Marsh is lobbying U.S. regulators to ease bank capital rules on insured AI loans

What happened: Marsh is lobbying U.S. regulators to ease bank capital rules on insured AI loans. The insurance broker says credit risk cover does not free up regulatory capital for U.S. banks, as it does for European lenders. Why it matters: The push highlights a gap between U.S. and European treatment of insured credit risk, which Marsh says leaves U.S. banks without the capital relief European lenders receive.
