Financial Crisis: Private & Public Sector Impacts: Challenges Amid Economic and Regulatory Uncertainty

This PowerPoint report, presented by Robert Hartwig, president of the Insurance Information Institute, at the Southeastern Regulators Association Conference, analyzes the impact on both the private and public sectors of the current financial crisis. The presentation provides a point by point discussion of the most recent version of the federal government’s financial services rescue package and details of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Sections of the report look at the government’s AIG rescue plan and how the regulatory response to the meltdown of the financial sector could be substantial, affecting all segments of the industry, including insurers. The presentation also includes an updated overview of the property/casualty insurance industry, with a focus on problems typically faced by southeastern states such as vulnerability to catastrophe losses and a poor tort environment.
