The Company also conducted an analysis on the loss data for operational risk as well as key risk indicators monitoring on a quarterly basis, and the operational risk was generally preventable and controllable.
For reputational risk, the Company strictly and closely monitored public opinions through the real-time monitoring of media around the clock for seven days a week, and strengthened its efforts to analyze public opinions by grasping their main characteristics and development trends, in order to seize the initiative to address the public opinions.

7. | MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION |
(1) | Change of Solvency Ratios and the Reasons therefor |
As at September 30, 2022, the core solvency ratio and comprehensive solvency ratio of the Company were 161.93% and 230.26%, respectively, representing the decrease of 7.12 percentage points and 5.30 percentage points as compared to those as at the end of the previous quarter. The main reason for the change is divided into two aspects: firstly, the actual capital decreased by RMB58,816 million from the end of the previous quarter, as a result of which the comprehensive solvency ratio decreased by 12.46 percentage points. In particular, admitted assets decreased by RMB55,912 million from the end of the previous quarter, which was primarily due to a decrease of RMB67,396 million in investment assets; and admitted liabilities rose by RMB2,904 million from the end of the previous year, which was mainly attributable to a decrease of RMB76,593 million in financial liabilities and an increase of RMB87,846 million in reserve liabilities, respectively. Secondly, the minimum capital decreased by RMB14,677 million from the end of the previous quarter, as a result of which the comprehensive solvency ratio increased by 7.16 percentage points. In particular, the minimum capital for life insurance risk grew by RMB1,206 million; the minimum capital for market risk declined by RMB11,282 million; and the minimum capital for credit risk decreased by RMB1,893 million. In general, the core solvency ratio and comprehensive solvency ratio of the Company are well above the regulatory requirements, and the Company has sufficient solvency.
(2) | Change of Regulatory Indicators for Liquidity Risk and the Reasons therefor |
As at the end of the third quarter of 2022, the regulatory indicators for liquidity risk of the Company were conformed to the regulatory standards. There was no significant change in the liquidity coverage ratio under the basic scenario as compared to that in the second quarter. Backtracking of net cash flow from operating activities has shown positive deviation for three consecutive quarters, and the cumulative net cash flow of the current year increased by RMB9,564 million from the second quarter. Pursuant to the provisions of the “Solvency Regulatory Rules for Insurance Companies No. 13: Liquidity Risk” and the relevant requirements, the Company has established a well-developed liquidity risk management mechanism to monitor various regulatory indicators for liquidity risk on a quarterly basis, with a view to preventing liquidity risk in an effective manner.

(3) | Analysis of the Change in the IRR Results |
According to the C-ROSS Supervision Information System of the CBIRC, the result of the IRR of the Company in the second quarter of 2022 was AAA Category, which remained stable with no obvious change from the result of the IRR in the first quarter of 2022. |
(4) | Analysis of the Key Risks Faced by the Company |
In light of the financial environment and capital market, and after taking into account the measures adopted and initiatives taken by it in respect of risks, the Company has carried out a comprehensive analysis of the key risks affecting its solvency, the specific details of which are as follows: |
1) | Market risk |
In 2022, in consideration of the market situation, the Company combined strategic allocation with tactical operation, gave full play to the strengths of external and internal managers, diversified fixed-income assets, took the initiatives to manage equity exposures, and continuously optimized position structure, ensuring the market risk to remain stable generally. Under the current situation of COVID-19 pandemic, the major economies around the globe were hit by the demand- and supply-side changes, and the geopolitical conflicts exacerbated, as a result of which volatilities in both domestic and international markets escalated and there were profound changes in the risk situation. Under the new environment of investment risk after the outbreak of the conflicts, the Company will strength research on the risk return and attitude of major asset categories, facilitate the construction of a comprehensive system for the management of investment risk, and enhance its capability of market risk judgement, so as to effectively manage market risk in a scientifical manner. The Company will reasonably adjust the portfolio composition and duration on an ongoing basis, take active actions in matching assets with liabilities in terms of duration, and diversify market risk by making appropriate and diverse investments. |
2) | Credit risk |
Overall, the credit situation of fixed-income assets of the Company was satisfactory. No material credit default event occurred for the Company in the third quarter of 2022, and the credit risks of the Company were generally well controlled. Since the beginning of the year, the “triple pressure” on the domestic economy has been intensified as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and changes in the COVID-19 pandemic. Major economies overseas have experienced serious inflation, the driving force for economic growth has diminished, shrinking demand is intertwined with disrupted supply, and uncertainties for economic development have increased significantly. As the interest rate of the capital market was at low level, credit risk was relatively high. In relation to credit risk management, the Company proceeded with it from various aspects such as investment credit risk, reinsurance credit risk, renewal credit risk and other credit risks of receivables. The Company selected counterparties with excellent credit qualification for transactions, requested for credit enhancement as the case required, and conducted dynamic monitoring and control of credit |

concentration and credit facilities. The Company carried out stringent administration with respect to the conditions for review of reinsurance recipients and conducted its internal ratings thereon, determined the business scope of reinsurance for cooperation according to the rating results, updated the forms of creditability of reinsurers as scheduled, and monitored any emergencies such as any issues arisen with respect to the credibility of reinsurance recipients or an abrupt deterioration of their solvency. The Company continued to strengthen its control over business quality at the source, took advantage of continuous assessments as the guidance for its development, and implemented the control in vulnerable areas. The Company also regularly organized branches and directly-controlled institutions to conduct thorough investigation into other payables and receivables and further strengthened the management of other payables and receivables, so as to guard against operational risks under its control. |
3) | Insurance risk |
The Company made a judgment on the adequacy of reserves according to actuarial principles. In the third quarter of 2022, the reserves of the Company satisfied the adequacy requirement, and its insurance risk was stable and well controlled. The Company devised a system for risk limit indicators and carried out normal monitoring analysis, so as to contain risks within a controllable range. It implemented an effective product development and management system to strictly control product pricing risks, and strengthened empirical analysis to offer support to pricing assumptions and assessment assumptions, in order to prevent and control insurance risks from the front end of products. The Company effectively guarded against adverse selection risks and insurance frauds through the establishment and implementation of a well-developed system for verification of insurance policies and claims, as well as the practical operation regulations. In addition, it transferred and mitigated insurance risk through a scientific and reasonable reinsurance arrangement. |
