    INSURANCE premiums are likely to see a firmer rise this year following a marginal increase in 2018, said Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) chief executive Chris Fischer Hirs.

    The overall market rose for the first time in 2018 after years of decline - and it will take several more years of premium adjustments before the risk-reward balance can be restored, Mr Fischer said in an interview with The Business Times.
