2 April 2009 The Impact of the Economic Crisis on the P&C Insurance Industry
Commercial insurance follows a boom-and-bust pricing cycle that, conventional wisdom proclaims, is largely uncorrelated with broader economic cycles. But the current recession is different. The severity of the economic crisis will adversely impact both the top lines and bottom lines of commercial insurers, making for a turbulent 2009. This report provides brokers, underwriters and risk managers with essential information about the unprecedented forces shaping today's commercial insurance market.
