Research and Consulting has released its latest forecast for the life-health insurance industry. This edition forecasts the life-health industry financial results for 2007 through 2009.

"Analysis of 2006 results for the life insurance industry shows statutory net operating gains of $27.4 billion, down $5.4 billion from the record 2005 results. Separately, our GAAP estimate for 2006 results indicates net operating income of $61.4 billion," said Stephan Christiansen, director of research at Conning Research & Consulting. "We forecast statutory net operating gain increases for the period 2007 through 2009, despite the single- year drop in 2006, as individual life sales improve and group annuities stabilize."
