In discharging its general functions so far as relating to a PRA-regulated activity relating to the effecting or carrying out of contracts of insurance or PRA-authorised persons carrying on that activity, the PRA must, so far as is reasonably possible, act in a way—
which is compatible with its general objective and its insurance objective, and
which the PRA considers most appropriate for the purpose of advancing those objectives.
The PRA's insurance objective is: contributing to the securing of an appropriate degree of protection for those who are or may become policyholders.
This section applies only if the effecting or carrying out of contracts of insurance as principal is to any extent a PRA-regulated activity.
