The 2007 JP Morgan Deloitte General Insurance Survey provides a detailed overview of the current state of the Australian general insurance industry and the industry’s expectations.

The report delivers critical information on the key elements of the industry from direct underwriters, reinsurers and brokers, including:

• detailed product information for the current period and industry expectations for the next two years covering issues
• perceptions of product profitability
• operational efficiency
• distribution trends
• broker’s perceptions of underwriters.
  

This year we have also taken the opportunity to gauge the industry’s view as to the embedding of financial targets and risk appetite, the effect of climate change, the seriousness of fraud and insight into those areas which insurers expect to obtain gains in underwriting excellence.

The full report is only available to survey participants however an executive summary is available for download below.
