Insurance Firm elseco Opens Asian Hub in Singapore
Published
elseco Group, a company that provides reinsurance, has opened a new office called elseco Asia in Singapore. Reinsurance is insurance that insurance companies buy to protect themselves against large losses.
The new office will start by offering accident and health reinsurance. This means that elseco Asia will focus on insurance for injuries, illness and medical costs as its first business area. The company has chosen Singapore as the base for its work in Asia, which shows the country's continuing role as a financial centre in the region.
The opening is one of several moves by international insurance firms to expand their operations in Asia. For Singapore readers, the news shows how the city-state keeps attracting specialist companies in the insurance sector, which can bring new jobs and business activity. The report did not give details about the number of staff or the size of the investment.
elseco Asia's launch is a small but clear step in the company's plans for the region. Further information about the office's future products and services is expected in the coming months.
