What macroeconomic or regulatory factors were discussed that might affect MetLife’s insurance and investment operations?

Based on the content of the news release you provided, the second‑quarter 2025 financial‑update video from MetLife’s CFO John McCallion does not include any discussion of macro‑economic or regulatory factors that could impact the company’s insurance or investment businesses. The summary only notes that the video is now available on MetLife’s website and does not detail any external economic conditions (e.g., interest‑rate trends, inflation, or global growth outlook) or regulatory developments (e.g., changes in solvency rules, capital‑requirement standards, or data‑privacy legislation) that might affect MetLife’s operations.

Therefore, with the information given, no specific macro‑economic or regulatory influences are identified. If you need insights on the typical factors that MetLife usually monitors—such as monetary‑policy shifts, credit‑market conditions, or evolving insurance‑regulation frameworks—you would need to refer to the full video or a more detailed transcript of the CFO’s commentary.
