PCS filed its response to EIOPA’s disappointing consultation on a possible reform of the capital requirements for insurance companies investing in securitisations.
The response may be found here.
The consultation was, in our view, a major disappointment. EIOPA’s preliminary conclusions – underlined by their statements at a public roundtable attended by PCS – were that the current framework was “fit for purpose”.
For all the reasons set out in our response, PCS feels that this is not borne out by the facts and that the assertion itself as set out in EIOPA’s consultation document feels more like an “act of faith” than a genuinely reasoned conclusion.
We hope that the responses provided by stakeholders will lead EIOPA to reconsider the importance of fixing a framework that is unfair, inaccurate, and deeply damaging to the prospects of the European economy as well as a source of potentially destabilising regulatory arbitrage.
