2nd March 2021

Claims exchanges remained relatively stable for the week ending 27 February 2021 according to the CAPS Claims Analysis Report.

Measured against the exchanged peak – week ending 07 November 2020 – unique claims saw a two percent increase over the previous week rising to 76%, while supply chain transmissions stood at 82%, a one per cent increase on the previous week’s figure.

The week’s activity, although continuing the rise and fall trend since the start of Lockdown 3.0, breaks the pattern seen during the past few weeks which had witnessed major fluctuations from week-to-week. It also signalled the lowest increase seen over the reporting period.

Regionally, Greater London and Northern Ireland demonstrated three consecutive weeks of exchange volume increase, whilst for the third week in a row East Midlands; North East, North West; and Scotland all showed decreases.
