The situation the world has lived in since the beginning of 2020 is
unique because of the range, deep, speed and importance of the pandemic and of
the ways of communication, and travelling.
Consequences are in every sector, in
every continent. The European Union has had to manage this non-financial crisis
with the different national regulators. Each EU country has lived in a specific
sanitarian situation. That provokes international financial instability in
the private sector such as the general insurance one.
I studied liquidity risk management done by European Union general insurance
companies during this non-financial crisis for my dissertation.
The COVID-19 crisis has developed
negative and positive perspectives. It has provoked financial instability,
the insurance sector had to manage its difficulties and the financial,
health, and logistic difficulties of its customers.
This crisis also opened
opportunities, accelerated the digitalization evolution but also decreased
variable charges and opened a new area of way to work and communication. This
drives private organizations to maintain a significant amount of capital and
liquidity. Liquidity is immediately available whereas capital is not. Private
organizations have been surprised by the speed of this pandemic.
The lack of
liquidity had provoked bankruptcies and slowdown of activities. The ideal would
“to be able to create a well-balanced between capital and liquidity so to allow
companies to adapt themselves to situations.
Even if the global situation is better than in 2020, the general order stays fragile because of several actual and potential political strategies.
