Negative outlook for Australian bonds and banks poses a risk to insurers.
S&P's outlook negative on Australia's sovereign rating is of potential concern for insurance companies that are required to follow APRA's Life and General Insurance Capital (LAGIC) Standards.

It is possible that APRA might adjust the current LAGIC rules to account for a downgrade. However, in the absence of any adjustment, we have conducted analysis on a model portfolio to assess the potential outcomes for Life and General Insurers should a downgrade occur. (VIEW LINK)
