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”.

Insurance rate hikes to be tame in New Zealand

August 20, 2019 Reprints

Insurers IAG New Zealand Ltd. and Suncorp Group New Zealand Ltd. said that insurance rates may not rise significantly in 2020 compared with steep hikes this year after they moved to a risk-based pricing strategy, Interest.co.nz reported. IAG also plans to include climate change in its pricing strategy due to increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters. IAG's profit grew 69% year over year to $354 million Australia ($240 million) while Suncorp's profit surged 116% to AUD 246 million in the financial year ended March 31 driven by risk-based pricing and low disaster claims.
