IAG's struggles with inflation and catastrophe claims, and the impact on its margins, are the hot topic for discussion on the latest edition of the Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, the major insurer has increased pricing by 10% or more, but still needed to issue a margins downgrade in a preview of its half-year results.

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 Miranda Maxwell.

Other topics discussed by the panel include the Auckland flood, the meeting between the government and insurers on affordability, the latest outlook on insurtech, and the results of our broker survey.
