The International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) said September 30th that they still haven’t completed their study of which insurance companies are global systemically important financial institutions (G-SIFIs) and they cannot decide whether they should face extra capital rules until that work is complete.
The IAIS is helping to draw up new rules for the Financial Stability Board, aimed at preventing a repeat of the problems seen at insurer AIG, which required a rescue by the U.S. government during the 2008 financial crisis.
The rules for insurers are expected to be finalized in time for the G20 meeting in Mexico next year.
