A packed year of regulatory reform is the key talking point in this week’s edition of the Insurance News podcast.

INsight, hosted by Insurance News Managing Director Andrew Silcox, features the observations of Insurance News Publisher Terry McMullan, Managing Editor John Deex, our team of journalists, and occasional guests.

In the latest episode, the panel casts an eye over the key dates in this year’s regulatory calendar, such as the introduction of the unfair contracts regime to insurance on April 5, and product design and distribution obligations on October 5.

It’s going to be a big year, and you’d better be across the long list of upcoming changes.

Other discussion points are UK-based Ardonagh’s major investment in Resilium, and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s concerns about the upcoming Aon/Willis Towers Watson merger.

And finally, we give our thoughts on Facebook’s controversial – and thankfully soon-to-be-ended – news blackout.

You can find a new episode of INsight published here every Wednesday.
