Insurance companies are important investors in EU capital markets. Most of their investments are in debt instruments, while equity investments can contribute to higher returns for policyholders and overall EU economic growth. This study analyses the treatment of equity investments by insurance companies in (proposed) EU legislation; it is considered that this legislation will have limited impact on equity investments. To enhance equity investment significantly drivers other than prudential ones would ...

The European Parliament is due to vote on a trilogue agreement on the proposal for a pilot regime for market infrastructure, which will establish a scheme to trade and settle transactions of financial instruments in crypto-asset form. The regime follows the ‘sandbox’ approach that allows for temporary derogations from some specific requirements. This way, the development of solutions for the trading and settlement of transactions in crypto-assets should be encouraged, while preserving a high level ...

Indirect consequences (partly reinforcing pre-existing trends) include: the further development of payment services provided by non-bank competitors, an acceleration in bank digitalisation, a rise in cyber-attacks ...
