Progressive Corp.: A Closer Look at The Biggest Catalysts For Future Growth – Financial Forecasts
- Progressive Corp delivered a mixed set of results in its most recent result, with revenues above Wall Street expectations but below-par earnings.
- The growth in new applications represents an increase in quotes from the current shopping in the marketplace as well as an increase in the convention.
- This resulted in increasing reserves as well as reach with increases in rate.
Singapore Code of Conduct for ESG Ratings Is Less Risk and More Reward
- The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) recently launched a public consultation regarding a Code of Conduct for ESG ratings providers and ESG data product providers in Singapore.
- It is the right approach for Singapore – a voluntary best-practices framework furthering one of the world’s most credible “green” economies, not a regulatory force-fix of something broken.
- No surprise ratings methodology changes. No en masse upgrades/downgrades. No acute shocks to the system. Just slow and steady progress for ESG investing and finance in Singapore.
