G20 & Global Systemic Risk : how to differentiate Insurance vs Banking challenges? with Zhili Cao

In the aftermath of the great financial crisis,  both researchers and regulators have put the systemic risk regulation on top of their agenda. A systemic capital surcharge (as well as other macro-prudential policy tools) has been imposed on global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). Currently, G20 and the Financial Stability Board propose to impose a similar systemic capital surcharge for the 9 global systemically important insurers (G-SIIs) they identified in 2013. 

In this talk, we will review how the systemic risk importance can be differentiated between banking and insurance sector, and explain the current process ongoing at G20/FSB levels on this systemic capital surcharge in insurance sector, as well as open questions remaining to be answered, at the overall financial industry level.
