Financial Stability

To support its mission of effective and globally consistent supervision to protect policyholders and to contribute to global financial stability, the IAIS adopted in November 2019 the holistic framework for the assessment and mitigation of systemic risk in the  insurance sector (“holistic framework”), for implementation from the beginning of 2020. The holistic framework is an integrated set of supervisory policy measures, a global monitoring exercise, and implementation assessment activities aimed at assessing and mitigating the potential build-up of systemic risk in the global insurance sector.

The holistic framework was developed from 2017. Consultation documents, including comments received and responses are available on the Consultations page.

The IAIS publishes on an annual basis the Global Insurance Market Report (GIMAR). The report provides insights in the performance of insurers and reinsurers as well as developments in the global insurance market from a supervisory perspective, focusing on the recent performance of the sector as well as key risks. For recent publications of the GIMAR, please see the link to the separate webpage to the left.
