This is the sixteenth edition of the J.P. Morgan Deloitte General Insurance Survey. The 2008 J.P. 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 such as premium rate trends, capacity changes, claims inflation, loss and expense ratios
• perceptions of product profitability
• distribution trends
• key issues
• broker’s perceptions of underwriters.

 As has been our longstanding custom, we have also provided editorial comments from J.P. Morgan and Deloitte on key industry issues which serve as a commentary on industry developments and compliment the survey results and respondent feedback.
