Matteo Laterza, Chief Executive Officer of UnipolSai Assicurazioni and General Manager of the Unipol Group, has been active in public discussions on insurance regulation, mobility, and the role of the sector in the Italian economy. At the Insurance Day 2024 event, Laterza commented on the performance of Unipol’s stock, which had risen over 100% in the year, attributing it to the market’s reassessment of the company as an operating insurer rather than a holding company. He also discussed the expansion of the group’s health business, describing it as a response to demographic trends and limited public resources, and noted that out-of-pocket health spending in Italy is largely not intermediated by insurers, unlike in France or Germany. In a March 2024 conference on EU challenges, Laterza argued that insurance companies are long-term investors that can help stabilize markets, for instance when spreads widen. He cautioned against applying banking-style data-sharing rules to insurance, stating that insurers use data strategically to price risk. Earlier, in 2023, he spoke about Unipol’s investment in telematics and mobility services, emphasizing the role of data in improving safety and pricing, and in 2021 he highlighted the importance of data, human capital, and cloud infrastructure for the insurance sector’s contribution to Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
