Reduction in auto GST rates could lower general insurance premiums by up to 7% as the Insured Declared Value (IDV), which includes GST, will decrease with the lower GST rate.
This reduction will also lower the ex-showroom price of vehicles, further reducing the IDV. The motor insurance segment significantly impacts insurers, contributing 40% of ICICI Lombard’s and 30% of New India Assurance’s business, indicating a notable effect on these company’s premium collections and pricing strategies.
US President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Friday to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War. This move restores the department’s original name used until 1949, aiming to project strength and a “warrior ethos.”
The new title will initially be a secondary name while seeking congressional approval to make it permanent. The change also allows the Secretary of Defense to be called the Secretary of War. The rebranding is expected to cost around a billion dollars due to required updates across agencies, emblems, uniforms, and more, stirring debate on the expense and focus of the Pentagon.
Thailand’s parliament has elected business tycoon Anutin Charnvirakul as the new prime minister, becoming the country’s third leader in two years after the removal of Paetongtarn Shinawatra by the Constitutional Court.
