These submissions set out the responses of Westpac Banking Corporation (Westpac) to the Commission's invitation to respond to policy and general questions raised following the insurance round of hearings. Question 1 Is the current regulatory regime adequate to minimise consumer detriment? If the current regulatory regime is not adequate to achieve that purpose, what should be changed? 2. The current regulatory regime governing general and life insurance provides a solid framework of legislation, regulatory standards, guides and industry codes for the governance, stability and conduct of insurers, and for the protection of consumers. In terms of legislation alone, insurance is subject to specific requirements and protections imposed by the Life Insurance Act 1995 (Cth) (Life Insurance Act), the Insurance Act 1973 (Cth) (Insurance Act), and the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth) (Insurance Contracts Act), as well as the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (ASIC Act). The General Insurance Code of Practice (General Insurance Code) and the Life Insurance Code of Practice (Life Insurance Code) also play a significant role in setting standards for insurer conduct. 3. While the current framework is comprehensive and adequate in striking a balance between the interests of all policyholders, the public and insurers, there are some aspects of the framework that could be enhanced.

    New Report Finds a Strong Economic Recovery Requires A

    PRESS RELEASE Princeton, NJ July 13, 2020 NEW REPORT FINDS A STRONG ECONOMIC RECOVERY REQUIRES A HEALTHY TRADE CREDIT INSURANCE INDUSTRY Report commissioned by leading trade credit insurers proposes government reinsurance policy to support U.S. economy As economic uncertainty due to COVID-19 continues to impact businesses across the country, a new report commissioned by trade credit insurers Euler Hermes, Coface and Atradius found that a lack of support for the trade credit insurance (TCI) industry could disrupt the stability of millions of businesses across the U.S. The report, titled “A Strong Recovery Requires a Healthy Trade Credit Insurance Industry,” outlines the importance of trade credit insurance to the economy, the significant cutbacks in TCI coverage that the COVID pandemic has caused, and the reasons why government support for the TCI industry is vital to the continuity of economic activity. The report conservatively concludes that in the absence of a government response, the cutbacks in coverage will inhibit $46 billion in additional production and the creation of approximately 155,000 U.S. jobs at supplier firms, with additional effects on downstream buyers. Euler Hermes, Coface and Atradius are the world’s three largest trade credit insurers, representing about 60% of the market in the U.S. Last month, the three companies formed a working group to educate the public and the U.S. government on the essential role trade credit insurance plays in supporting U.S. businesses and the economy at large. Statement from James Daly, CEO of Euler Hermes North America, Oscar Villalonga, President and CEO at Coface North America, and Gordon Cessford, President and Regional Director for North America at Atradius: It is not often that you see the main players in a single industry, typically competitors, come together for a common purpose of public interest.
