In this second issue, in the context of the persistence of the low yield environment and the current regulatory developments, our experts shine a light on the implications for the insurance industry.
Last quarter was dominated by two main events with long term implications for the insurance industry: first, on the economic side, the FED confirmed its dovish stance consolidating the persistence of the low yield environment and second, on the regulatory side, EIOPA issued its opinion on the Solvency II review indicating the lines of the review of the framework.
In this paper, we detail the implications of those two events on the insurance industry. We also analyse the various asset classes in the context of existing portfolio allocations. The publication is divided into three sections:
