Abstract

The People’s Republic of China has experienced substantial growth in insurance demand over the last decade. However, development of the related laws and regulations has not kept pace with the development of the insurance industry there. This paper reports on a pioneering study comparing different statutory reserve, solvency, and early warning systems in a sample of countries and regions in three of the world’s important economic regions–Asia, North America, and Europe. It begins with the construction of a model office applicable to the People’s Republic of China’s regulatory framework and unique market environment. Reserve standards and solvency measurement systems in different supervisory frameworks then are applied to the model office. The results are analyzed as a comparative study of the People’s Republic of China’s total assets required for the reserves and solvency margins under the practices of other jurisdictions. Early warning systems also are discussed.
