OSFI DEFERS REINSURANCE PROPOSAL
TO 2020
The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions
(OSFI) announced that they'll be deferring the release of
their reinsurance proposal until 2020 and is open to further
consultation on the subject.
"This development is welcome news for the industry,"
says IBAO CEO Colin Simpson. "We remain committed to
continue our work to better understand market dynamics
and the potential implications that any proposed changes
on the reinsurance market may have on its members and the
consumers they serve."
