Insurance Groups Prepare To Push TPP, Other Open-Market Trade Policies

摘要

Insurance groups, entering the final stretch of this year's election season, touted the benefits of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the broader importance of trade policy during the National Association of Insurance Commissioners summer conference this past week. Three key trade deals involving the U.S., and bilateral negotiations with the European Union on ensuring market access for U.S. insurance and reinsurance companies, were on the agenda for the conference's industry liaison committee meeting on Aug. 28, though those issues also crept up in discussions elsewhere. The meeting marked a jumping-off point for groups to head to Capitol Hill during a lame-duck session to pressure lawmakers to pass TPP.
