NAIC REINSURANCE TASK FORCE ADVANCES COLLATERAL AND REINSURANCE REGULATION PROPOSAL

October 29, 2007 by Carlton Fields

The NAIC’s Reinsurance Task Force has advanced a proposal “to comprehensively modernize reinsurance regulation in the United States.” The proposal is outlined in a press release issued in conjunction with the recent meeting of the Annual Conference of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors. The proposal is in two parts: (1) NAIC Reinsurance Supervision Review Department; draft proposal to grant recognition of regulatory equivalence to non-U.S. insurance supervisors; and (2) Port of Entry State Criteria for Reinsures [sic] Supervised in Jurisdictions Approved by the NAIC Reinsurance Supervision Review Department and U.S. Licensed Reinsurers. Generally, the proposals provide for the regulation of US domiciled reinsurers through a single state, and the agreement to allow non-US domiciled reinsurers to be regulated in the United States through a single state “port of entry” if the foreign regulatory authorities provide a regulatory regime for the company that is functionally equivalent” to that in the United States The proposals also partially change the collateral requirements to a credit-based system, but do not by any means completely eliminate the collateral requirements. The NAIC has also posted on its website a PowerPoint presentation titled NAIC Reinsurance Collateral Update. The next step in this process is a meeting on November 7-8 in Atlanta in conjunction with the NAIC Financial Summit. Comments on the proposal are posted on the NAIC Reinsurance Task Force’s web site.
