The latest episode of the Insurance News podcast examines the latest APRA statistics and what they mean for the industry and its customers.

As insuranceNEWS.com.au reported this week, the figures show that the general insurance industry recorded an annual 73.3% fall in net profit after-tax to $900 million for the year to September.

The INsight podcast, hosted by Insurance News Managing Director Andrew Silcox, features the insights of Publisher Terry McMullan and Managing Editor John Deex on what the statistics really tell us about industry profitability, the causes of the profit drop, and what it means for the hardening market.

We also tackle insurance affordability, business interruption claims clarity - or rather the lack of it, the Insurance Council of Australia exodus, Zurich’s new progressive parental leave, and the continuing and disappointing industry pay gap.

You can find a new episode of INsight published here every Wednesday.
