Britain’s insurance industry is urging the Bank of England’s regulatory arm to rethink its live crisis simulation, citing heavy reporting demands and unrealistic scenarios in a stress test that pushed firms “to their absolute limit.” The Prudential Regulation Authority’s first “dynamic” stress test, which ran over three weeks in May, subjected insurers to successive crises including a U.S. West Coast earthquake, a Gulf of Mexico hurricane, a UK windstorm, European floods and a cyber event. “The accumulation of scenarios in such a short time frame was very unlikely,” said Nafisah Hussain, director of public policy at the International Underwriting Association,…
