As part of its departure from the European Union (Brexit), the United Kingdom is moving away from key EU insurance prudential regulatory standards, including by liberalizing the EU Solvency II regime. These reforms can be seen as political as well as regulatory — and if you're an insurance professional, it is important to understand what these changes mean and how they may impact you. The Solvency II regime came into force in the UK in 2016. The government announced a review of the regime in June 2020, followed by a range of proposed amendments this year.The reformed regime — which will be called Solvency UK — is meant to boost innovation in the sector and assist the government's drive for investment.This is the first episode of “The Standard Formula,” a podcast from Skadden covering subjects of interest for UK and European insurance professionals in the Solvency II world. Host Robert A. Chaplin — a partner at Skadden — is joined in this episode by Azad as they discuss the UK's recently announced post-Brexit Solvency II reforms.

https://www.afire.org/podcast/londoncallingcast/ With Brexit and pandemic resolutions coming into focus, pricing disparities could dissipate based on improved cross-border liquidity and cap rate compression in the London office market. Because the global real estate industry is so interconnected, what happens in one part of the world affects what happens everywhere. The UK's 2016 vote to leave the European Union (Brexit) created financial uncertainty that permeated into commercial real estate capital markets, particularly London's office market. London, historically a top destination for foreign capital, saw a decline in liquidity as investors fretted over the economic implications of the vote. Cross-border liquidity was further impaired by the COVID-19 pandemic and its ensuing travel restrictions. On this episode of the AFIRE Podcast, Christopher Muoio examines why cross-border liquidity has eroded, leading to higher cap rates than those of the Great Financial Crisis. As Brexit and pandemic resolutions come into focus, this divergence could dissipate.
The transition period for the UK leaving the European Union (“Brexit”) ended on 31 December 2020. In the months before the transition period ended, the UK converted into law any existing EU regulations that had direct effect in the UK at the end of the transition period. During this “onshoring” process the UK in some cases made technical and other amendments to the legislation so that it would work in the UK after Brexit. EU Directives applying before 31 December 2020 already formed part of UK law, so did not need UK onshoring. This episode is part of our Markets and Securities Services RegTalks series, covering regulatory topics from a global perspective that matter the most to you.

On March 29, 2019, the U.K. is scheduled to exit the European Union (Brexit). But no one has any idea what is actually going to happen. My fellow expats and immigrants are worried about our future legal status in the U.K., which we have made our home. Business owners, especially farmers, are losing business contracts due to economic uncertainty. Mental health issues are on the rise. People are stockpiling food. In recent days, people have been comparing the U.K. to Venezuela! A lot of the news stories about Brexit are wonky and confusing, so I invited my British friend, Mark Robson, to come on the Postcard Academy podcast to explain what Brexit means in language everyone can understand. (head to postcardacademy.co for show notes). In part one, Mark and I dive into some European history to explain how Brexit came to be. In part 2, we talk about how it feels to be living in England during this crazy time, which has been described as serious as WWII, and we share our predictions and dreams for the U.K. I’m your host, Sarah Mikutel.

Samantha Herrera, an organizer for reproductive and economic justice along the Texas-Mexico border discusses this issue. Next, The Trump administration has reversed course on the Murray-Alexander healthcare bill, demanding the rollback of key components of the Affordable Care Act in return for the White House’s support. Marc Stier, Director of the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center, joins the show. On the heels of its embarrassing defeat in last weekend’s regional elections, the Venezuelan opposition is pushing for more international pressure on their own country, but remain divided over recognizing the legitimacy of the vote.

Europe’s post-2008 financial crises have provided opportunities for Chinese overseas investment in cash-strapped European states. From infrastructure investments in a high-speed rail line between Serbia and Hungary, to developing Greece’s port of Piraeus, becoming majority shareholders in France’s Toulouse airport, and developing business parks in Belarus, China’s continent-wide investments are altering economic and political realities across Europe. In the wake of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union (Brexit), how will Chinese investment continue to change realpolitik in the Old Continent? The Harvard on China podcast talks with Phillipe Le Corre, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institute, former advisor at France’s Ministry of Defense, and former fellow at Harvard’s Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. Le Corre is the author of “China Offensive in Europe” from Brookings Institution Press. The "Harvard on China" podcast is hosted by James Evans at Harvard's Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies.

As I look back at this year one can focus on so many things. The Cubs won the World Series, Social Security claiming options underwent dramatic changes, interest rates hit an all-time low before rising dramatically since the election, and many were surprised by the outcomes from November’s election (not just the presidency). The stock market dropped dramatically early in the year and then rallied to new all-time highs in December. We had the British vote to leave the European Union (Brexit) and now several other European countries are considering leaving the Union. There were Olympics in Rio that surprised many by going off without the major catastrophe that many were expecting. All in all, this was a year of extremes.
