EU's insurers say rule is hurting the economy
Article Abstract:
A new accounting regulation of the insurance industry may be hurting the European Union economy. "Mark to market" is a regulation that requires investment portfolios to be revalued every year rather than holding an historical value on the books. The regulation is supposed to increase transparency yet it restricts regional businesses and may discourage consumers from investing in stocks.
