Solvency 2 presents a great opportunity for the evolution of the Insurance business.

In Insurance, many professionals criticize the regulation of Solvency 2 as an additional constraint, which limit their freedom to run the business. Because of more capital requirement trends, insurers will focus on reducing the guarantees or increasing the prices in order to maintain their margin.

However, if you make a pause and go to the balcony, you might also see an opportunity to re-think the insurance business model, to work differently for saving capital needs. This means to understand your various risks accurately and their impacts on the capital requirement to adopt your strategy. Concurrently, any solution that brings better productivity should be considered with attention. Therefore, focusing on the 3 following dimensions will be decisive in the next 2 years:

  • risk policy and insurance products,
  • process and services provided,
  • investment tactics.
