The cooperative-turned-corporation should come up with its own programme to improve its profitability and expand at home and abroad

Many of these relate to projections by the German insurer that Income could return S$1.85 billion in cash to its shareholders within three years of the transaction.
This, in turn, has raised questions about whether the deal – if that left Income with a much lower capital base – is consistent with Income’s social mission of providing accessible and inclusive insurance.
