BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

E.U. regulator to test insurers for interest rate impact

April 30, 2014 Reprints

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority is to test European insurers to check whether they would be able to do business even if interest rates continued to be at historic lows for a prolonged period, reports Reuters.

The tests will be carried out during the coming weeks and EIOPA will publish the results in November 2014.

EIOPA chairman Gabriel Bernardino said the test is "not about the individual failure of companies," and is "not a pass/fail test," Reuters reported.
