This conference will focus on next steps for the UK insurance sector, examining priorities for long-term growth, resilience and reform.
With insurance identified as a priority sector in the forthcoming Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy, it will be an opportunity to consider how policy and supervisory frameworks can evolve to drive growth and investment, and the way forward for developing a new captive insurance market.
Delegates will assess the implementation of the Solvency UK regime and wider work of the PRA on resilience, including preparing for the upcoming 2025 Life Insurance Stress Test, and priorities for ensuring operational and cyber resilience as firms move beyond the March 2025 compliance milestone.
In light of ongoing efforts to embed the Consumer Duty, sessions will discuss priorities for the FCA’s studies on the Pure Protection market and on the Premium Finance market, focusing on issues such as the cost of motor and home insurance.
Further sessions will discuss how firms are responding to the FCA’s changing expectations around conduct and transparency - with a new consultation on simplifying conduct rules for commercial insurance - as well as implications of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023.
Attendees will also consider the future direction of regulation in areas such as innovation, pricing, and market access.
With the agenda currently in the drafting stage, overall areas for discussion include:
- Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy: growing the insurance sector and driving wider economic growth - driving innovation - developing new markets
- next steps for Solvency UK: capital rules, investment flexibility, and market conditions - alignment with global standards
- wider operational and cyber resilience: implementation priorities and sector-wide coordination - oversight of governance and external dependencies
- stress testing: PRA regulatory use, risk insights, and supervisory decision-making - assessing readiness for shocks
- Consumer Duty: present FCA market studies - product oversight, data use, and value delivery - navigating regulatory expectations - implications for advice, distribution, and remuneration models
- Conduct and transparency: simplifying conduct rules for commercial insurance - understanding structural and cultural challenges
- Wider role of insurance in public policy: climate resilience, transition finance, and collective risk-sharing
