Research limitations/implications – This research has certainly limitations such as the research object used relatively small only the joint general insurance companies which submitted complete financial reports which are listed by Otoritas Jasa Keuangan and followed by the company’s official website. Practical implications – This research indicates that those companies are noticed about an increase in premiums, but on the other hand they have also received many claims, therefore those premiums will be diverted to finance the claims which occur lately, then this certainly would decrease an income or profitability of the insurance company itself.
