da una notizia postata qualche giorno fa ho estratto questa parte che volevo condividere...
Solvency II
The European Union’s Solvency II regulations, due to be implemented in 2013, may change that.
The rules make holding long-dated corporate bonds more expensive for insurers, at a time when banks are planning on selling record amounts of debt.
Without selling corporate bonds, banks may be forced to increase borrowing through loan notes from other banks, boost longer-term deposits or lend less, said Simon Willis, a London- based analyst at Daniel Stewart Securities Plc.
It’s more likely that the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision will soften the proposed rules to allow banks the freedom not to back their liabilities with assets of the same duration, said
Simon Maughan, co-head of European equities at MF Global Ltd. in London.
“By removing duration mismatching, you are condemning many of them to an unprofitable future,” he said. “Politically, it will not wash.”
Non ho compreso bene perchè detenere bond lunghi diventerà più costoso per gli assicurativi.
Poi era riportato anche sul Sole che le assicurazioni avranno meno vantaggi a mantenere bond finanziari rispetto a bond corporate.
avete approfondito ?
grazie mille
