In this episode of the Weekly Insurance News Wrap, we discuss the success of Insurance Australia Group (IAG) whose gross written premiums rose by 4.3% to $17.1 billion in 2025. Their shareholders have been rewarded with a 31.0 cents per share dividend, a notable increase of 14.8%. The company forecasts a 10% growth in gross written premiums for the next fiscal year. IAG CEO, Nick Hawkins, has warned of slow-rising insurance premiums due to inflation, increased reinsurance costs, and climate change. The episode also covers Australia's leading strata underwriting agency, CHU's policy changes aimed at simplification, and New South Wales' new regulatory measures to uphold maintenance obligations for strata property owners.
