Regulatory impact on banks and insurers investmentsAgeas
The financial sector is operating in a rapidly changing environment with new regulations coming up and with a growing dependency on macro-economic developments. In this context, banks and insurers are both confronted with the, Basel III and Solvency II regulations that will soon be effective. To get a better insight in the consequences and opportunities of these new regulations for their investment behavior, Ageas has asked Vlerick to make a detailed study.
Vlerick Business School and Ageas and its Belgian operational company AG Insurance, promoters of the Vlerick Chair “Centre for Financial Services”, strongly belief that the exchange between the business community and the academic world is beneficial for both parties by increasing the mutual understanding of each other’s strategies, challenges, opportunities and needs.
