Panelists:

Tom Wilson, CRO, Allianz SE

Moderator: Jozefina Kontić, ICIR

This panel will discuss the role of insurance companies for the propagation of economic shocks. The focus will lie on two aspects in particular: the complexity and opacity of insurance companies on the one hand, and the diversification potential of insurance activities in terms of systemic risk on the other hand. While the first part covers the measurement of systemic risk and unveils a long-term systemic impact of shocks, the second part illustrates how insurance companies can actively lower systemic risk by adjusting the mix of their insurance business. These topics have substantial implications for the macro-prudential regulation of insurers, also in the light of the recent development of an insurance capital standard (ICS) for internationally active insurance groups.
