Businesses seeking renewals or new property and casualty insurance (P&C) coverage over the coming year will continue to encounter rate increases and greater underwriter scrutiny as insurers remain guarded due to ongoing economic uncertainty and the major impact of catastrophic weather events on property coverage.

Rate increases, access and capacity will vary significantly from industry to industry and region to region. Specifically, pricing will be influenced by the client’s industry, location relative to catastrophe-prone (CAT) areas, loss history and the effectiveness of its risk management strategy.
