Review what 2023 might have in store for the property & casualty insurance space with a suite of articles detailing expert opinions on topics ranging from insurance claims and insurtech to line-specific outlooks.
While there are varying measurements of what qualifies as a recession, the consensus is that rising interest rates and high inflation will continue to put the financial squeeze on Americans in the new year.
