Capital standards
So that insurers can continue their role as major long-term investors in the economy, it is vital that policymakers set capital requirements for insurers’ investments at the right level. If those requirements are too high, it could become too expensive for insurers to continue making the long-term investments that underpin much of the global economy. IAFI represents the industry in various international discussions about capital requirements to ensure that they are set at an appropriate level and reflect the real risks faced by insurers.
