Professional Indemnity Insurance Market Insights Q3 2020

The dramatic change in professional indemnity market conditions started in 2019 and has continued to accelerate into 2020.

COVID-19 and the associated global economic downturn are compounding the hardening market and increasing uncertainty.

While the global insurance market continues to be well capitalised, the focus has shifted to long-term profitability and portfolio balance.
