The mid-year reinsurance renewals are the first issue discussed on the latest episode of the Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, softer global reinsurance market conditions benefited Australian underwriters, while insurer consolidation and the cyclone pool have affected demand.

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

Also discussed by the panel are broker and insurer code compliance issues, Zurich’s entry to the direct home insurance market, and the inaugural Rising Stars Insurance Ball.
