How Global Regulatory Convergence Affects Your Bottom Line
Financial regulation is undergoing a profound change. International regulatory initiatives have gained momentum since the financial crisis and are shaping the agenda for U.S. regulators at both the state and federal levels. The international standards being developed are often not appropriate for the U.S. market, would create competitive imbalances, and impose very significant compliance costs for all insurers, regardless of size or domicile. This panel will provide an overview of the key international players, discuss the most prominent issues that will impact insurers, and give CEOs the opportunity to ask questions about potential international regulations that could be imposed on the U.S. marketplace.

Insurers are increasingly caught in the middle between conflicting rate pressures, as catastrophe modelers, rating agencies, and reinsurers take actions creating upward pressures and regulators continue to exert downward pressure. This panel is an opportunity to discuss how to address these conflicting pressures and to discuss how to reconcile the differing factors.
