Rating agency Moody's has issued a report maintaining a negative outlook on China's life insurance sector, reflecting continued pressure on insurers' capital adequacy and profitability in a low interest-rate environment.

As the People's Bank of China will maintain a moderately accommodative policy stance in 2026, Moody's expects long-term bond yields to remain at low levels. With the industry's solvency ratios having already shown preliminary signs of weakening since 3Q25, the declining recurring investment yields and sluggish growth in contractual service margin will continue to weigh on underlying profitability.
