Property-casualty insurers facing continued market volatility this year must focus on coping with factors such as price stabilization, claims inflation and increased regulation, a consulting firm said.
That advice was contained in the Ernst & Young Global Insurance Center's US property/casualty industry outlook for 2009, which found in 2008 the p-c sector had been spared serious impact from the financial crisis.
"Insurers will need to address a wide range of risks, including continued volatility in investment and underwriting performance, a potentially active mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market and a more rigorous regulatory landscape," advised Peter R. Porrino, global insurance director for Ernst & Young's Global Insurance Center.
