Ping An profits tumble due to Covid and property woes
中国平安2021年净利下滑
Ping An, one of the world’s biggest insurers by market value, suffered its biggest profit fall in more than a decade last year due to Covid-related weakness in demand and a hit from soured property developments.
按市值计算为世界最大保险公司之一的中国平安(Ping An)去年出现10多年来最大幅度的利润下跌，原因包括与新冠疫情相关的需求疲弱，以及房地产开发项目烂尾的打击。
The company released annual results on Thursday describing “complex and severe” external conditions that had held back sales, as it posted a fall in group net profit to Rmb101bn ($16bn), from Rmb143bn in 2020 — the 29 per cent fall was its worst since 2008, according to Capital IQ data.
该公司周四发布年度业绩，称“复杂严峻”的外部环境阻碍了销售。该公司报告的集团净利润从2020年的1430亿元人民币下降至1010亿元人民币（合160亿美元）——根据Capital IQ的数据，这一29%的降幅是2008年以来最糟糕的。
