Chapter 1 examines the objectives of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors and its adoption of the Insurance Capital Standard as it seeks to deliver a common framework for prudential solvency.
Chapter 2: The Bermuda Prudential Solvency Regime
Chapter 2 discusses all aspects of the Bermudian prudential solvency regime and explores the country’s position as a global center for insurance and reinsurance. We also examine how Bermuda’s rapid market growth has led to greater scrutiny from onshore regulators and will surely result in further regulatory evolution.
