Property-Casualty Insurance Inflation Indexes: Communicating with the Public

An important topic of the general subject of Inflation Implications on Property-Casualty Insurance is Communicating with the Public. The emphasis in this paper will be on influences of general U. S. inflation which are causing severe problems for all lines of insurance, particularly lines which are of critical concern to the policyholder public. The discussion link between general U. S. inflation and the Property-Casualty lines will be the U. S. Consumer Price Index (CPI). The current general knowledge of the U. S. CPI because of much publicized monthly increases make it a good communication link between general inflation and the severe effects on individual lines of insurance.
