Insurance annual review 2019-2020
Welcome to our review of 2019 as we look ahead to what is on the horizon for the insurance sector in 2020.
Welcome to our annual insurance review 2019-2020.
As we look back on last year’s important legal developments and to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, it is once again clear that the market’s resilience and ability to embrace change will remain critical to its success.
Brexit, corporate sustainability, diversity and inclusion and digital transformation initiatives will continue to be a priority during 2020. We expect the sector will also face increasing regulatory pressure arising out of the FCA’s publication of its Position Statement on pricing and we expect to see the FCA taking investigatory and enforcement work on financial and non-financial misconduct.
In our review, we share updates and insights in relation to the most important issues to help ensure that you are informed and prepared for 2020 and beyond.
If you have any queries or would like more information or support with any of the issues raised in our review, please do not hesitate to contact me or the authors directly; we would be delighted to hear from you.
