When will the Invisible Hard Market become visible?

Taking Control: The Seven Steps to Surviving Any Market

The insurance industry has predicted that another hard market is on its way. For businesses this translates into higher insurance prices, lower coverage availability and constricted renewal conditions.  But many have called this an “Invisible Hard Market” as signs of a firming market are far and few between.  The question remains, how long will this extended soft market continue?

This probably comes as no surprise considering the cost-saving efforts began from our declining economy in 2008.
