Manage episode 389070795 series 3426299
This episode of “The Standard Formula” podcast is part three of the “Back to Basics” series, which takes a deep dive into the Solvency II regime. Skadden partner Rob Chaplin is joined by his colleague Meher Pahuja to discuss third-country branches and the cross-border provision of services.
Rob and Meher explore the significance of third-country branches and the cross-border provision of services, shedding light on the regulatory landscape before and after Brexit. They emphasize the importance of these topics, discussing “passporting” and pre-Brexit regulations. They also provide insights into the post-Brexit environment, explaining the Temporary Permissions Regime (TPR) and the Financial Services Contracts Regime (FSCR) in the U.K., in addition to briefly covering the contingency arrangements implemented by the EU.
Later in the episode, Rob and Meher analyze the Prudential Regulation Authority’s (PRA's) proposals to remove capital requirements for third-country branches, and highlight the PRA's efforts to encourage competition and protect customers in the U.K. insurance market.
