・Well then, insurance is of course one of the big topics about Berkshire's earnings this morning. Evercore's David Moto is on board to talk about bi-ratings related to Travellers, Progressives, Chubb, etc. We were talking about Berkshire's insurance business in the first quarter, particularly GEICO, showing price movements, increasing margins, and reducing advertising costs. It may be an industry-wide trend, but it explains what is happening across the competitive landscape of the insurance market.
・There is a significant hard market in the personal car insurance market, and GEICO is taking quite active action in this field. The focus on profit is showing in the results, and the number of insurance policies has decreased by 13%. This is partly due to a 15% increase in insurance premiums and price increases across the industry. In the case of GEICO, the number of units has decreased considerably, thereby improving profitability. Also, you can see that advertising costs have been drastically reduced and the focus is on profit.
・Explain what we are aiming for...
