential price adjustments. If input tax credits on expenses like commissions are lost, insurers might either raise premiums or absorb costs, affecting profitability. The competitive term-insurance market faces a dilemma: increasing premiums risks customer loss, while not doing so impacts margins. Insurers must decide on operating at reduced margins or losing market share.

Amazon's senior employees may not get a cash pay raise this year

Amazon has announced that senior employees who receive more stock-related compensation than cash may not receive a cash pay raise this year. The company is prioritizing cash base pay increases for employees whose compensation is weighted more heavily in base pay.

China's state planner warns intensified EV price war on oversupply

China's state planner, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), is predicting an intensified price war among electric car and plug-in hybrid manufacturers in the country due to issues like oversupply.

However, the market demand for new energy vehicles is expected to be 2.1 million units, while the top NEV brands plan to deliver 2.3 million units in 2024, indicating oversupply.
