FSCO reports that rate filings approved during the second quarter of 2013 declined on average by 0.09%, based on the entire market. However, you can't really read too much into these figures since only about 25% of the market had new rates approved during the quarter and the majority of those involved no rate increase or decrease at all but rather re-adjusting their rates. Only 5 companies had rate changes approved representing just 4.5% of the market.
With the government commitment to reduce rates by 15% in the backdrop, insurers have not been filing for rate changes but instead waiting to see how the rate rollback will play out.
