Allianz cancels $1.5B deal to buy Singapore's Income Insurance due to public opposition.

German insurer Allianz has canceled its $1.5 billion deal to buy a 51% stake in Singapore's Income Insurance due to public opposition. The acquisition was intended to boost Allianz's position in Asia, but it faced criticism for potentially undermining Income Insurance's role in providing affordable coverage to lower-income workers. Income Insurance, founded in the 1970s, serves about 1.7 million clients.
