Table 1 Unit: in RMB millions, except for percentages

Notes:

1. The definitions and calculation methods of the abovementioned main indicators of solvency of the Company (at its own level), China Re P&C, China Re Life and China Continent Insurance are the same as those set out in the Solvency Regulatory Rules (Nos. 1-17) for Insurance Companies (Bao Jian Fa [2015] No. 22).

The year-on-year increase in net profit of the Group on a consolidated basis from January to March 2021 was mainly due to (i) the year-on-year increase in domestic and overseas investment income resulting from the optimisation of the position structure and timely realisation of gains by seizing the opportunities arising from the fluctuations in the equity market; and (ii) the year-on-year improvement of underwriting profit as affected by the adjustment of the international business structure and the rising rates.
