The association’s quarterly survey of insurance rates shows while prices continue to climb, the rate of increase fell a little more than a full point on average from the first quarter to 4.3 percent. Small and medium size accounts had the sharpest increases in Q2 at 4.6 and 4.7 percent respectively, but even there the increases were off slightly by 0.6 points from the Q1 survey. Large accounts were not immune to increases, but the rate of increase fell 1.1 percentage points compared to Q1 to 3.8 percent.
