The latest Marsh commercial index is the main topic of debate on this week's Insurance News podcast, as rates fell for the first time since 2016.

As previously reported, Marsh predicts "a continuation of improved buying conditions" in the Pacific market for some time yet.

This week’s edition of INsight, hosted by Insurance News MD Andrew Silcox, features the observations of Chairman Terry McMullan, Managing Editor John Deex, Deputy Editor Wendy Pugh and Senior Journalist Bernice Han.

The panel also discusses AFCA's plans to provide clarity around the duty not to make a misrepresentation, difficulties in repairing electric vehicles, and Insurance News' upcoming strata seminar.
