What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Insurance Australia Group offered to transfer the renewal rights for its active NRMA Insurance home and motor policies in Western Australia to a rival insurer. This offer is a structural concession included in a public benefits application lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to resolve a blocked alliance with RAC. The ACCC previously found that the acquisition would leave IAG with between 55 to 65 per cent of motor vehicle insurance and 50 to 60 per cent of home and contents insurance in Western Australia.

Why it matters

The divestment is a structural concession aimed at removing the market overlap that the ACCC objected to, rather than arguing against the regulator's determination. The ACCC named Suncorp, Allianz, QBE, Auto & General, Youi, and Hollard as insurers currently competing in the state.
