Gideon Benari, editor, Solvency II Wire, said: “Working with CARR at the London School of Economics has helped create a candid and open dialogue that will foster better understanding of the strengths and limits of governance in regulation.”
Mike Power, LSE and CARR said: “There is no doubt that regulators benefit from meeting and talking to each other about the fundamental challenges they share despite their different fields of operation. CARR and Solvency II Wire share a common commitment to supporting those conversations.”
