Irdai asks state-run insurers to account for wage costs annually

Irdai asks state-run insurers to account for wage costs annually - Regulators - 1 min read Irdai asks state-run insurers to account for wage costs annually Irdai has implemented a new requirement for state insurers to create annual provisions for wage increases, intending to soften the financial repercussions of periodic wage negotiations. Insurers are now obliged to evaluate the sufficiency of these provisions quarterly after obligations become clear. The government has ruled out options for additional capital, instead banking on solvency improvements from IFRS 17 and stakes in the NSE. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Irdai) has directed state-owned general insurers to make annual provisions for future wage revisions instead of recognising the liability once every five years, people familiar with the matter told ET. Distributed provisioning is aimed at easing the impact of periodic wage settlements on their balance sheets, said the people aware of the regulatory directive. The regulator has also asked insurers to review the adequacy of these provisions every quarter after the wage revision obligation crystallises, the people said. The directive comes as the government has ruled out fresh capital infusion into three public sector general insurers despite their weak solvency. Instead, improvements in solvency are expected to come from the implementation of IFRS 17 accounting standards and gains from the monetisation and revaluation of their holdings in the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the people said.

French antitrust watchdog orders Meta to resume talks with media groups over publishing fees - International - 2 min read French antitrust watchdog orders Meta to resume talks with media groups over publishing fees FRANCE-META-French antitrust watchdog orders Meta to resume talks with media groups over publishing fees By Forrest Crellin PARIS, - France's competition authority on Wednesday ordered Meta Platforms to put forward a payment plan and resume talks with French media groups that are seeking a year of unpaid fees for the use of their content online. The case is one of a growing number between publishers and tech companies over the use of content published on social media or used for AI training that have triggered litigation. Lodged by French media associations DVP and APIG, the French complaint alleged that Meta attempted to impose its own method for calculating fees for the re-use of published content on its services, while refusing to provide the information needed for them to evaluate the remuneration. In a statement, Meta said it disagreed with the competition authority's decisions but would engage with the process. "We remain committed to reaching a fair deal with DVP and APIG and we hope these decisions will mean the publishers now engage in good faith," it said in an emailed statement. Media rights group DVP, which includes the newspapers Le Monde and Les Echos, said it was satisfied with the decision and welcomed the renewed talks. At the heart of the dispute are "neighbouring rights," which in the European Union allow print media to seek payment for the digital use of their content. France has sought to strictly enforce the EU rules, resulting in large fines in recent years for tech companies, particularly Alphabet's Google.
