The French must expect price increases in their insurance in 2024 which “will revolve around inflation”, Adrien Couret, general manager of the Aéma group, told AFP on Friday, while the government wants a new gesture. moderation of the profession.
This statement from the boss of the entity bringing together Macif, Aésio and Abeille illustrates the reluctance of the sector to make new commitments after a year of effort, according to an article published Thursday by Argus de l’assurance. “Honestly, the situation is very tough for insurers this year, but we will reiterate, like last year, our call for moderation in prices for daily insurance,” Bercy told the specialized media.
In September 2022, insurers undertook to contain price increases below the level of inflation for 2022 and 2023. “Our profession has kept its commitments”, but this one “is difficult to keep over time”, argued Adrien Couret, referring to the bill for the June earthquake, estimated at 500 million euros, and that of the riots, which could approach one billion euros.
According to him, 2024 will therefore be marked by price increases in insurance which “will revolve around inflation”, insurers being faced with a rise in costs greater than the consumer price index. Asked by AFP, Franck Le Vallois, managing director of the France Assureurs federation, referred to the promise made a year ago, without committing to the future.
This commitment having been made for 2022 and 2023, it “is still relevant” in this new school year, he argued, without mentioning 2024. Insurers regularly remind us of having to deal with the multiplication of natural disasters, but also very significant inflation in the cost of repairs, particularly in the automobile sector.
