LONDON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Britain's finance minister Jeremy Hunt announced a plan on Thursday to free up billions of pounds from the capital buffers of insurers to invest in infrastructure, potentially boosting economic growth.
"So to further support investment across our economy, I can also announce we are publishing our decision on Solvency II, which will unlock tens of billions of pounds of investment for our growth-enhancing industries," Hunt said in a fiscal statement in parliament.
