Green Delta Insurance has posted a 243 per cent growth in its second quarter (Q2) earnings for April-June, 2021, compared to the same quarter of last year thanks to higher investment income and lower net claim.
In a filing with the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) on Tuesday, the insurer said its consolidated earnings per share (EPS) increased to Tk 2.23 for April-June, 2021, up by a whopping 243 per cent, from Tk 0.65 in the corresponding period.
