Meanwhile, the Insurance Asset Management Association of China (IAMAC) also issued a statement clarifying the insurance industry's long-term investment support for the healthcare sector.

Previously, in its series report on China's commercial health insurance, CICC discussed how commercial health insurance has fallen into the vicious cycle of low product value creation and funding efficiency—insufficient payment capacity struggles to leverage medical resources—making it difficult to enhance product value creation and funding efficiency. This cycle stems from the combined effects of numerous long-standing, top-down obstacles.

The broker believed that this policy package directly addresses key bottlenecks, effectively guiding the industry toward a positive feedback and ushering in a new era of development.

CICC recommended investors to focus on investment opportunities in the following areas: (1) leading internet platforms and giant insurance groups committed to and with the potential to build systemic projects for commercial insurance payments; (2) leading brokerage channels and related entities deeply involved in the more efficient corporate group insurance sector; (3) reinsurers and insurers that continued to build health insurance management capabilities or benefit from the development of the health insurance market; (4) pharmaceutical upstream and downstream enterprises benefiting from the incremental commercial insurance payments.
