Canadian securities regulators have made changes to give investors greater access to exempt markets.
In this edition of Insurance Focus, we have asked colleagues across the firm to describe the issues that they think are having the greatest impact on their local insurance industry. Technology and the rise of InsurTech are common factors having an effect on insurers as is the growing demand for cyber cover as attacks become more frequent. In a number of countries, increased regulation and costs of compliance are the main factors changing the operational landscape.
