Modernization bill likely To Boost Insurance Stocks

Article Abstract:

Sen Phil Gramm (R-TX), the new chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, surprised Washington and the financial services industry when he said that passing a financial industry regulatory modernization bill was his number one priority. Gramm's surprising announcement was made after meeting with Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan on allowing banks to enter into nonbanking financial businesses through subsidiaries. Analysts believe that the prospects of a deregulation bill passing in 1999 are uncertain. Insurance companies's stock prices are expected to be buoyed by any progress towards a financial services regulatory modernization bill.
