In this special episode of InsuranceERM Weekly, editor Chris Cundy sits down for a fireside chat with Fausto Parente, outgoing executive director of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (Eiopa).
Recorded live at the Insurance Risk & Capital EMEA Conference in London, the conversation explores the final stages of the Solvency II review, the European Commission’s push to reduce regulatory burdens while supporting growth and the role supervisors can play in narrowing Europe’s widening natural catastrophe protection gap.
Parente also reflects candidly on regulatory priorities as he approaches the end of his second term at Eiopa.
In this festive special of InsuranceERM Weekly, host Joshua checks his voicemail to hear reflections from Martin, Christopher and Ronan on the defining risk themes of 2025.
