Italy’s insurance regulator, IVASス（イタリアの保険規制広）, is reportedly seeking more information about the internal control and governance systems of domestic insurance giant Generali, as it reviews the proposed asset management tie-up with French bank BPCE, according to two sources close to the matter, as reported by Reuters.
Background of the Merger
In November 2021, Reuters reported that Generali was in advanced talks with BPCE to set up a joint asset management venture, which would combine Generali’s asset management business with BPCE’s Banque Populaire & Caisse d’Epargne unit. The venture was expected to be headquartered in France and could be announced by the end of the year.
IVASス’ Concerns
IVASス（イタリアの保険規制広）’s concerns come as the regulator has the power to approve or reject mergers and acquisitions in the Italian insurance sector. The regulator is reportedly seeking clarification on how the proposed tie-up would impact Generali’s Italian business, as well as its overall risk profile.
Impact on Individual Customers
For individual customers, the outcome of IVASス’ review could have implications for the services and products offered by Generali in Italy. If the regulator approves the merger, customers may see new investment opportunities or improved services. However, if the regulator rejects the merger, Generali may need to restructure its business in Italy, which could lead to changes for customers.
Impact on the Global Financial Market
On a larger scale, the outcome of IVASス’ review could impact the global financial market. Generali is one of the largest insurance groups in the world, and a merger with BPCE would create a significant player in the European asset management market. If the merger is approved, it could lead to increased competition and consolidation in the European financial sector.

The review by Italy’s insurance regulator, IVASス（イタリアの保険規制広）, of Generali’s proposed asset management tie-up with French bank BPCE is a significant development in the European financial sector.
