The UK government has announced a significant review of its regulatory framework for captive insurance as part of broader financial services reforms. Chancellor Rachel
Reeves unveiled the consultation, which seeks to make the UK a more attractive destination for businesses managing risks through captives. Key proposals include reducing capital requirements, streamlining compliance, and expediting authorisation processes. These measures aim to boost the UK economy by fostering innovation in risk management, potentially contributing an estimated £225,000 annually per captive to economic growth through job creation and increased tax revenues.
This review aligns with the government’s broader strategy to enhance the competitiveness of its financial services sector and cement the UK as a global hub for insurance and reinsurance. Stakeholders can contribute their feedback until February 7, 2025.
This initiative is a promising step for businesses seeking efficient risk solutions, showcasing the UK’s commitment to fostering growth and innovation in financial services. To learn more about the consultation, visit our blog and discover more about captives in the UK for more insights.
