: Australian Regulatory Compliance ReviewAPRA refinements to the general insurance prudential framework
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has released its final general insurance refinements package following extensive industry consultation over the past year.
The finalised package includes a response paper, prudential standards and prudential practice guides.
The key refinements are:
- recognition of five different categories of insurer, with modifications to the prudential framework tailored to the risk profiles of the categories; and
- changes to APRA's capital requirements in relation to foreign reinsurance and also to equity and property investments.
The majority of changes will take effect from 1 July 2008 and the reinsurance changes from 1 January 2009.
