Bank of Greece deputy governor, Christina Papakonstantinou, stated in an exclusive interview with “N” that she is in favor of strengthening supplementary insurance, adding that a long-term and holistic national plan for the role of the sector in the economy and society could provide for the institution of new tax incentives.
She, as the deputy governor of the Bank of Greece responsible for the supervision of insurance companies, was positive about the possibility of a private and public sector partnership (PPP) to reduce the cost of servicing health insurance companies through public hospitals, considering that the pricing of health services based on DRGs could also be considered for Greece.
Referring to international geopolitical threats and how they generally affect the financial system, she described the need for constant vigilance by supervisory authorities, while commenting on cryptocurrencies as an investment option, she emphasized that the revision of the “Solvency II” Directive is underway for 2027, which will provide for the integration of capital requirements for investments in cryptos.
Regarding AI, she noted that the need for technological transformation of insurance companies may lead to a restructuring of the industry, she underlined that artificial intelligence will strengthen supervisory procedures, while she recognized as an inherent risk of the use of AI the lack of transparency and the possible restriction of access to insurance products by specific groups.
Finally, she urged insurance companies to contribute more actively to growth, channeling – as institutional investors – savings into productive investments.
