"The Challenges For Insurance And Regulators In A Big Data World" Speech By Andrew Bailey, Chief Executive Of The UKâs Financial Conduct Authority At The ABI Annual Conference, Wednesday 22nd November 2016
It is a great pleasure to be at the ABI Conference today. Insurance is very important to the effective functioning of our society and economy. It is therefore very important to the FCA. On a slightly selfish note, I have to admit also that it is a great pleasure to talk about insurance today and not speak about Solvency II. I will go out on a limb and say there is more to life than Solvency II, important though it is.

TheCityUK Responds To Productivity Focused Autumn Statement
Following the Autumn Statement, TheCityUK supports measures taken by Chancellor Philip Hammond to boost productivity and deliver economic stability.
Miles Celic, Chief Executive, TheCityUK, said: “Today’s announcements should help to bring greater market stability, while emphasising the fact that Britain remains open for business. The long-term impact of Brexit will depend on the nature of the final deal, but uncertainty and volatility present real challenge and the Chancellor is right to focus on stability and productivity.
“We applaud the announcement of the £23bn productivity investment fund, particularly the focus on enhancing physical and digital connectivity. As part of this, the committed investment to UK FinTech and the deployment of regional FinTech envoys will be an important boost to this burgeoning sector. Taken together, these measures should act to stimulate sustainable economic growth and will play an important part in addressing the long-term slowdown in UK productivity gains.”
