金融监管总局：非银行金融资产投资与保险投资关联性进一步提高

Core Viewpoint - The increasing correlation between non-bank financial assets and banking and insurance assets poses risks that are harder to penetrate and spread quickly, as highlighted by the Deputy Director of the National Financial Regulatory Administration, Xiao Yuanqi, at the Asia Insurance Forum 2025 [1] Regulatory Environment - Stricter regulations on capital requirements for solvency and leverage limits on large risk exposures are essential to prevent insurance companies from blindly increasing risk appetite for short-term high returns, thereby enhancing the stability of insurance assets [1] Market Trends - Since the 2008 global financial crisis, the rapid development of non-bank financial intermediaries, alongside a relaxed financing environment, has led to a significant increase in asset multiples, with global private credit exceeding $2 trillion [1] - Insurance companies, as key providers of funds, have expanded investment channels and improved asset-liability structures, resulting in higher yields [1] Credit Risk Concerns - The complexity and low transparency of these asset structures, often lacking ratings or having low ratings, increase the credit risk faced by insurance companies, as borrowers typically have high leverage and a greater probability of defaulting [1]
