Insurers were even less optimistic according to the quarterly CBI/PwC Financial Services Survey.

Broker optimism experienced a sharp drop in the last quarter of 2017 according research from PwC and the CBI.

A net 22% of brokers said they were pessimistic about the overall business situation in their sector.

In the same period of 2016 the balance was in favour of optimism by 40%.

The current pessimism is also in contrast to the summer 2017 when overall brokers were upbeat but continues the trend for falling optimism which was first seen in September 2017.
