“Regulatory Overview” from a short-term insurance perspective
The South African insurance industry is in the process of undergoing a number of changes, with new regulation being brought in by the National Treasury (NT) and the Financial Services Board (FSB). While practitioners in the short-term industry are worried about the effects these changes will have on their businesses, the South African Insurance Association remains concerned with the impact of the Regulatory Reform on costs, specifically compliance costs, which will ultimately be passed on to consumers, despite any positive impact that the changes may have on the industry.
