Some might say it’s the “most wonderful time of the year” – and whatever holiday you’re celebrating, at Insurance Business Australia we want to offer you our best wishes and our thanks.
Across IB and our sister publications globally we know what a challenging year this has been for the insurance market. The hard market has started to soften, but has still persisted in some lines, rates and cost-of-living pressures have heaped new pressures on your clients’ budgets, while geopolitical, cyber and environmental risks have only heightened.
Yet the latter half of the year has offered genuine hope for the sector – it appears the worst is behind us and there’s a bright new horizon forthcoming. It’s one you deserve to embrace.
Throughout the year, you’ve shared your stories with us – and we’ve been delighted to celebrate your successes whether through our special reports, or at our annual awards. Whether you’ve supported us through your readership, or whether you are one of our illustrious sponsors – we thank you, and believe there are many celebrations to come.
Our office closes on Dec 22, but our newsletter subscribers can enjoy “best of” editions during the festive season – on Dec 27, 28, 29 and Jan 2. We return to our usual editorial output on January 3.
Here’s to a prosperous 2024 for us all. Happy holidays!
