Email News Service May 2012: Insurance regulators aim at the non-traditional in system risk

BASEL, Switzerland, May 31 (Global Risk Regulator) – Global regulators want higher weightings to be given to the “non-traditional” activities of insurers in a planned scoring system designed to determine whether an insurance company represents a systemic risk.

In their long-awaited proposals, the regulators accept that, unlike banking, there’s little evidence that traditional insurance business either generates or amplifies risk within the financial system as a whole or in the real economy. That will come as relief to the insurance industry world-wide which has long argued that insurers don’t represent systemic risk and feared that firms would be unfairly enmeshed in burdensome rules designed for banks in the wake of the global financial crisis.
