Total premiums at 皇冠体育app Life Insurance, the life insurance arm of Ping An Insurance (Group) Co and 皇冠体育app Pacific Insurance (Group) Co rose 5 percent on the year to 46.7 billion yuan ($6.8 billion), the paper quoted unnamed sources as saying.

The slower growth in February was partly caused by restructuring of product lines at some companies, the paper said.

The insurance industry slowed down considerably late last year, but rose strongly in January, defying expectations for a further decline in growth.
