"The UK should be bolder in batting for Britain’s insurance and financial services sector"

iT seems like just yesterday that the UK government's Brexit whitepaper attracted frustrated head-shaking in the insurance industry... today, as we are no further forward in regards to the problem of market access, a new business report highlights the necessity to break the current political deadlock in Parliament so as to proceed forward.

In its Brexit along with the Insurance Sector: Towards 2020 and Beyond report, international law firm Kennedys shines a spotlight on opinions from senior insurance providers and policymakers, and has recognized exactly what the sector should let it protect investment, ability, and innovation following the UK renders the European Union.

To secure the future of the British insurance business, Kennedys urges the following:

Resolve the doubt surrounding the Conditions of the UK's departure.

The UK should aim for versatility round the date.

Define'greatest third nation' status.

The UK shouldn't turn into a rule-taker.

Protect employees' rights.

Safeguard investment in research and development.

"Our report clearly highlights a gulf between the sort of Brexit that the insurer favours along with the UK government's current whitepaper," explained Kennedys corporate and corporate affairs head Deborah Newberry. "Industry leaders don't favour the choice to leave discussions on mutual appreciation for solutions prior to the discussions have started.

"The UK must be headquartered in batting for Britain's insurance and financial services industry, provided the industry's contribution to the UK economy"

Newberry called it"critical" for the authorities to pay attention and guard the interests of the united kingdom insurance industry when the latter would be to keep its important market shares.

"The projected execution period to December 2020 provides an chance for common sense to prevail while the UK and EU invent a new trading relationship," she clarified. "However, the book of this government's whitepaper, as well as the political deadlock it's unleashed in the UK Parliament, possibly puts that proposition in danger.

"The UK has to begin to talk with a single voice or risk losing whatever gains might appear from Brexit."

Additionally, the report mentioned a consensus among insurance executives who far greater work is called for in the creation of any prospective regime, if this is the industry access mechanism to be embraced.
