The legal and regulatory environment for insurers, intermediaries and insurance capital providers is critical
to the development (or not) of insurance markets. Insurance regulations must safeguard the financial integrity
of insurers, ensure proper consumer protection, and allow the industry to operate efficiently and with sufficient
flexibility to meet ever changing risks, consumer demands, technological developments, and other market forces.
Striking the right balance between these competing goals is difficult. It requires constant evaluation and evolution
of relevant legal and regulatory standards. IIS Insights on regulation will spotlight important current regulatory
developments and will seek to stimulate a discussion regarding the best regulatory and industry responses to these
developments.
