FYI: Regulators periodically question whether Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. poses significant risk to the financial system and should be designated “systemically important.” The latest is the Bank of England, which recently asked the U.S. Treasury why Berkshire is not on a list of global reinsurance companies deemed too big to fail and therefore subject to special scrutiny.
U.S. regulators have been studying whether Berkshire should be designated “systemically important” for more than a year, and are yet to disclose if they have reached a decision
