How it should work
• Bear on demographics• Bear on health
– Education– Well being– Spending
• Bear on growth• Bear on savings
– (15% of disposable income)

Regulation: Solvency II

Regulation: Solvency II 2.0
• CRE loans not as favourably treated• New or increased role of rating agencies ?• Look through approach seems applicable• Anyway : transparency on risks taken,
disclosure, accountability• Eventually: who will control those new OTC
or non listed investments?• We need… a market

Property under Solvency II
• 25% capital charge• Should be near 10-15• But we lack data• Leverage prohibited
– Or limited to max 40% LTV• Property vs Private equity
– To be refined…– Transparency ?
