- “Funded reinsurance is growing rapidly and has the potential to undermine the resilience of insurers if not managed properly. Today’s proposals aim to iron out the discrepancy in the regulatory treatment for these deals, to protect pensioners and improve insurers’ incentives to invest directly in the UK economy.”
- The proposals should reduce incentives for firms to choose funded reinsurance over other sources of capital, supporting future resilience and also driving more direct investment in its place, including investment in the UK economy.
By aligning regulatory treatments, the plans not only protect pensioners but are also expected to incentivize insurers to invest more directly in the UK economy, influencing both capital flow and overall financial stability.
