It’s been another fascinating and thought-provoking year in insurance, and you can click through to today’s Analysis article to remind yourself of some of the most popular stories of 2023. 

While catastrophes finally quietened down in Australia, that wasn’t the case in New Zealand, and there has been a plethora of acquisitions, appointments and regulatory actions to report. 

This is the last regular bulletin of Insurance News for 2023. While we’re in recess for the festive season our Breaking News service will be active to ensure significant industry issues and/or events are covered. Normal services will resume from January 15.  

This year Insurance News published almost 3000 stories and 12 Breaking News bulletins. We ended the year with more than 31,000 subscribers and 60,000 online followers.  

Our Managing Director Andrew Silcox, Managing Editor John Deex and the other members of the Insurance News team of journalists and technical specialists join me in thanking you for your continuing interest. We’d also like to thank the enormous number of industry people who willingly contributed information and commentary for our articles through the year.  

Our advertisers are our major source of revenue, and they deserve your support. Without them the range of services we provide to the insurance industry wouldn’t be possible.  

Whether you’re working through the festive season break or recharging the batteries with friends and families, we at Insurance News wish you a merry and fulfilling Christmas and New Year. Stay safe, be happy.
