Subject: Input request into Premium Round Forum [SEC=OFFICIAL]
Hi s22
,
We are preparing the agenda for the Premium Round Forum on Tuesday 13 August 2024 where we advise insurers
on planned changes to the Premium Round forms and other industry changes that may be relevant to the process.

FOI 5338 - document 2
I was wondering if you can provide input on any ma ers within your respec ve teams that you think insurers would
consider important in the context of the premium round? For example, if there are any impending regula on /
compliance changes or reforms that may materially affect insurers?
For context, insurers men oned through our consulta on process that they appreciated updates at the Forum on
changes on regula on or compliance ma ers that can relate to price se ng behaviours.
Any input by COB Wednesday 24 June would be appreciated.
Kind regards
