Value of new business increased by 28 per cent to reach a new high of US$3,512 million and we also achieved strong growth in IFRS operating profit and free surplus. Today’s results are the direct outcome of the scale, quality and breadth of AIA’s exceptional businesses across the region and the significant progress we are making in delivering our strategic objectives.

    “The Board has recommended an increase of 17 per cent in the 2017 final dividend, reflecting the strength of AIA's financial results as well as our confidence in the outlook for the Group.

    “AIA has been in Asia for almost a century and we operate in some of the most dynamic and attractive life insurance markets in the world. With our deep roots and long history in Asia, we have aligned our growth strategy with the opportunities created by the unprecedented structural economic, demographic and social changes taking place across our markets. AIA’s extensive distribution reach, product innovation, trusted brand and outstanding people capabilities place us in a unique position to help safeguard the financial security of consumers across the Asia-Pacific region.

    "Our focus continues to be on the execution of our strategic priorities that will build on our competitive advantages and make a material difference to AIA’s future. I am confident that our teams will continue to deliver profitable growth and long-term value for our shareholders as we help our customers live healthier, longer, better lives and plan for a brighter future.”
