What happened

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposals include stricter Expense of Management limits and commission cuts of 1/2-⅓ rd in health, term, and motor insurance. Analysts noted that a 10% cut in new business commission rates could translate to a 10-12% fall in earnings for distributors.
