At Seguros Summit 2026, the President of the Portuguese Insurance Regulator set out the regulator's view that longevity is a major challenge for both the insurance sector and society, but also an opportunity for insurers to rethink their role. He said the sector can respond by adjusting and combining products and services to meet the needs of an ageing population and by positioning itself as a relevant partner in managing one of the major risks facing modern societies. In that context, he said the regulator's task is to create the regulatory conditions for the market to respond to longevity-related needs while ensuring that this development takes place in a safe, fair and sustainable way.
