Summary:

In response to a congressional request, GAO provided information about past financial cycles in the property/casualty insurance industry.

To identify past cyclicity, GAO plotted the insurance industry's underwriting gains or losses over time. GAO expressed underwriting gains or losses in: (1) a ratio of the claims, expenses, and policyholder dividends paid to the premium income; and (2) the difference between the amount of premium income and the amount of claims, expenses, and policyholder dividends.
