6Regulatory responses and lessons learned

Are WorldRegulators Barking up theWrong Trees?

Stricter capital requirements for insurance:

May be excessive

And penalize the offer of long term life insurance products due to excessive capital absorption

Yet serious lessons should be drawn:

On institutions that put the whole system at risk

And the dilemma and moral hazard of “too big to fail!”

10Italian insurance premiums: dynamics and forecasts

Life:2009: strong growth driven by savings products and banc assurance (after three years of consistent decrease)

Next years: reallocation of families’financial wealth towards life policies; slowdown of banc assurance sales; stable growth of traditional networks

P&C:2009: decreasing direct premiums, but recovery expected from the third quarter

Next years: recovery of premiums volumes expected in motor insurance due to tariff increases and in non-motor thanks to an improving economic trend
