Marsh's latest commercial rates index is the main topic of conversation on the latest episode of the Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, rates dropped again in the Australia-dominated Pacific region, and globally they fell for the first time in seven years.

This week’s edition of INsight, hosted by Insurance News MD Andrew Silcox, features the observations of editor-in-chief John Deex, deputy editor Wendy Pugh, and senior journalists Bernice Han and Miranda Maxwell.

The panel also discusses upcoming changes to the Victorian builders' warranty scheme, the latest action on broken pricing promises, and the ongoing campaign to axe insurance taxes.
