In September 2023, the U.K.'s Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) released its second consultation paper on reforms to the Solvency II regime for U.K. insurers. These reforms relate to the use of the Matching Adjustment, a mechanism that adjusts the discount rate that can be applied to the valuation of an insurer’s insurance and reinsurance obligations.
In this episode of the “The Standard Formula” podcast, host and Skadden partner Rob Chaplin is joined by colleague Theo Charalambous to discuss the intricacies of the U.K.'s Matching Adjustment regime for insurers, including the rationale behind it, which liabilities are eligible, existing conditions and how it’s calculated.
