Insurance Premiums expected to rise

Insurance premiums to rise in 2009

According to a survey carried out by AON, a leading Risk Management and Reinsurance specialist, the vast majority of UK underwriters expect  to see a rise in insurance premiums during the first quarter of 2009.

92% of Uk underwriters predicted an increase in premiums for vehicle insurance, whilst 74% felt a rise in property rates was on the cards. 69% thought that liability premiums would increase.

Aon commented that, ‘Insurers are looking to make up for three to four years of offering competitive rates, as well as dealing with rising claims costs and a difficult economic environment’.

However, despite rising prices, Steve Redgwell, Aon’s broking director for mid to large sized UK businesses expects competition between insurers to remain as strong as ever.

“Underwriters are still hungry for new business and it is possible for companies to achieve highly competitive rates – as long as businesses can evidence that they are committed to and have a culture of good risk management,” .

Commenting on the prospect of an increase in rates, he said, “We are hearing very strong messages from insurers about rates rising but these have not yet manifested themselves into actual increases.  However, UK companies must be aware of and prepare for the imminent shift in insurance market conditions that could affect their cover and premiums.”
