<abstract displayLabel="Summary">he report highlights the resilience of Canada's property and casualty (P-C) insurance industry, which maintains stable credit fundamentals despite increasing volatility from climate-related catastrophes, economic uncertainty, and emerging risks. In 2024, the industry faced record-breaking insured losses exceeding CAD 9 billion, driven by severe weather events, yet continued to demonstrate strong financial performance supported by robust capitalization, disciplined underwriting, and solid investment returns. Ratings remained stable, with most insurers maintaining Excellent or Superior credit ratings. Challenges persist in the auto sector due to rising accident frequency and theft, while the property segment showed resilience. The report also explores emerging risks such as geopolitical tensions, cyber threats, PFAS exposure, and the growing role of AI and insurtech. Regulatory developments and ongoing reforms, particularly in Alberta's auto insurance framework, are shaping the future landscape. Mergers and acquisitions, distribution shifts, and technological innovation are expected to drive continued transformation and consolidation across the Canadian P/C insurance market</abstract>
