Regulatory outlook for 2021
The future of the regulatory landscape in the UK is a big talking point in the insurance industry. With EIOPA proposing a raft of changes to Solvency II, it'll be interesting to see what impact this could have on the future UK framework. In this article, we discuss the key changes we could see in 2021, when these could happen, and what impact they could have on insurers.
Outlook for products and pricing in 2021
Throughout 2020, life insurers have implemented business continuity plans, adapted underwriting processes and reviewed the impact of COVID-19 on their products and customers. But what potential impact does COVID-19 have on life insurance products and pricing this coming year?
