BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Reinsurance pricing floor yet to be reached: Fitch

December 21, 2015 Reprints

Fitch Ratings Inc. has said that a pricing floor in the global reinsurance market has yet to be reached even though rates declined throughout 2015, reported Artemis.bm.

"The agency remains unconvinced that the slowing price reductions, reported at mid-year renewals for some major sub-classes, indicate that a floor has been reached, and that property reinsurance rates have continued to fall in the second half of 2015," the rating agency said.
